For the second consecutive year, Boiron USA partnered with
Vitamin Angels, a global non-profit organization working to
reduce child mortality by connecting infants and children under
five with vital nutrients. Starting in September 2011 for a
limited time, Boiron, homeopathic medicine provider, will donate
a percentage of sales to Vitamin Angels from boxes of
Oscillococcinum packed in a specially marked custom display. The
proceeds from each purchased box of Oscillo, a homeopathic flu
medicine, are enough to provide one child with vitamin A for one
year.
Family Doctors make history with 100 years of service
It's been 100 years and counting for Family Doctors of
Vicksburg, and members will celebrate the founding of the
practice by Dr. Z.L. Gilding in 1911, just after he graduated
from the University of Michigan's homeopathic medical school.
Homeopathy new ray of hope in dengue-hit districts
While the authorities continue to battle increasing cases of
dengue, which has no known vaccine, homeopathy practitioners are
cashing in on the situation and are selling 'preventive'
medicines in Dhenkanal. People from Angul and Dhenkanal district
seem to be making a beeline for homeopathy clinics to buy
medicines to prevent the vector-borne disease.
Reality on Trial: Homeopathy v. the Blogosphere
Boiron has dropped the suit against Riva. Smart move on their
part, I imagine - even in these odd times I think it would be
difficult to make a case for the legitimacy of their products.
It's too bad, I'd hoped that the suit would be covered widely
and help to educate people about the absurdity of homeopathy.
Cuban Company Labiofam Signs Agreement with Belarusian Pharmaceutical
Cuba's LABIOFAM business group Pharmaceutical Biological Labs.
and the Belarusian firm Phamland penned a representation and
distribution agreement for the marketing in that European
country of the Cuban homeopathic product Vidatox.
Homeopathy and "plausibility bias" versus science
One of the things that distinguishes evidence-based medicine EBM
and science-based medicine SBM is how the latter takes into
account prior probability that a therapy is likely to work when
considering clinical trials. My favorite example to demonstrate
this difference, because it's so stark and obvious, is
homeopathy. Homeopathy, as regular readers of this blog no doubt
know by now, is a mystical, magical system of medicine based on
two principles.
