Shock News - Homeopathy is Crap! It's Official!

NHS money 'wasted' on homeopathy

The NHS should stop funding homeopathy, MPs say.
The House of Commons science and technology committee said using public money on the highly diluted remedies could not be justified.
The cross-party group said there was no evidence beyond a placebo effect, when a patient gets better because of their belief that the treatment works.
But manufacturers and supporters of homeopathy disputed the report, saying the MPs had ignored important evidence.
Some £4m a year is spent on homeopathy by the NHS, helping to fund four homeopathic hospitals and numerous prescriptions.
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old system of treatment that uses highly diluted substances - sometimes so none of the original product is left - that are given orally.

The only thing surprising about this revelation is that it took them so bloody long!!

More EVIDENCE that the so-called medical profession is scared of an holistic alternative!!!

Not really. It is truly the province of wankers. My fuckwit ex used to "treat" her seriously ill cat with homeopathic "remedies". I should have reported her to the RSPCA.

I think doctors prescribe the woo to patients they would have prescribed sugar pills to anyway

You sound like the sort of person stupid enough to go for this maybe if you convince yourself that this shit works you will stop whining to me ?

You people just need to keep an open mind.

How did the mass-suicide-by-homeopathic-medicine-overdose come out? Many casualties?

The first casualty was common sense, followed shortly thereafter by rationality.

It was pretty funny, actually. Drinking gallons of "homepathic medicine" and waiting for any outcome other than an over-powering need to tinkle.

This will add weight to the Simon Singh case, no doubt. The homeophatetic crowed have less of a claim, now that the NHS won't even condone it.

Yes, but that just shows the tonnes of hidden toxins in the body just waiting to be eliminated...

There's some cunt from the homeopaths on the radio now, blatantly lying and blabbering on about homeopathy working on an 'energetic' basis rather than a 'chemical' one and quoting 73 scientific tests that show that it works!

Roll out Ben Goldacre. These fuckers should never be allowed to get away with such complete fabrication.
