NHS Should Stop Funding Homeopathy, Says Parliamentary Committee

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday February 23, 2010 @06:57AM from the how-am-I-going-to-align-my-chakras-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Homeopathic remedies work no better than placebos, and so should no longer be paid for by the UK National Health Service, a committee of British members of parliament has concluded. In preparing its report, the committee, which scrutinizes the evidence behind government policies, took evidence from scientists and homeopaths, and reviewed numerous reports and scientific investigations into homeopathy. It found no evidence that such treatments work beyond providing a placebo effect." Updated 201025 19:40 GMT by timothy: This recommendation has some people up in arms.

Yes MODERN,LEGAL, homeopathy is watered down horseshit. The politicians decrying it are to blame for its condition.
