Homeopathy Sucks, say UK politicians

Finally, it seems that someone has woken up and realized that homeopathy is the biggest scam on earth. Last week a group of British scientists strongly recommended to the government to stop funding all homeopathic products because they are B.S. (exactly what I have been saying in my column for many years).

The well-known Science and Technology committee in Britain found zero evidence that homeopathy based on herbal medicine was effective- in fact they were hard pressed to find even one single symptom that was relieved by homeopathy. Of course, the researchers did observe that all patients were relieved of their money.

The British government has acknowledged that there is no scientific proof that homeopathy works. The British government spends millions on homeopathy treatment each year. The committee also urged the drug regulatory agency not to license any homeopathic treatment since they were more likely to be scams and not bona fide medicine.

The homeopathy industry in North America is a multibillion dollar industry with new quake treatments being announced every week. For the consumer, “buyer beware” is an adage that should not be forgotten- medicine today has more to do with money than healing.
