CFI are suing Boiron for violations of the Consumer Protection Procedures Act for the "unfair and deceptive trade practices it regularly utilizes in the marketing and sale of homeopathic products"...

Apparently it's awful. And yet... I have a new grand-nephew, born last night or early this morning to my nephew and his partner. I expect that, as usual, she did most of the work! Born by emergency C-section, two months premature. Three pounds. Breathing on his own and beginning to eat. Has...

Georgian College cancels diploma in homeopathy (Georgian College is the name, it's actually in Ontario, Canada) Hey, skeptics win one. Good on the doctors for speaking up and writing letters. Amazing how close this came to happening though. It had already been approved by the college and...

NHS England votes to defund homepathy, finally. 'The decision to end primary care prescriptions for homeopathy means that homeopathy funding is now restricted purely to some NHS Trusts clinics in Scotland, London, and South West England.' Hopefully the rest will follow soon...

One more aspect, we may need to check: In view of SR can also be a natural healing méchanism, whether it can also revert cancer cells to become normal cells? Actually, clearing killed cells in mass can lead tó heavy need of body cleaning mechanism which otherwise can also be quite harmful. So...

The BBC has an article on the placebo effect in animals: Why animals experience the placebo effect much like we do Those of us who have followed the debates here about homoeopathy will find few surprises here, apart from the fact that a mainstream news media actually gets it right! One thing...

Link. Not really a surprise, homeopathy has been disproved numerous times before, but a major Australian meta-study which analysed more the 1,800 papers has shown that homeopathy is completely ineffective. Washington Post The Guardian

Hello all, We have disscused a lot in following thread but still not ending. That thread should have been bit tired and OP was meant for other purpose. So I felt it better to discuss about posible science and positive about homeopathy in this new thread...

They've been asked to stop selling distilled water at exorbitant prices to children while lying that it somehow has a medical benefit. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/homeopaths-prepare-to-lauch-fight-against-pending-federal-policy-change/article28856314/ They...

You probably shouldn't laugh at this. ;) Twenty-nine overdoses but those effected seem to have recovered okay.

It's a start: Nosode homeopathic labels must read 'not vaccines or alternatives to vaccines:' Health Canada http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/nosode-homeopathic-labels-must-read-not-vaccines-or-alternatives-to-vaccines-health-canada-1.3176008 :wave1

I saw a parody of a homeopathic "remedy" package that was shared on facebook by the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe. I quickly assumed that it was originally a package of Oscillococcinum and commented, like others, that it was 100% sugar. When I took a closer look however, I saw that it was...

Or does it? Does anyone know? I know little about homeopathy, but recalling seeing that man in the video chugging down the contents of a rack's worth of homeopathy vials to prove they won't overdose him got me curious. Cpl Ferro

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! In a staggeringly dumb move, the Professional Standards Authority in the U.K. have accredited The Society of Quackeopathy a.k.a. The Society of Homeopaths. See the full story here...

Very occassionally government manages to produce legislation that actually makes sense: http://www.health24.com/Natural/News/Are-alternative-medicines-in-trouble-20140903 From the article: Of course the industry has erupted into a rage-filled sea of indignation and are suing the minister of...

Well effectively. The regulations governing the practice were published but none of the magic water peddlers homeopaths met them (image, actually requiring medical training :eek:). So no-one can practice. Unsurprisingly the sugar pill sellers are unhappy. A good start.

IMO anyway, or they wouldn't have a link to this story on their main page: http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/17/health/cancer-relapse-fitzgerald/index.html?hpt=hp_bn13 I hope like heck this woman beats the big C, despite herself, of course. But I want to kick the #### out of whoever at CNN is...

A US make of homeopathic quack remedies, Terra Medica, has been ordered by the FDA to recall batches of six of its magic potions as they may contain an actual active ingredient, in this case penicillin. As they're not labeled as such they could be injurious to those allergic to penicillin...
