Homeopathy; confidence trick or cure?

January 13, 2016

There is no research evidence to prove that homeopathy works, but millions of people depend on them. So what to do? The NHS won’t pay for them as they need evidence to prove they work before allowing them to be reimbursed by the government.

There is lots of evidence that the placebo effect works, so is Homeopathy just a form of placebo? If something makes a person better, should we simply allow that to be sold in shops?

What if there was evidence to prove it did people harm, but patients believed the opposite?

If you have a view you can rate the Homeopathy companies on http://gibli.com and say what you think about their products and their ethics.pills02
