[escepticos] Homeopathic remedies: a real cure or a waste of NHS money? The Guardian

[Inés G.A.T.]

Voy a tratar de seguir la noticia, a ver si aparecen los resultados
del informe mencionado en estos párrafos... si alguien más lo sigue,
agradecería que me lo comentara.

"Millions of people believe they are cures for most of life's woes,
from headaches to eczema. Prince Charles even claims one helped him
get over the effects of his recent broken arm. But now the efficacy of
homeopathic drugs is under attack – from MPs who believe their effects
are unproven and that their use is a waste of taxpayers' money. They
are pressing to ensure that the National Health Service no longer
spends an estimated £4m on homeopathic treatments.

Last year the select committee began hearing evidence about the use of
homeopathy in the NHS and will finalise the wording of its report on
the subject tomorrow. The report will be published the following week
– and is likely to call for a complete reappraisal of the role of
homeopathy in the health service."
