Dear All
Does Homeopathy Work ?
Read the latest issue of Effective Health Care which focuses on the
effectiveness of one of the most established complementary disciplines -
homeopathy. Online copies of the bulletin are available from:
www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/ehc73.htm
Effective Health Care does conclude that there is currently insufficient
evidence of effectiveness to either recommend homeopathy as a treatment
for any particular condition, or warrant significant changes in the
current provision of homeopathy.
