Article: “Stop funding homeopathy, say British MPs”

For those of you interested in alternative medicine, my husband sent me the link to an article that might be of interest to you.  The article is about the British healthcare system and homeopathy.

I know I previously had briefly mentioned that I personally don’t believe in homeopathy, although I know that many people do.  (Here in Germany, homeopathy is WAY more popular than in the US.  As in, if you ask a pharmacist for advice on medications to treat a cold, they will give you nose cream, decongestant, another decongestant thing, plus the homeopathic remedy.)  I also talked about my brief experience with visiting a homeopath.

The article is titled, “Stop funding homeopathy, say British MPs,” and it is about a House of Commons committee that has recently recommended that the British (public) healthcare system stop funding homeopathy because it has not been proven to be any better than a placebo. 

I was surprised to learn that they have spent so much on homeopathy to begin with.

What do you think?
