Homeopathy – is there anything to it?
In 2009 leading pharmacy Boots revealed that they didn’t believe homeopathy works. However, despite this confession and continual studies which prove that homeopathy produces the same results achieved in placebo tests, the NHS still managed to spendover four million pounds in 2009creating homeopathic medicines.
Shocked by the National Health Services and leading Pharmacies ‘no harm’ theories to homeopathy, over three hundred activists are now planning to partake in a group homeopathic overdose to help raise public knowledge about the fact that homepathy is ineffectual.
During this protest which is set to occur on the 30th January 2010, all 300 members will openly swallow in public an entire bottle of 60 homeopathic tablets to show that they are nothing more than fakes as well as encourage pharmacies to take them off their shelves
Where did Homeopathy come from?
Described by many as ‘all natural herbal medicine’ the majority of the ingredients contained within this complementary herbal medicine are so weakthat there is nothing medicinal about them.
However further studies into the creation of homeopathy has unveiled that it is not strictly an herbal medicine, but is based on 3 theories discovered in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann. 3 theories which are still utilised in the development of homeopathic tablets to this day:
- The Law of Similars where whatever caused your symptoms will also cure them i.e. unable to sleep, take caffeine
- The Law of Infinitesimals where the more dilute the remedy, the more potent it will become
- The Law of Succession where vigorous stirring of a homeopathic solution would further increase its concentration
Analysingthis information, it is easy to see why sceptics are calling upon the government to instruct the NIHCE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to evaluate whether it is appropriate for the NHS to promote homeopathy. Providing restricted if any results, all clinical trials point to the fact that they will not improve your health
