I am appealing to the British Public on a matter of urgency regarding the Science and Technology committee Evidence Check into homeopathy due to report on 22.2.10.
Why the Evidence Check into homeopathy was considered important at this juncture given all the challenges facing the nation is not clear, that the balance of witnesses called to give evidence was heavily weighted in favour of those against homeopathy there is no doubt, and several of those witnesses had no specialist knowledge of homeopathy at all.

Evan Harris is the Liberal Democratic MP for Oxford West and Abingdon, and he is also a principal investigator in the Science and Technology Committee’s Evidence Check on homeopathy. Evan Harris completed his IPT Fellowship with GlaxoSmithKline Ltd.
So why is he leading the sceptic anti homeopathy 10.23 campaign? Evan Harris also has links to Sense About Science, which he declared to the Science and Technology Committee’s Evidence Check on homeopathy.
Phil Willis is the Liberal Democrat MP for Harrowgate an Knaresborough, and he was a Member of the Science and Technology Commission into homeopathy, and he also has links to Sense About Science,
This is a scandalous conflict of interest!

So let’s get this straight – the Science and Technology Committee report into homeopathy and its recommendations that led to the media snow this week, and the dramatic assertion that the public have been duped since 1948 by NHS placebos masquerading as medicine, is the result of a report ratified by THREE MPs: TWO of whom were NOT EVEN PRESENT AT THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS – and ONE of the two was NOT EVEN A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE when the hearings were held, and is due to stand down at the election in May this year.
This Science and Technology Committee investigation into homeopathy was a set up and a sham from its inception to the final meeting and delivery of the report to the UK press. And there’s no “surely not” about it.

On Monday, Tiger Woods’ wife Elin lifted her sunglasses to reveal puffy, dark-circles under her eyes as she picked up daughter Sam, 2, from school in Orlando. As usual, Elin, 30, was not wearing her wedding ring.
Us Weekly recently reported that Woods’ behavior has taken such a toll on Elin that she has lost nearly 10 pounds and turned to homeopathic remedies to fall asleep. Read the rest of this entry »
Following the success of Boots sales of homeopathic remedies, and the fact that Alternative medicine sales soar as consumers shake off cynicism, Martindale have decided to follow suit and advise on homeopathic remedies:
Some people think that, since their purported mechanism of action does not have a convincing scientific foundation and since there is insufficient published clinical evidence, their inclusion is not justified.
But the fact remains that homoeopathic remedies have found their way on to the shelves in many pharmacies across the world, and the Editor’s decision is that they should no longer be ignored.
Thus, in the Martindale tradition of providing sound guidance on identification and nomenclature, we are in the process of including information about the ingredients of the mother tincture and recording the names used in official homeopathic sources such as the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia, the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, and the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India.
However, we have refrained from commenting on any suggested uses.

Sales of alternative medicines are booming as consumers shake off their cynicism – proving the old adage there is no such thing as bad publicity!
Analysts say the market has grown by 18 per cent in two years and is worth £213million a year. And they predict sales will increase by 33 per cent to £282million over the next four years as more patients reject prescription drugs in favour of natural remedies. Read the rest of this entry »
