Homeopatia é Picaretagem, Diz Governo Australiano

A homeopatia é a medicina predileta dos hippies e seus filhotes bastardos. Inúmeros otários se tornaram presas fáceis dessa picaretagem profissional que não cura porra nenhuma. A homeopatia está para a medicina assim como a astrologia está para a astronomia: “There is no reliable evidence that homoeopathy is effective for treating health conditions.” That is the stark conclusion of the Australian government’s extensive review of the available scientific literature pertaining to homeopathic therapies, which use highly diluted formulas to treat numerous ills.Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council assessed studies on the effectiveness of homeopathy in treating 68 different conditions, including asthma, arthritis, cold and flu, chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema, cholera, malaria, and heroin addiction, and concluded that either the homeopathic treatment was no more effective than placebo or that there was insufficient evidence to suggest the homeopathic cure was more effective than that. “Homeopathic remedies contain nothing whatsoever,” University College London pharmacologist David Colquhoun told The Independent. “The Americans have spent $2 [billion] investigating these things . . . they haven’t found a single one that works.”“Obviously we understand the placebo effect,” John Dwyer, an immunologist at the University of New South Wales, told The Guardian. “We know that many people have illnesses that are short lived by its very nature, and their bodies will cure them, so it’s very easy for people to fall in the trap that because they did ‘A’, ‘B’ follows.”Homeopathy has long been considered a pseudoscience, and several studies have failed to detect any effect of homeopathic treatments. But the Australian report serves as both the most extensive and coordinated effort yet to debunk claims made by homeopathic practitioners and as a directive to Australian doctors to warn their patients that such alternative therapies may interfere with more effective conventional medicines.

  1. Este é um negócio bilionário aquí marcas como Swisse, Cenovis e outras bancam horas de TV, atletas olímpicos e tuo o mais vendendo remédios naturais sem eficácia comprovada entre as muitas "vitaminas".
    Sem falar das milhares de clínicas alternativas.
    Tem muita picaretagem que involve as medicinas orientais tb, este pessoal tem um lobby poderoso o suficiente para peitar os médicos tradicionais.
