    Seems others are cottoning on to what we've known all along

    The readers' comments are always a hoot when these articles arise.

    Big Pharma conspiracies, closed minded skeptics/scientists, it works in animals, I tried it for myself, etc.

    Everything other than links to clinical trials, or quality evidence, that actually show that it works.

    It's good to see that some big hitters in the world of science are speaking out against the scandalous waste of public money on this nonsense.

    I wish I could say with confidence that rationality is winning the day here in the UK however, but I suspect that the decline of homeopathy within the NHS has as much, if not more, to do with finance than anything.

    I especially liked the comment that basically said "Medicine can't cure everything, therefore homeopathy works". It's amazing how little people bother to think about what they're saying, even when they're shouting it out for the whole world to hear.
    Better sorry than safe.

    There's a good post over at DCscience.net you should look at. The homeopaths sound like nothing more (IMO) than kids with their hands in the biscuit jar regarding their recent stellar performance.

    All this can have only one meaning: if a homeopath suspects that the enquirer is a sceptic, tell them one story, but if they are a paying customer tell them a different story.
