Homoeopathy: voodoo on the NHS
Jamie Whyte
HOMOEOPATHS ARE prescribing their potions for malaria prevention, it was
reported in The Times yesterday. This is worrying, even to Melanie Oxley of
the Society of Homeopaths, because, as she says, there is no evidence that
homoeopathy can guard against malaria.

Homeopaths 'endangering lives' by offering malaria remedies

The Guardian
Doctors and scientists have warned holidaymakers not to use homeopathic
remedies for malaria and other serious tropical diseases or their lives
could be put at risk.
The warning follows an investigation by the BBC which found 10 homeopathic
clinics and pharmacies allegedly went against government guidelines by
recommending unproven remedies for malaria and other tropical diseases such
as typhoid, dengue fever and yellow fever.
Scientists said the homeopaths' advice was reprehensible and likely to
endanger lives. Professor Geoffrey Pasvol, a tropical medicine expert at
Imperial College London, said: "Medical practitioners would be sued, taken
to court and found guilty for far less. What this investigation has
unearthed is appalling."
