Stop funding homeopathy, MPs urge

http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/feb/22/stop-funding-homeopathy-mps-urge

Thought you might be interested in this latest from the UK.

I think people should have a right to use unverified medicines if they choose to; but I don't think that the rest of us should have to pay for it.

1. This is good news.

I'm not convinced that it's good to let scams continue in the name of "rights." I would certainly advocate that, if homeopathic products remain on the market, they should contain a label that indicates there is no proof that they benefit anyone beyond action as a placebo.

2. Yeah, but the NHS funds 3 (I think) homeopathic hospitals!

It's appalling.

If that inbred halfwit prince Charles would keep his ignorant mouth shut, it might help a little. Does he think they kept his gin-sodden grandmother alive until nearly 100 by giving her Magic Water?
