Razor gang targets natural therapies subsidy......

NATURAL therapies such as aromatherapy, reiki and homeopathy will fall victim to the quest to return the budget to surplus, with the government no longer prepared to subsidise them.
Tuesday's budget will charge the Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Baggoley, with identifying a range of therapies that have not been shown to be clinically effective.

thank fuck that there is some sense left, Kichi.

Fucking pseudobollocks. Few things make me as angry as stuff purported as science but without the statistical backup nor the backing of physicians.

Thank FSM. It's one thing to spread bullshit when you actually believe the shit, but an entirely different issue when you're making money off of people being sick by selling them something that you KNOW doesn't work.

Homeopathy: A medical practice from 1795, because, you know...medical practices from 1795 are TOTALLY more effective than modern techniques. I openly mock people who use homeopathic "treatments." Doesn't earn me any friends from the people who use it but, really, would I WANT someone like that in my life? I think not.

Homeopathic cures can be dangerous, if you forget to take a treatment you can suffer from an overdose! Tongue

As someone who has studied to become a nurse and now to become a pharmacist, I absolutely hate homeopathy. It's such a load of bullshit, that it isn't even funny. That someone dare to call homeopathic preparations "remedies" and sell it to sick people. Fuck no, I can't deny the placebo effect, but that is just so absolutely disgusting! "Water memory", my ass. Those quacks should learn some chemistry.. Tongue
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
