Homeopathy effective for 0 out of 68 illnesses

Study finds Homeopathy effective for 0 out of 68 illnesses
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/...84356.html
A leading scientist has declared homeopathy a "therapeutic dead-end" after a systematic review concluded the controversial treatment was no more effective than placebo drugs.
Professor Paul Glasziou, a leading academic in evidence based medicine at Bond University, was the chair of a working party by the National Health and Medical Research Council which was tasked with reviewing the evidence of 176 trials of homeopathy to establish if the treatment is valid.
A total of 57 systematic reviews, containing the 176 individual studies, focused on 68 different health conditions - and found there to be no evidence homeopathy was more effective than placebo on any.

Does that mean it's 100% effective for placebo responders? All ya got to do is have faith.

A surprisingly positive result. I would have expected -2 out of 68.

If you forget to take your homeopathic pills, will you get an over dose??

God knows how much time and money that study cost.
What next? Are we going to be obliged to fund studies to prove the moon isn't made of cream cheese?
"In the UK, two NHS hospitals provide homeopathy, as well as a number of GP practices"
FFS. My fucking money is being wasted on this shyte. They could've spent it on strippers and booze for every birthday I've had for the last 10 years. No wonder the NHS has no money.

Zebo! My palm reader last week at the market predicted the 0-68 result! She was right! It's all bullshit! *scratches head, confused*
