Chief Executive of the British Homeopathic Society, Cristal Sumner, states with regard to the Parliamentary Science committee’s devastating report on homeopathy:
‘It does seem an irresponsible way of decision-making for a Committee of four voting members to draw conclusions that impact the health and welfare of thousands of patients from just four and half hours of verbal testimony on three distinct topics and from a number of written submissions that were each limited to just 3000 words.’
She went on to suggest only a meta-analysis would be a valid method of assessing whether homeopathy impacted on the health of patients.
Only kidding. She didn’t.

Doesn’t that press release read as if they haven’t read the report at all, or if they have, haven’t understood a word of it?
Take the sentence “The committee did not entertain evidence of effectiveness, which is actually what patients care most about”. There is a whole section, over many paragraphs, setting out in some considerable detail the reasoning and rationale behind focussing on efficacy and not effectiveness. Note here that the BHA do not rebut the conclusions of the committee or address the [lack of] evidence, but simply stamp and wail like an angry teenager.
It’s actually embarrassing.
now see, this sort of stuff really does not sound right
One of the most important thing to make real dreaming about 1st page of google is diversity of backlink sources, and links of course should to be dofollow.

from just four and half hours
If we look at all of the valid research on homeopathy, we will have a hard time stretching it out to 4 1/2 hours.
How much time does it take to get to the essence of homeopathy. Homeopathy is just a fairy tale from a contemporary of the Brothers Grimm.
The more homeopathy is studied, the more evidence there is that homeopathy is just an overly expensive placebo.
