food for thought

The Swiss government conducted the most comprehensive analysis of Homeopathy ever done by any government. The Health Technology Assessment concluded that Homeopathy is as effective as conventional medicine and that it is vastly safer than conventional medicine. A separate cost analysis found that it is 15.4% less expensive than conventional medicine. The Swiss HTA recommended that it be included in government health programs.
The study can be seen at PubMed and is discussed by Dana Ullman in two articles on Huff Post.
There are 600 studies -- basic science, clinical trials and observational studies -- supporting homeopathy. 200 of them showing Homeopathy produces significant and sometimes substantial health benefits have been published in 92 respected, national and international, peer-reviewed journals. Some of those can be seen at the web sites of the National Center for Homeopathy, extraordinarymedicine and avilian.co.uk
I found these two comments on a sight that I was watching You Tube and read a few comments.  
homeopathy or bust
