newscientist.com— Homeopathic remedies work no better than placebos, and so should no longer be paid for by the UK National Health Service, a committee of British members of parliament has concluded.

_First_ do no harm. << most basic principle of medicine which getting fried by 400 xrays violates. Maybe they need to get the xray exposure down by say two orders of magnitude before they put people in it and give them cancer.
Homeopathy may not work all the time, but the alternative - taking something like Yaz (pharma) - that may cause dizziness, dysphoria, mood swings, inability to drive machinery, liver failure, anal leakage, and death ain't much better. At the bottom of this page when I wrote this comment was a link to a digg article "Senate report links diabetes drug to heart attacks"
@breadfred - Unfortunately, if it has an active ingredient, then it's not homeopathy. Extra strength homeopathic remedies would mean more water and greater dilution.
This is larger than what most people even realize, even in the natural remedy world we are against false claims just as much as there are some good doctors who are against false claims and products in their field. The dead giveaway? British MP & parliament = Codex Alimentarius. The bulls**t proposal to reduce access to natural remedies supposedly for EU citizen safety...when really everything those bastards are doing are becoming more and more like what you seen in the movies "1984" and "V for Vendetta", stop acting like f**king sheep people!!
@LukeBeaumont - I think you were shooting for tricyclics and MAO Inhibitors having bad side effects and the SSRI's being "quite good in most aspects". I'm not claiming to be a doctor. But going back to my original post, I think Doctors have been taught to prescribe pills as a first line therapy, and they do so without considering side effects and withdrawal effects of the drugs they prescribe. Pills should be first line only when depression us severe enough to cause someone to be a danger to themselves or to others. They shouldn't be dispensed because your dog "Fluffy" died yesterday and you're a little bummed out about it.
