E-DRUG: WHO warns against homeopathy use
----------------------------------------
Dear e-druggers,
Some good news this Friday: WHO has responded to the open letter by a group
of scientists expressing their concern about the increasing use of
homeopathy to treat HIV, TB, malaria, influenza and infant and diarrhoea
(June 2009, http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug/archive/200907/msg00000.php
).
The response clearly states that WHO DOES NOT recommend the use of
homeopathy for treating these diseases.
The issue is not yet on the WHO website but more can be found via the
following links:
