Critics call for review of homeopathic doctors board

PHOENIX Critics are calling for an audit of the Arizona Board of
Homeopathic Medical Examiners which hasn't been audited for 20 years.
An Arizona Republic review shows homeopathic physicians rarely face
sanctions from the board _ even in instances when prescribed remedies
caused serious harm or, in one case, death.
Over the past five years, the board has licensed four doctors convicted of
felonies in other states and six others who lost their licenses or were
disciplined elsewhere.
Some homeopathic physicians and former board members say there's a lack of
proper regulation.
The chairwoman of the state's Senate Health Committee has called for an
audit of the board before it faces a ten-year "sunset review" in 2006. The
review will determine whether the board will continue, be disbanded, or
face reforms.
Homeopathy medicine uses diluted amounts of substances to treat symptoms as
an alternative to traditional medicine.
