There was also a jokey comment by John Crace on page 9 of The Guardian yesterday “May Fails the grammar School test ..”

“You might as well dismantle the NHS and replace it with homeopathy on the grounds that the Health Secretary had once got rid of a headache by taking some nux vomica.”

Perhaps it is time to highlight how biased medical research really is.
Ben Goldacre, see below spells it out.

.... and there are many TED talks from MD that are talking about it too

Ben Goldacre: What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe

When a new drug gets tested, the results of the trials should be published for the rest of the medical world -- ...

interesting/good to see him also attack the fraud of medicine.

I think that this is the best suggestion ever!

The skeptics attach homeopathy for not being evidence based and scientific.
Goldacres is really telling us that because how medical data is fudged, it is neither biased nor scientific, so it goes to show that the skeptics, once again, don't know what they are talking about
It may be an idea to let them know. I usually ignore attacks as I prefer to spend my energies on being the best homeopath I can be.
Kind regards
Lucy
