Medics to WHO: Condemn Homeopathy for serious illnesses…

June 02, 2009 By: DancingSamurai Category: Links

BoingBoing is publicizing an open letter to the WHO, asking the organization to officially condemn the use of homeopathy to treat serious diseases:

In a letter to the World Health Organisation today, early career medics and researchers are calling for the body to issue a clear international communication about the inappropriate use of homeopathy for five serious diseases. They say they are frustrated with the continued promotion of homeopathy as a preventative or treatment for HIV, TB, malaria, influenza and infant diarrhoea.
