Nonsense on Stilts

Chemists should be forced to mark 'nonsense' homeopathic remedies as 'placebos' to stop customers being misled

Favorite line-
Dr Tom Dolphin, from the BMA's junior doctors committee, said that he had previously described homeopathy as witchcraft but now wanted to apologise to witches for making the link.

I thought I had found an advantage to the US healthcare system over Britain's NHS, that at least my tax dollars weren't being used so some person could get free quack medicine.  Then I stumbled onto the NCCAM, a department of the National Institutes of Health, spending $132 million on quackery, far surpassing Britain's £4 million.
