Homeoquackery in the UK
I couldn't believe my eyes when i read about a conference convened by homeoquacks to exchange more ways of defrauding the public.
Among some of highlights according to Nick Cohen's column, include chralatans who claim their expensive water can treat AIDS. What disgusts me about these pseudo scientists is the fact that they dispense their quackery at taxpayers expense (London Homeoquackery hospital) and that they are allowed to peddle their bullshit in the beautiful continent. We have heard of quacks claiming they can treat malaria and now HIV/AIDS?
This madness has got to stop. Homeoquackery fails when subjected to rigorous scientific scrutiny i.e. double blind trials which ALL medicines must undergo.
Why is the gov't wasting time with these quacks? Why are they allowed to operate in poor countries and defraud the public about their so called cures?
Harry van der Zee, co-founder of the Amma Resonance Healing Foundation, will say that ‘in just a few days or weeks’ African Aids patients he treated became ’symptom-free and able to return to their jobs and schools or to look after their children again’. All in all, the Society of Homeopaths promises to provide ‘fascinating insights’ for World Aids Day.
Is it any wonder that many people think homeoquackery is the last refuge for conmen with non scientific backgrounds?
