001. at arstechnica.com, Beth Mole reports in "Homeopathic Detox: Med School Quietly Flushes Quack Science After Criticism" (2017-09-27):
"[at] University of California, Irvine the clinical arm of the institution quietly flushed homeopathy from its online list of medical services [...] critic Britt Marie Hermes noted that UCI 'naturopath and acupuncturist' Dayna Kowata still notes homeopathy as her 'preferred mode of treatment'
on her UCI webpage' [...] the school still boasts a lengthy menu of other questionable therapies, such as detoxification [...] and cupping [...] homeopathy is based on the idea that 'like cures like' [...] practitioners rely on the scientifically implausible idea that extremely diluted doses [...] can be effective, often diluting to the point where there is no active ingredient left [...] scientists and health experts have repeatedly denounced homeopathy as quackery and noted that any reported benefits are down to nothing more than the placebo effect [...]";
and, quite fringely, organized North American naturopathy quite falsely calls homeopathy "health science" and "clinical science."
