Peter Frost Schwacks Homeopathy at Morning Star

here, some homeopathy criticism by way of general preponderance:

001. at morningstaronline.co.uk, Peter Frost writes in "Ban the Quack Medics Who Claim to Cure Autism" (2019-11-08):

"six months ago I wrote a column for this newspaper attacking the quack medicine called homeopathy. Now that particular quack medicine is back in the headlines. Britain’s top homeopath, Linda Wicks, chair of the Society of Homeopaths, is facing calls to resign after being caught out spreading dangerous anti-vaccine propaganda on social media [...who] shared a series of petitions which falsely claimed that childhood vaccinations are unsafe, and called for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency — a government quango which licences vaccines — to be disbanded [...]";

oh really.  And it's then interesting when homeopaths say 'it works like a vaccine.'

"two other members of the society’s board of directors are also under pressure to quit, after media revelations that they too had lobbied against childhood vaccinations [...]";

in this day and age...

"homeopathic cures funded by the NHS were banned completely in 2017 [...] many homeopathic so-called doctors are offering to cure autism [...] this week Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, launched an outspoken attack on the homeopathy industry, accusing some practitioners of spreading toxic 'misinformation' about vaccines [...he] wrote to the Professional Standards Authority, a medical watchdog, urging it to delist the Society of Homeopaths (SoH) from its register of recognized organizations [...and stated] 'anything that gives homeopathy a veneer of credibility risks chancers being able to con more people into parting with their hard-earned cash in return for bogus treatments which at best do nothing, and at worst can be potentially dangerous [...] homeopathy is no replacement for rigorously tried and tested medical treatments delivered or prescribed by properly qualified professionals' [...and] pointed out that both the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice), take the position that homeopathic remedies are not scientifically valid [...]";

excellent.

"a 2010 House of Commons science and technology committee report [...] said that the principles on which homeopathy is based are 'scientifically implausible' and that in medical trials homeopathic remedies perform no better than placebos or dummy treatment [...] the ideas that underpin homeopathy aren’t accepted by any branch of mainstream science, and aren’t consistent with long-accepted principles on the way the physical world works [...]";

and that's a very nice preponderance summary.
