The Council of European Academies of Sciences issued a statement in which it recognized homeopathy as unscientific and harmful to patients.
The Council of European Academies of Sciences (EASAC) collected on research data of homeopathic remedies and techniques and I came to the conclusion that homeopathy - it is not medicine and not a science. Objective evidence that homeopathy works there. All studies that indicate its effectiveness or completed with errors or talk about the placebo effect of the treatment.
Declaration EASACHomeopathy works on the implausible principles that do not conform to the scientific provisions and the effectiveness of homeopathy is a placebo effect.
Homeopathy - a branch of alternative medicine based on the use of ultra-low doses of substances. To make a homeopathic medicine, the active substance is diluted to such an extent that the final solution does not remain any molecules of the substance. It is believed that in this case the drug works at the expense of the memory of water.
Despite the fact that homeopathic medicines are no active ingredients, they still can hurt. Firstly, the content of active substances not controlled in homeopathy. Sometimes it happens that some of the patients received a dose of poison. Second, the patients do not have accurate and complete information about the unscientific nature of homeopathy. Therefore, many are abandoning traditional treatments, not knowing that the effectiveness of diluted drugs is zero. This can cause serious damage to health.
Declaration EASACBecause of homeopathy nevovremya patient can apply to the appropriate treatment with proven efficacy. The harm is compounded by the fact that the propagation of homeopathy accepted denigrate classical medicine.
Homeopathic remedies should not be labeled as drugs and health services should not purchase and pay for the treatment of homeopathy. Council of Academies of Sciences mentions veterinary homeopathy: animal balloons memory of water will not help either.
Declaration EASACThere are not two kinds of medicine: traditional and alternative. There is only the medicine that has been tested, and the one that failed.
For homeopathy should meet the same standards as any other treatments. Therefore EASAC recommends indicate on the packaging of homeopathic medicines and their active ingredients in the drug content in the same format as in the conventional means (ie, in milligrams, not in breeding) and do not promote homeopathy without a reliable and reproducible evidence efficiency.
By the way, Russian Academy of Sciences in February 2017 announced homeopathy pseudoscience. We hope that the recommendations will heed scientists. In the meantime, we still advertise magic pill, it is advisable to read parsing Layfhakera that homeopathy is and why it can not work.
