Are you aware of the recent meta-study showing homeopathy is ineffective for any health condition?

Update:

See http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2015/3/11/au...

“People who choose homeopathy may put their health at risk if they reject or delay treatments for which there is good evidence for safety and effectiveness,” the authors of the report added.

For some health conditions, a review of the studies showed that homeopathy was no more effective than a placebo, the report said.

    I remember watching a documentary about homeopathy and how there are negligible amounts of active ingredients in them, it is essentially an expensive placebo.

    Are you aware of the entire history of homeopathy proving exactly that right under your nose?

    what a shock. what could possibly motivate the mega wealthy pill pushing pharma medical pseudoscience establishment to say a rival form of health care is ineffective? boggles the puny brainwashed medical mind, doesn't it?

    They were using science in that study and homeopathy is not science-based, so the study is irrelevant.
