“T&CM is an important and often underestimated part of health care. T&CM is found in almost every country in the world and the demand for its services is increasing. TM, of proven quality, safety, and efficacy, contributes to the goal of ensuring that all people have access to care. Many countries now recognize the need to develop a cohesive and integrative approach to health care that allows governments, health care practitioners and, most importantly, those who use health care services, to access T&CM in a safe, respectful, cost-efficient and effective manner”.
Attacks on Homeopathy in Australia NHMRC DRAFT INFORMATION PAPER: EVIDENCE ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HOMEOPATHY FOR TREATING HEALTH CONDITIONS [APRIL 2014]
The NH&MRC began by making the following exclusions of evidence from its analysis: • Evidence of “whether homeopathy is good for general health.” • “Evidence for whether or not homeopathy is effective for preventing health conditions”. • Any evidence examining the economic cost-benefits of homeopathy. • Evidence supporting homeopathy that was not derived from “prospective, controlled studies”. • Evidence examining the safety and quality of homeopathy.
It is proposed that the NH&MRC report fails four tests: • The common sense test • The reasonable question test. • The appropriate methodology test • The freedom from bias test
