Stop knocking homeopathy

-

Having used homeopathy for various ailments for many years – including to aid the completely natural birth of my second son – I can vouch for the fact that it works. I obviously can’t say it cures every condition, but I take umbrage with the constant claims that there’s NO evidence that it’s effective.

Simon Stevens, head of NHS England, for example, reckons it’s “at best a placebo and a misuse of scarce NHS funds”.

Only £4.7million is spent on homeopathi­c remedies. The annual NHS drug spend is a massive £16billion.

Ten million needless antibiotic prescripti­ons are written every year – a large-scale “misuse of scarce NHS funds”, if ever there was one.
