NHMRC homeopathy review

The National Health and Medical Research Council has today released its draft information paper, Evidence on the effectiveness of homeopathy for treating health conditions.  It summarises the findings of an assessment of homeopathy which included an overview of published systematic reviews, evaluation of information provided by homeopathy interest groups and the public, and consideration of clinical practice guidelines and government reports on homeopathy published in other countries. Their overall finding was "NHMRC concludes that the assessment of the evidence from research in humans does not show that homeopathy is effective for treating the range of health conditions considered."

An assessment of the paper and discussion of the issues can be found in an article by Ian Musgrave from the University of Adelaide in The Conversation.  No evidence homeopathy is effective.
