		<description><![CDATA[Many websites of homeopaths are changing. Some as a direct result of being contacted by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and some, no doubt, because, now they are aware of the ASA&#8217;s rules, want to be responsible and abide by them. I&#8217;ve been watching several websites change over recent months: some delete a few words here and there; some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s bad enough when homeopaths take good money from people, claiming they can cure their colds or clear up their eczema with sugar pills. It&#8217;s another thing entirely to claim to prevent or treat serious diseases with identical sugar pills. But this is precisely what the BBC&#8217;s Newsnight programme discovered homeopaths were doing. Broadcast in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of doctors out there, but it can be difficult to know which are properly qualified and registered medical practitioners and who are, well, just quacks. It&#8217;s not really that much of a problem for most of us. If we&#8217;re feeling unwell, we make an appointment with our GP. If there is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While some of us were composing our considered responses to the MHRA&#8217;s consultation on homeopathy, supporters of the magic sugar pills panicked and urged friends and homeopaths to flood the MHRA with their ill-considered responses. This orchestrated campaign was leaked last night and gave us all a good laugh. It was obvious the writer of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s what all homeopathic &#8216;medicines&#8217; should say on their labels because that is precisely what they contain: no active ingredients. Saying anything different is misleading the public. For various unfathomable reasons, we have the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regulating a non-medicine and a non-healthcare product. They don&#8217;t really even regulate homeopathic products. [...]]]></description>

I just liked the rich, creamy taste. Yes, I used to buy it. On Twitter yesterday, @GhostOMichael, a follower of @RhysMorgan, tweeted a link to a [...]]]></description>

But there are sick people out there needing healed. But this isn&#8217;t just any doctor. They want a specialty doctor. A specialty doctor in homeopathy, no less. They describe the job thus (cached): NHS Tayside [...]]]></description>

I duly sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the North West London Hospitals NHS Trust. I wanted to get a comprehensive understanding of what AltMed therapies they indulged in.

		<description><![CDATA[The dichotomy must tear some homeopaths apart. They eschew conventional medicine — particularly the link to the ruthless and profit-mongering Big Pharma with all their toxic concoctions — yet they crave the respectability, fame and fortune of mainstream medicine. And in their quest, they seem to have no scruples and even mimic their enemies. But then [...]]]></description>
