After having a broad review of all the homeopathic studies and research, the significant Australian medical research body suggested that such is an ineffective way of treatment.
According to homeopaths, these illness-causing substances mixed with water can keep the memory of the original substance and can treat the unhealthy people within minute doses. These claims were, however, proven wrong by many researchers.
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) reviewed about 225 papers and concluded the ineffectiveness of homeopathy. According to the NHMRC report, "the health of people choosing Homeopathy can be vulnerable to serious risks if there are delays in treatments".
To prevent any bias, a self-governing firm also reviewed the same studies and research as well as evaluated all pieces of evidence.
Professor Paul Glasziou, the chairperson of NHMRC, said, "Many people will consider these findings as the conspiracy against Homeopathy, however, we believe that many other plausible people will reconsider its use and sell."
Another report found that there exist many studies in favor of the effectiveness of homeopathy, but their authenticity and design have many flaws. A myriad of reports propose the sugar pills as fruitless.
A medical drug policy expert, Dr. Ken Harvey, said, "Homeopathy courses are offered for thousands of dollars in Private institutes". He further said that he hoped students would rethink their decisions.
On the contrary, the TESQA spokesperson said that the courses in homeopathy are well accredited and would not be re-assessed after NHMRC's findings. He said that the course would only be reassessed during its renewal period.
