Indian Govt takes on Lancet Report.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Incensed by the Lancet Report signalling the " End of Homeopathy " , the Govt of

India has declared it will supply the Lancet magazine with all data required to

show that homeopathy really works. It has said that homeopathy has been

extremely popular in India ever since Dr J M Hoenigberger arrived in 1839 to

treat Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab, curing him of paralysis of vocal chords

and oedema.

 

Dr Hoenigberger then settled at Calcutta (now Kolkata) for a long time before

returning to Germany. Calcutta is supposed to be a bastion of Homeopathy in

India as eminent public figures studied the science, translated Hahnemann's

works, wrote about their own findings and even discovered new drugs.

 

The homeopathic physicians of India have equally condemned the report citing

statistics about the growing popularity of homeopathy in India.

 

Dr Ramadoss, the Union Health Minister, and a physician himself, said that in

today's scenario, even modern doctors were not averse to refer their patients to

homeopathy. A report said that 87% of the physicians in India believed that

homeopathy works.

 

The homeopath's in India were equivocal in pointing out that it was the growing

popularity of homeopathy that had led the drug industry to sponsor the unethical

and flawed report. They said it was surprised that Lancet, which had previously

published reports that homeopathy works, would do a turnaround and declare the

" end of homeopathy " . They said homeopathy was in the threshold of a new dawn.

 

Only the Times of India in India has published the Lancet Report. And now today

it has published the statement of Dr Ramadoss prominently thus atoning for its

earlier sins. Homeopathy has a very large following in India and has been

officially recognised since 1937.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.

I am pleasantly surprised that a Govt. has come into

action!!!

Generally governments don't act. Anyway, supplying

data will not help. Lancet is an academic journal of

medical science. The correct reply to it would be to

conduct a double blind or intra-subject well designed

experiments on homoeopathy and send the data with

article for possible publication in the Lancet. If the

Lancet declines to publish, then such a study can be

published elsewhere but in a blind refereed scientific

journal only.

 

Homeopathy received a set back when the French

researchers could not prove their claim that water

" remembers " the homeo medicine even after dilution.

But recently homeo has received a big boost when three

independent research teams came up with the finding

that indeed the water " remembers " .
