The National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia’s top medical research body, has concluded that “there are no health conditions for which there is reliable evidence that homeopathy is effective.” Furthermore, the report asserts, “people who choose homeopathy may put their health at risk if they reject or delay treatments.” Homeopaths contend that illness-causing substances can, when diluted or in smaller doses, treat sick people. The Australian medical body hopes the report will cause insurance companies to stop covering homeopathic treatments.
