    Medicines regulator grants first ever licence to homeopathic remedy

    The UK medicines regulator has granted its first licence to a homeopathic remedy under controversial new rules allowing complementary therapies to make medicinal claims.

    The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted an arnica homeopathic product a licence for the relief of sprains or bruising.

    Experts say that it contains zero active ingredients and condemned the decision as a “cynical mockery of evidence-based medicine”.

      Well you don't seem very evidence based when arguing against climate change so why expect other people to be?

        I have used arnica for bruising and can categorically state that it did not lessen the effect of the bruise nor speed up the healing of it.

        What a load of rubbish.

        (a bruise will take 14 days to clear, with or without arnica...)

          Arnica is not a homeopathic remedy though, is it?

            Good plan B for benched contractors as long as your home has running water and a few herbs in the garden. Oh forget the herbs, you don't really need them anyway.

              But it is the reason for the original post...

                Dilute your piss in a small, expensively labeled bottle - just as much use and easily as profitable.

                  Homoeopathy is mostly rubbish, but then again isn't most of what GP's dispense of a similar nature? Isn't there clinical proof that placebo's work? 99.9 times out of a hundred the body repairs itself, with a bit of outside help.
