>>The British Medical Journal, May 1997, Volume 314, page 1574 stated that
>>the London health authority decided to stop payment for homeopathic
>>treatment because there "is not enough evidence to support its use."
>>More than 500 patients a year were referred for homeophathic

Sshhhtupendo. La cuestión es: ¿qué pasará, a continuación, con los
tratamientos de acupuntura que, aunque sea por el momento, tampoco son
"evidence-based"?

Spokesperson for the Royal
>>Homoeopathic Hospital stated that "We should not have to justify
>>ourselves more than conventional medicine.  Only 50% of conventional
>>medicine is evidence based."

A lo cual se puede contestar diciendo que el 100% de la Medicina Basada en
la Evidencia (la única que se debería practicar) es "evidence-based" (por
definición :-DDDD ).

Manolo.

P.D.: ¡Pero habráse visto el peazo cabestro del portavoz homeopático ése! O
sea, que son las deficiencias y los malos protocolos de la "convencional" lo
que justifica la Maguficina. La homeopatía es "deficience-based medicine",
por consiguiente.
