The Ministry of Health in England has 

just announced that the National 

Health System (NHS) may ban 

homeopathic treatments from a 

General Physician’s prescription due to 

the lack of scientific evidence in its 

effectiveness. The time-old belief in 

the effects of placebo within its 

treatment is also a cause of debate 

and complaints from many people 

against it. 

Homeopathy derives most of its 

treatment in the belief that the body 

can help itself with the assistance of 

highly diluted substances which is 

highly controversial since analysts say 

there is no evidence that works.

Experts suspect, however, that this 

issue is England’s response to the 

conflict between Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) and 

homeopathic practice in the United 

States. It is possible, as so many 

claims that England is being 

cautious of its objective on the 

critical issue since complaints can 

target this rich nation. 

NHS has denied this, of course, 

claiming that ‘With rising health 

demands, we have a duty to make sure 

we spend NHS funds on the most 

effective treatments”, as quoted from 

England’s Chief Medical officer, 

Professor Dame Sally Davies. 

There are several NHS homeopathic 

hospitals and some GP practices 

also offer homeopathic treatment.

In a private interview, authorities 

have ensured The Peterson Group, one of 

the leading sources of information on 

complementary, alternative and 

integrative medicines that a 

consultation on whether homeopathy 

should continue to be prescribed is 

expected to take place next year. About 

£4 million in total is thought to be 

spent on NHS homeopathy.

The battle of whether homeopathy 

is legitimate or fraudulent still 

continues.

Many were surprised with the review 

decision of NHS as England, among 

other European countries have been 

openly embracing homeopathy as one of 

their main trusted treatments aside 

from conventional medicine. They have 

even integrated this practice to what 

Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, 

Malaysia have influenced in alternative 

medicine.
