This opinion from AllAfrica.com argues the need for South Africa to limit state subsidies for complementary medicine.
From the article:
So if the very premise of homeopathy is nonsensical and there is no evidence of efficacy beyond a placebo effect, why is homeopathy accorded recognition by health authorities?
In an era of "evidence-based medicine" and limited resources, why do we have government-subsidized schools of homeopathy at our health science faculties?
The article also mentions the still available $1 million prize available from the famous American magician-turned-skeptic James Randi to anyone who could show an effect using homeopathic medications under controlled conditions.
