Homeopathy began in England in the 1830s. Dr. Quinn founded the first homeopathic practice in the UK. Homeopathy has become widely accepted in the UK with a steady advancement among UK individuals. The UK National Health Care Systems (NHS) compensates patients for their homeopathy costs.
Homeopathy has enjoyed usage by the upper class of English society. Celebrities such as Paul McCartney and Catherine Zeta Jones are ardent supporters of homeopathy. The royal family have been given homeopathic medicine for centuries. However, homeopathic skeptics point to no reproducible trials that homeopathy does not work.
Prominent doctors in the UK are trying to shut down homeopathic hospitals in the UK. Doctors saying there is no evidence for homeopathy. Physicians site many studies showing homeopathy medicine works no better than a sugar pills. Leading doctors are advising general practitioners not to pass out referral slips for homeopathy. Homeopathic hospitals must shutdown if they do not receive an adequate number of referral slips.
Tunbridge homeopathic hospital has already scheduled to close due to lack of funding and referrals. Some other hospitals are also facing cuts by the NHS. They are getting less referrals than in the past. The critics claim that the NHS has limited funds that should not be used on unproven treatments such as homeopathy.
Skeptics say they have proven trials that show homeopathy is not effective. They point to Lancet trials that show homeopathy does not work on a large scale. Lancet trials do seem to have issues with researchers making assumptions that homeopathy does not work even before starting these trials. These bias makes much of the research skewed and unreliable. Studies in homeopathy have showed some promise and some failure. Some studies show homeopathy not to work. Other trials demonstrate homeopathy works better than a placebo. BBC has conducted some research with homeopathic dilutions. There research showed no difference between water and homeopathic dilutions. Skeptics claim that homeopathy in not feasible due to the high amount of dilutions being used. Homeopathy dilutions of 24X or 12C have no substance other than water.
The homeopathy users of the homeopathic hospitals seems to be quite satisfied with their treatments. Even with all the lack of funding from the NHS, fewer doctors writing referrals and the bad media press, homeopathy in England still seems to be growing. The public comes in growing numbers to this type of alternative medicine. In 2007, the UK market is estimated to be worth 38 million pounds. In 2012, the market is going to reach 46 million pounds. - 14130
