Annette Tuffs 1 Heidelberg A recent spate of demands in the United Kingdom that homoeopathic treatments no longer be provided on the NHS has prompted a debate in Germany about the place of homoeopathy in its health service. Despite the fact that some German pharmacology experts would like to see public health insurers cease paying for it, the German Medical Association (Bundesärztekammer) has come out in favour of keeping its reimbursement. The association’s president, Jörg-Dietrich Hoppe, has defended homoeopathic treatment in an official statement. He said that despite the lack of scientific evidence for its effectiveness homoeopathy was an important part of medicine. It was especially effective in treating travel sickness and general malaise but also in preventing disease, he said.

Una vittoria de Il Tempo: l'Aifa pubblica le regole che faranno ripartire la ricerca. Gli italiani che hanno scelto preparati non convenzionali sono 11 milioni.
Sono due anni che Il Tempo si batte per permettere alla ricerca nel mondo dell'omeopatia di riprendere il suo cammino. Infatti, fino a pochi giorni fa non era possibile immettere sul mercato nuovi farmaci appartenenti a quella nota come la medicina non convenzionale. A più riprese abbiamo cercato di raccontarvi la situazione e oggi vi diamo conto di un primo successo attraverso le parole del direttore generale dell'Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco, Guido Rasi, e di quelle del presidente di Omeoimprese, Fausto Panni.
Deborah Cohen 1 Brighton Homoeopathic hospitals and remedies should not be funded on the NHS, given the absence of valid scientific evidence of benefit, voted representatives at the BMA’s annual conference in Brighton this week. They also voted that no UK training post should include a placement in homoeopathy and that pharmacists should remove homoeopathic remedies from their shelves indicating they are drugs: they should place them on shelves clearly labelled "placebos." About 50 pro-homoeopathy protestors gathered outside the Brighton conference centre to urge representatives to support the provision of homoeopathy on the NHS. Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the BMA, also said that members had written in to say that debating homoeopathy was outside the remit of the BMA and that it would threaten their livelihood. In a debate at the BMA junior doctors’ conference in May one delegate, Tom Dolphin, had caused controversy by likening homoeopathy to witchcraft. He then apologised to witches, who were "apparently offended by the association with homoeopathy."
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. It has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years. According to the philosophy of traditional acupuncture, energy circulates in ’meridians’ located throughout the body. When something occurs to cause this meridian energy circulation to be blocked, pain or ill health will result. The way to restore energy circulation, health, and balance, is to stimulate the appropriate combination of the estimated 400 traditional meridian acupuncture points in the body, generally by using fine stainless steel needles. In some cases a small electrical impulse is added to the needles.
Research suggests that acupuncture may work by stimulating the nervous system to release neurotransmitters involved in pain-suppressing mechanisms or by suppressing the nervous system pathways involved in the sensory and affective components of pain.
Given that it is a relatively safe treatment, the question of whether or not acupuncture is an effective healthcare treatment therefore is highly relevant. Cochrane Review Groups have been preparing Cochrane Reviews that assess the efficacy of acupuncture for different health questions. The Cochrane Complementary Medicine (CAM) Field supports and promotes the production of Cochrane Reviews of acupuncture, and has helped prepare this Special Collection. There are over 25 published Cochrane Reviews, as shown below, and over 30 reviews in development.
