Crackdown on complementary medicine

Complementary and alternative medicines are to be regulated more
tightly under government plans announced today. Extra funding of
£900,000 has been made available to develop new regulatory

regulatory development process. To start with, this will be a
voluntary self-regulation scheme and is likely to cover
practitioners of homeopathy, aromatherapy and reflexology.

popular acclaim, by Jeanette Winterson, for her excellent plan
to send homeopathic remedies to treat HIV in Botswana.
