Default Concern over HIV homeopathy role

Well, since HIV has never been proven to 'cause' AIDS, I too don't support
this
http://www.wellwithin1.com/AIDS.htm

But this is not for the same reason.

"refusal to accept scientific knowledge about the condition. "
and there is NO scientific truth about AIDS out there yet.

Of course there should be open debate.........................

Concern over HIV homeopathy role

The Society of Homeopaths said it wanted to promote an open debate
Doctors and health charities have expressed concern about a conference
which will examine the role of homeopathy in treating HIV.
The event includes discussion of what have been described as "healing
remedies" for HIV and AIDS.

One of the speakers believes that the treatment, involving flower essences,
can be used to halt the AIDS epidemic.

But the event, which marks World AIDS Day, has been criticised by doctors
who say the treatment is not effective.

About 80 homeopaths and workers from HIV projects are gathering for the
workshop in south London today.

'Ineffective'

It will include discussion about a remedy for HIV and AIDS which is said to
have been used in Africa for five years.

BBC health correspondent, Jane Dreaper explained: "The principle behind
homeopathy is that an ailment can be cured by small quantities of
substances that produce the same symptoms but some doctors say it's
ineffective."

Medical charity, HealthWatch, has criticised the event.

Its chairman said the number of AIDS cases in Africa had been exacerbated
by a refusal to accept scientific knowledge about the condition.

The Terrence Higgins Trust, which campaigns on HIV issues, said homeopathic
remedies alone could not reduce the activity of the virus, nor halt the
onset of AIDS.

The Society of Homeopaths, which is organising the event, said it wanted to
promote a constructive and open debate but it was not offering a cure.
