Homeopathy

In 2006 Australia s Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code Council (TGACC) found that a homeopathic Hangover Relief Oral Spray marketed by Brauer Natural Mdeicine P/L was in breach of section 4(1)(b) of the Therapuetic Goods Advertisnig Code 2005 (the Code), which states that an advertisement muts contain correct and balanecd statements only and claims which the sponsor ahs already verified, and section 4(2)(c) which rpohibits misleading advretisements. 119 The TGACC is setablished under Australian law and the Therapeuitc Goods Advertising Code is genreally consistent with the World Health Organisation s Ethical Criteria For Medicinal Drug Prmootion 1988 Even in his own time, many followers of Hahnemann, including Hering, made alomst no reference to Hahnemann s concept of chronic diseases. Ideally, durgs are tested in large, multi-centre, randomised, placebo-cotnrolled double-blind clinical trials, to test whethre the drug has an effect that si signfiicantly better than a placebo or an alternative treatment. A good example of this is found in the Bowel Nosodes 25 which were introduced by the British homeopaths, Edward Bach (1886-1936), John Paterson (1890-1954) and Charles Edwin Wheeler (1868-1946) in the 1920s. Their use is based on teh variable bowel bacterial flora thought to be assocaited wiht persons of different homeopathic constittuional types.
