Genuine oil, from real snakes

Sense About Science are collecting signatures against new UK regulations that allow homeopathic products to make medical claims without any evidence of their efficacy.

You may want to sign up if you agree with the following:

Evidence-based medicine has been a major public gain of the twentieth century

Homeopathy is not evidence-based medicine

The new regulations on homeopathic products compromise standards of evidence and clear labelling

The policy change is damaging to patients' best interests

Evidence-based medicine is essential to public health; the growth of the homeopathic industry does not contribute to public health

Rules for the regulation of medicines should not allow homeopathic products to make unsubstantiated health claims

The full statement of support for evidence-based medicine is available here (pdf).
