Contents of supressed report revealed…

I am always interested in all form of research on complementary therapies and a report that is supressed piques my interest even more because it makes me wonder what is says.

Way back in 2012, Australia’s National Health & Medical Research Council completed a report based on 55 studies into the effectiveness of homeopathy to treat

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Otitis media (middle ear infection)
  • After effects of cancer treatments

In 2012 the report was blocked from being published.  A campaign that attracted more than 75,000 signatories and numerous Freedom of Information requests including from the Australian Senate finally had an impact and the report has been published.

So, what did such a controversial report say?   It found “encouraging evidence” that homeopathy was an effective treatment for:

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Otitis media
  • Postoperative ileus (blocked intestine)
  • Colds
  • After effects of cancer treatments including chemotherapy
