The World Health Organization's warn about homeopathy

The World Health Organization has warned that those with diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis, or infected with the HIV virus which causes the disease AIDS, shouldn't use of homeopathy for the treatment. The World Health Organization's warn is in response to those researchers and young doctors who fear that increasing the use of homeopathy in developing countries, may endanger the patients' lives. The doctors who are British and African, in June wrote a letter to the World Health Organization and had asked this institution to condemn the use of homeopathy in the treatment of diseases such as tuberculosis, diarrhea, babies, influenza, malaria and the HIV infection. In this letter, they also said homeopathy has no cure in the prevention of these diseases and may result in patient's mortality. Doctor Robert Hagan, a researcher at the University of St Andrews, which is one of the authors of the letter said: "Governments around the world should become familiar with the dangers of using the homeopathy for diseases that threaten the patient's life. We hope that the World Health Organization's warn against homeopathy and the position of this institute about homeopathy causes to be prohibiting the resort to some treatment that could be potentially disastrous". A spokesman for the health of children and adolescents in WHO says: "We have not achieved any reason today about homeopathic usefulness and effectiveness of this therapy method. Homeopathy has no role in the prevention and treatment of diarrhea and is contrary to scientific recipes and our advice for treat of diarrhea". AIDS experts at the World Health Organization also say that homeopathy has no place in the treatment of tuberculosis.
