Response to the final NH&MRC report in March 2015

Similia Vol 27 No 1 – June 2015

Author: Dr Isaac Golden

Introduction

The National Health & Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) released its final report into homeopathy on 11 March 2015. Consistent with the previously  released 2014 draft report, the final 2015 report stated: ‘Based on the assessment of the evidence of effectiveness of homeopathy, NHMRC concludes  that there are no health conditions for which there is reliable evidence that homeopathy is effective’.

It is expected that the NH&MRC report will be used to attempt to limit the use of homeopathy in Australia, and to persuade private health insurers to  no longer cover homeopathy. For example, ‘Professor Paul Glasziou, chair of the NHMRC Homeopathy Working Committee … said at the moment the NHMRC would discourage people from using homeopathy for any health condition’.

It is important that Australian practitioners are able to simply and factually respond to this report when asked by patients and others. The following  analysis provides facts and talking points for practitioners.
