The FTC recently adopted a new policy on homeopathic remedies. The makers of such products will have to provide reliable evidence for any health claims, if they want to sell them in American markets. This means that many homeopathic products could be finished in U.S. stores, because there is essentially no peer-reviewed evidence that homeopathy provides any medical benefit. In fact, Australia's governing medical body recently instructed doctors to stop prescribing homeopathic products, and has instructed pharmacies to stop selling them. So why is homeopathy so popular? Our guests will talk about homeopathy versus actual medicine, and how the science/medical community can do a more effective job communicating with the general public. Our guests: Dr. Steve Cook Dr. Elizabeth Murray
