WHO: Safety issues in the preparation of homeopathic medicines
The World Health Organization has just published "Safety issues in the preparation of homeopathic medicines". It is a technical document as a response to  requests and recommendations made by relevant World Health Assembly resolutions, by Member States, as well as international conferences of drug regulatory authorities, and is a part of the implementation of the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy and the WHO Medicines Strategy.

WHO states that homeopathy is used worldwide, but that the national regulatory framework and the place of homeopathy within the health care system differ from country to country.

The document aims to provide guidance to Member States on technical aspects of the production and manufacture of homeopathic medicines that potentially have implications for their safety. This is of relevance for establishing national quality standards and specifications for homeopathic medicines, as well as for controlling their quality. The document does not address issues of efficacy or clinical utilization.

The terms used in this document are defined and annexed as a reference.

Australian Homeopathy Association says British parliamentary report was biased
Homoeopathy is a natural therapy where an active ingredient is diluted again and again until there is very little of the original substance left. It originated in Germany in the 1700s, and is widely used in Britain and some parts of Europe, with a growing following in Australia.

British MP and United Kingdom science and technology committee member, Phil Willis, says homeopathic products are not medicines and should no longer be licensed by the British National Health Service (NHS).

"This is a fundamental point of principle as to whether we are actually hoodwinking individual patients, and they are being given a treatment that the NHS knows does not work," he said.  And the report says the "existing scientific literature shows no good evidence of the efficacy of homeopathy and further clinical trials are not justified". But the Australian Homeopathy Association's Michelle Hookham says the committee was biased and only considered one kind of scientific evidence.

"They also disregarded a lot of the studies that have been done where homeopathy came out very well, including studies of thousands of people in hospitals," she said.

"They were looking at randomised clinical trials and that is not a good way to measure homeopathy, as it is individualised medicine." In Australia, homeopathy is not covered on Medicare, but most health funds reimburse their members for visits to registered homoeopathic practitioners.

"That shows you have met the government-endorsed competency standards and that you have indemnity and first aid and all those other requirements," Ms Hookham said.
The health insurance industry says it will continue to fund homeopathy and it is up to individual funds to decide what treatments they subsidise.

Homeopaths can’t use title ‘Dr’: NA body Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Standing Committee on Health recommended on Saturday that homeopaths should not be allowed to write doctor with their names.

The Standing Committee advised the Health Ministry to issue a circular in this regard. The Committee’s meeting, chaired by Dr Nadeem Ihsaan observed that if  ‘tabeeb’ and ‘hukama’ do not write doctor with their names, the homeopaths should also do the same. Parliamentary Health Secretary Dr Mahreen Razaque Bhutto said ‘tabeeb’ and ‘hukama’ do not qualify to be called doctors and the meeting agreed that homeopaths also fall in the same category.

The Committee chairman demanded the report of a child Shehar Bano’s death due to alleged doctors’ negligence at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) should be submitted to  the committee. The meeting also approved the ‘2008 Tibb-e-Unani, Ayurvedic, Homoeopathic, Herbal and other Non- Allopathic Medicine Bill’.

Every patient should have the right to seek Homeopathy - UK Life Insurance Companies
End of NHS funded homeopathy could leave some UK residents with no other choice but to seek private medical insurance, claims money saving website QuoteBoffin.co.uk

After examining the claims of homeopathy, the House of Commons select committee on science and technology has concluded that the NHS should no longer provide funding for the treatment.

Homeopathy - a 200-year-old complementary medical practice - uses heavily diluted substances which are thought to cause similar symptoms to the illnesses they are being used to treat; thus triggering the body's natural healing process.

Millions of patients across the globe swear by homeopathic treatments while others dismiss it as nothing more than a 'placebo'. Whichever side of the debate you're on, life insurance comparison website – QuoteBoffin.co.uk – believes that every patient should have the right to seek medical care they feel is appropriate for them.

A spokesperson for QuoteBoffin.co.uk said: “Freedom of choice is something that Britain prides itself on. Removing homeopathy from the NHS medical roster  means a percentage of patients are being denied the right to choose a method of treatment they believe is most appropriate or may work better for them than other forms of medicine.

With health insurance providers still offering homoeopathy treatments via carefully selected homeopathic specialists, patients wishing to pursue this line of treatment may have no other option but to seek private health cover.”

Complimentary therapies and medicines are available via some of the UK's biggest health insurance providers such as AXA PPP and BUPA.  Patients needn't worry about paying through the nose for homeopathic treatment out with the NHS claims QuoteBoffin.co.uk: “The end of homoeopathy on the NHS  doesn't mean the end of homoeopathy full stop. Health insurance premiums start from as little as £5 per month which is a small price to pay for peace of mind and first class healthcare which covers homeopathy and beyond.

With the rise and rise of price comparison websites that allow consumers to check insurance prices, there's no reason why you can't get a good deal on an insurance package that allows you to retain freedom of choice with regard to medical care.”

I cannot understand how knowledge of the effectiveness of homeopathy has bypassed
I cannot understand how knowledge of the effectiveness of homeopathy has bypassed Dr David Purves and his like. The treatment by a homeopath (a practising doctor) to one of my children over 20 years ago, after the failure of conventional medicine, was effective. Since then I have used many remedies successfully. This has probably saved the NHS and ourselves quite a lot of money over the years.

The problem is that homeopathy is not expensive. Research into diseases and serious medical conditions, desperately needed and expensive, is carried out by drug companies who then require a return on their investment and, therefore, have a vested interest in rubbishing homeopathy. Of course there are many conditions which do require conventional medicine, but the benefits of gentle homeopathic treatment should not be so ignored.

India Urgently Needs Healthcare System - NHRC
There is a paradoxical situation in India. On one side, we have super specialty medical centres which cater to the needs of patients requiring specialised  and speedy treatment and on the other hand, a very large number of our population remains deprived of basic medical facilities and healthcare,” said National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) member P.C. Sharma.

There is an urgent need to redesign and reform the sector. The healthcare in India is a wide mix of antique systems in rural areas only to be contrasted by world-class private hospitals in some of the metropolis. There are illegal medical practices going on through out the nation.

There is no Healthcare System in India. Just like USA, India has healthcare sector not system and it is a lot worse than US.

“Professionals and stakeholders have to minimise these poignant inequalities in healthcare and make it accessible to one and all. There is a need to promote  health as a human right by launching a primary healthcare movement,” said Sharma.

NHRC’s acting chairperson G.P. Mathur said that “a good healthcare system does not just mean “access to healthcare and building hospitals. It extends further and includes a wide range of factors like freedom from non-consensual medical treatment, safe food, safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, health related education and gender equality. Non-availability of national data of registered medical practitioners is another issue, which needs attention from the concerned authorities.”

Their is a need to create a comprehensive list of hospitals, practitioner, their certifications, connecting all the providers electronically, healthcare policy and much more. With the growth that India has seen, healthcare must catch up.

Beware Articles Against Homeopathy - They Are Running Scared
Are the physicians running scared? There are a group of well-organized and well-funded persons who are against natural medicine. They have nothing more productive to do with their lives except spend their days thinking up negative things to say about natural health topics. Their latest tactic is to create fictitious articles that attempt to illustrate their point in a lame effort to turn the tide against CAM, and most especially homeopathy. Now, why would they do that?

Because it would burst their precious bubble to find out they are not the only type of effective medical care on earth. Their drug stocks would plummet as people began to take more responsibility for their health care. When people stop running to the doctor, the emergency room, or the hospital for every little bump and bruise they would not be able to pocket all that money on drug sales. They would lose a little prestige as the only game in town.

It seems so strange, because with the availability of natural health measures, the over-burdened medical systems would get a reduction in stress and breaking out at the seams. They could focus on shoring up what they do best in medical care. Clean up their buildings, train more nurses, physicians assistants and doctors to fill the great need across the country. And, hey, even these new staff could take a few classes in nutrition to beat obesity and diabetes, yoga for stress reduction for heart patients, breathing exercises for those prone to anxiety attacks, hands-on-healing to improve bedside manner and doctor- patient relationships. Perchance, even take some homeopathy emergency care courses to become familiar with its great potential in healing.

The naysayers are downright wrong on every account when they claim homeopathy is poison and with a twist of their tongue say that there is nothing in it. How can they have it both ways? They scream that homeopathy is so diluted that it is like one drop in the ocean and has no effect. They stage a mass suicide attempt to prove that homeopathy is harmless. And, in so doing show that these tiny pellets are sugar pills and nothing else. Yet, now they are claiming taking a few of these tiny pellets cause side-effects and can send someone to the emergency room. What a crock!

In fact, those extremists are really frightened now, because recently the traditional medical system is getting into the integrative and alternative field. In England they've had specialty hospitals that have provided natural care. The naysayers, many call them denialists, are doing everything in the power to return to a one-door policy and remove personal choice for medical care. Now, media articles are turning up in other countries, including America. I just read this totally long-winded spiel, in the Los Angeles Times, that makes every daft effort to say that homeopathy is poison.

British Homeopathic Association response to Committee Report
The British Homeopathic Association finds the Science and Technology Committee report sets out recommendations that are completely unfounded and reflect the biased nature of the Committee’s review of evidence.

This report hinges on the repeated assertion that homeopathy is merely placebo, a view that is not supported by scientific evidence. We have already responded to the report’s criticisms of the evidence submitted by the BHA. The BHA is further setting the record straight by responding in detail to the recommendations put forward in the report. Our rebuttals are appearing on 1-3 March 2010 and address the following:

Part 1: The policy on NHS funding and provision of homeopathy (Recommendation 1)
Part 2: Expectations of the evidence base (Recommendations 2-6)
Part 3: Evidence Check: NHS funding and provision of homeopathy (Recommendations 7-17)
Part 4: NICE and Homeopathy on the NHS (Recommendations 18-24)
Part 5: Product licensing and pharmacies (Recommendations 25-32)
Part 6: Overall conclusions (Recommendation 33)

The report is systematic only in excluding facts that tend to support homeopathy: it omits or misrepresents any research evidence (including the BHA’s),  which challenges the view that patients’ response to homeopathy is due to placebo. Large areas of evidence that were mentioned in written submissions and oral evidence are ignored. These include all systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials of homeopathy for specific conditions and groups of conditions, and systematic reviews of biological models of homeopathic responses. The evidence suggests that homeopathy is effective in a number of specific conditions, and there are a number of reproducible biological models of homeopathy.

It would be ill-advised for the government to accept the report’s flawed recommendations, especially from a committee that issued its report with the votes of only four of 14 committee members: three for, one against. If adopted, these recommendations not only would deny patients vital treatment but would threaten important and necessary research development in homeopathy.

Science and Technology Committee of UK Parliament- Fourth Report on Homeopathy (full)

The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee said using public money on the highly-diluted remedies could not be justified.  The cross-party group said there was no evidence beyond a placebo effect, when a patient gets better because of their belief that the treatment works. But manufacturers and supporters of homeopathy disputed the report, saying the MPs had ignored important evidence.

Govt of India Launches National Urban Health Missions
For 280 Million Poor Urban Indians India launched an ambitious rural health mission, NRHM to provide accessible, affordable, and reliable primary healthcare facilities to the rural population.  The program is going through its phases of implementation.

As a next step, the government has also created a similar program to provide access to over 28 crore urban poors distributed in over 429 cities and towns. However, the project has been put on hold to give due focus to NHRM.

However, Union health secretary K Sujatha Rao said that NUHM would now be launched during the 12th plan.

Union Health Secretary, K. Sujatha Rao told Times Of India, “We have so far focused on energizing India’s rural areas with NRHM. Sinve there are just two  years left in the 11th plan (2007-2012), NUHM will be launched post-2012 now.” She added, “Over the next two years, we will sharpen NUHM’s execution plan and get its strategy right. Once both NUHM and NRHM run simultaneously, we can call it India’s Unified National Health Mission.”

According to TOI, at present, 60% of the pressure on urban hospitals is because of non-availability of health facilities and doctors in rural areas. NUHM had also planned to set aside at least 15% of its budget for street children and the homeless. Under the programme, the government was to put in place  one Urban Social Health Activist (USHA) for every 2,000 population and one urban health centre for every 50,000 urban population.

These centres were to have a minimum of one doctor, two nurses and 5 midwives. Around 25,000 USHAs were to be put in place by 2012, according to the original plan.

ECH rebuffs UK Parliamentary Committee report
In a report published 22 February 2010, the Science and Technology Committee of the United Kingdom House of Commons concludes that homeopathy is not  efficacious (that is, it does not work beyond the placebo effect), that explanations for why homeopathy would work are scientifically implausible and that  further clinical trials of homeopathy could not be justified. Furthermore, it concludes that the NHS should cease funding homeopathy and that the Medicines

and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) should no longer license homeopathic medicines. The full report as well as all written and oral evidence  that was submitted to the Committee is available here. Remarkably, just 4 of the 14 members of the Science and Technology Committee voted on this report: 3 for, one against. One of its three signatories has stridently campaigned against homeopathy and continued to do so even in the period between the hearings and the publication of the report.

The European Committee for Homeopathy finds the conclusions and recommendations of the Science and Technology Committee completely unfounded. The report is highly tendentious and fundamentally flawed, consistently misrepresenting the scientific evidence to the detriment of homeopathy and making unfounded and pejorative allegations against those who advocate or practise homeopathy.

The report ignores large areas of evidence which were mentioned in written submissions and oral evidence such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials of homeopathy for specific conditions and groups of conditions, and systematic reviews of biological models of homeopathic responses. The evidence suggests that homeopathy is effective in a number of specific conditions, and there are a number of reproducible biological models of  homeopathy.
The European Committee for Homeopathy fully endorses the robust and comprehensive response by the British Homeopathic Association. 

Predicting the Course of Childhood Asthma
Asthma morbidity improves as children get older, but most school-age children with persistent asthma will have symptoms during adolescence.
Parents often ask, "Will my child outgrow asthma?" In 2000, the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) Research Group (JW Gen Med Oct 27 2000) reported  that children aged 5 to 12 years with persistent asthma who were treated with inhaled corticosteroids for approximately 5 years had better asthma control than children who were treated with nedocromil or placebo. After active treatment was stopped, asthma control and lung function did not differ among groups.

To describe the natural history of childhood asthma, the CAMP Research Group assessed outcomes in 909 (86%) of the original cohort after a washout period and another 4 years of treatment and follow-up by their personal physicians. Based on reports of symptoms, exacerbations, and medication use, only 6% of children had remitting asthma (absence of any asthma activity at the last 4 encounters), while 39% had periodic asthma and 55% had persistent asthma. Prior use of inhaled corticosteroids during the CAMP trial had no effect on lung function or asthma remission during the 4-year follow-up period. Predictors of persistent asthma included atopy, low lung function, and increased airway  hyperresponsiveness. Sensitization and exposure to indoor allergens were associated with three times the risk for persistent asthma. Asthma severity improved  over time for all three asthma groups, but more-severe asthma at study enrollment was associated with more-severe asthma during adolescence.

Glycated Hemoglobin, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Risk in Nondiabetic Adults
Background Fasting glucose is the standard measure used to diagnose diabetes in the United States. Recently, glycated hemoglobin was also recommended for this purpose.

Methods We compared the prognostic value of glycated hemoglobin and fasting glucose for identifying adults at risk for diabetes or cardiovascular disease. We measured glycated hemoglobin in whole-blood samples from 11,092 black or white adults who did not have a history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease and who attended the second visit (occurring in the 1990–1992 period) of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.

Results The glycated hemoglobin value at baseline was associated with newly diagnosed diabetes and cardiovascular outcomes. For glycated hemoglobin values of less than 5.0%, 5.0 to less than 5.5%, 5.5 to less than 6.0%, 6.0 to less than 6.5%, and 6.5% or greater, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (with 95% confidence intervals) for diagnosed diabetes were 0.52 (0.40 to 0.69), 1.00 (reference), 1.86 (1.67 to 2.08), 4.48 (3.92 to 5.13), and 16.47 (14.22 to 19.08), respectively. For coronary heart disease, the hazard ratios were 0.96 (0.74 to 1.24), 1.00 (reference), 1.23 (1.07 to 1.41), 1.78 (1.48 to 2.15), and 1.95 (1.53 to 2.48), respectively. The hazard ratios for stroke were similar. In contrast, glycated hemoglobin and death from any cause were found to have a J-shaped association curve. All these associations remained significant after adjustment for the baseline fasting glucose level. The association between the fasting glucose levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease or death from any cause was not significant in models with adjustment for all covariates as well as glycated hemoglobin. For coronary heart disease, measures of risk discrimination showed significant improvement when glycated hemoglobin was added to models including fasting glucose.

Conclusions In this community-based population of nondiabetic adults, glycated hemoglobin was similarly associated with a risk of diabetes and more strongly associated with risks of cardiovascular disease and death from any cause as compared with fasting glucose. These data add to the evidence supporting the use  of glycated hemoglobin as a diagnostic test for diabetes

Time fires first high-speed broadband salvo
Posted in Malaysia Explorer by Edwin Yapp on Friday, February 26 2010 11:42 AM
A couple of weeks ago before Chinese New Year, local service provider Time dotCom (TdC), announced the launch of Time Fibre Broadband, what it claims to be the fastest high-speed broadband Internet service in Malaysia, touting packages that allow users access at speeds of up to 50Mbps (megabits per second).

At the launch of its service, TdC claimed its Time Fibre Broadband system is based on a full fiber optic network connected directly to the home and supports most broadband applications such as voice, video streaming, e-commerce and other Internet based applications, while boasting of new levels of speed and service quality never seen before in the country.

TdC CEO Afzal Abdul Rahim said the company is focused on delivering the first and only pure fiber optic broadband network, while others work on packaging services around existing or hybrid infrastructure. "Simply put, Time Fibre Broadband is the answer to the long awaited needs of Malaysian Internet users, providing the highest speed and bandwidth capacity available in Malaysia," he said at the launch. TdC's Fibre Broadband is, however, only in its initial phase, where it has launched its services only in Mont Kiara, a small suburb to the west of Kuala Lumpur , and is confined to seven condominium blocks.

The company noted that coverage expansion in phases two and three are still in the works, and it would not commit to an exact launch date. TdC is offering three packages; a 2Mbps package for 149 ringgit (US$44), a 5Mbps for 199 ringgit (US$59) and a 10Mbps for 329 ringgit (US$97). Notwithstanding this, TdC's announcement and launch pre-empts the more highly publicized high-speed broadband project, dubbed HSBB, which incumbent operator  Telekom Malaysia (TM) first announced in 2007. The state-linked company was awarded the mega HSBB project, which targets to cover 2.2 million premises at an estimated cost of 15.2 billion ringgit (US$4.46 billion) over 10 years.

Since announcing its plan more than two years ago, TM, according to industry sources, has been lagging behind in its initial HSBB roll out in targeted areas in the country. In fact, reports began to surface in the middle of last year suggesting that TM would only roll out HSBB in late 2009. However, until now, all consumers have experienced are teaser advertisements about its HSBB service on its Web site. With TdC's recent announcement, the spotlight is now trained on TM over its plans to roll out HSBB on time this year. To date, TM advertisements claim that it will launch its HSBB service sometime by first quarter of this year, with more areas to follow later in the year.  While TdC may have boasting rights as the first service provider to get into high-speed broadband services, industry observers have noted this is a very limited offering since the service is only available in a small confined area in an affluent neighbourhood in KL.

How to store Breast Milk
To prevent contamination, breast milk must be handled and stored properly before feeding to baby.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these suggestions:
Wash your hands before you pump or handle breast milk.
Make sure you store the milk in containers that are clean and have a tight seal. Examples may include bottles with a screw cap, plastic cups with lids that fit tightly, or bags that are designed for use with milk and bottles.
Label the container of breast milk with the date, so you know which containers to use first. Include baby's name if it will be taken to your child's care provider.
Never add fresh breast milk to frozen milk that is already stored.
Never save or re-feed milk from a partially consumed bottle.
 
Radiation Most Effective Soon After Breast Cancer Surgery
For women who have had breast cancer surgery, the question of whether or not to wait before receiving radiation therapy has been answered by new research that suggests that the longer women wait, the greater the chance of cancer recurrence.

The findings, published in the March 3 online edition of BMJ, are based on an analysis of national cancer records for 18,050 American women who were diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer between 1991 and 2002, at age 65 or older. All of the women underwent breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy, but not chemotherapy.

Among the 30 percent of the women in the study who began radiation therapy more than six weeks after surgery, the researchers found that 4 percent went on to develop local recurrences within five years. The researchers, led by scientists from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, also discovered that the risk of recurrence appeared to decline the sooner radiation treatment began. This suggests that it's a bad idea to wait to begin radiation therapy, and the treatment should start as soon as possible after surgery, the authors of the report noted in a news release from the journal's publisher.
 

The researchers also found that black and Hispanic women took longer, on average, to begin radiation treatment.

Homeopathy will come out victorious as it has for over two hundred twenty odd years.
We have been carrying out research on biological activities of many homeopathic drugs, both mother tincture and potentized forms beyond Avogadro's limit, since 1979 (more than three decades now) without funding by any funding agency till 2004 and found the drugs showing efficacies in ameliorating/modulating many induced disorders in model systems by deploying widely accepted scientific protocols in various models in vivo and various mammalian cell lines in vitro, maintaining suitable controls. We published many scientific papers in both CAM and mainstream journals of good standing, most of them peer-reviewed and with impact factors.

For successful understanding of the mechanism of action, physical aspect of how the medicinal property is successfully transferred  to and retained by the vehicle is to be clearly understood, but no less important is to explain how a few sugar globules soaked with homeopathic drugs (in  alcohol) can act to trigger positive curative multi-directional responses in not only mammals (including, man, mice, rat, dog, horse etc.) but also in non- mammals (bacteria, virus, protozoans etc.) and plants. We have used several state-of-the art techniques to strongly suggest the action of potentized homeopathic drugs at the molecular (gene, cytokine signalling responses etc) level and have published these results in vigorously peer-reviewed journals
with proper acceptable scientific protocols and explanations. There should be a coordination of understanding of physical aspect, biological aspect, and medical aspects (including mind body interaction) in explaining the mechanism of action, which have by now accumulated enough evidences for being debated in a scientific platform by those who actually have direct scientific contributions, and not by those who merely comment on published results of others.

To me this group of scientists who only base their comments on something which more fashionably is called "meta-analysis", by selecting those parts which suit them best, should not be given too much importance because they basically depend on "borrowed" data and do more harm to homeopathy by trying to sail on two boats, by sometimes supporting those who decline to accept it as science, and again, at opportune moments, support the researchers who put forward solid scientific evidences by publishing the findings in reputed international journals. This is high time that anyone who does scientific research should go for
publishing their findings in reputed international peer-reviewed journals only, rather than publishing them in obscure journals without any scientific credibility in the minds of skeptics, and try to show off as a "renowned researcher" to local fellow colleagues and researchers . Money is flowing now to those who conduct research on homeopathy. Care and caution should be taken to see that established and bright researchers having research qualifications and having done some research on homeopathy are only considered for funding, otherwise many incompetent persons will get into the business and will hardly make any advancement of homeopathy in the true sense. The leaning should be on quality rather than quantity to save homeopathy from the disastrous situation.

Counselling on homeopathy research should be sought from those who have experiences of conducting scientific research on homeopathy for a long time and with proven abilities. But hopefully this is a passing phase and homeopathy will come out victorious as it has for over two hundred twenty odd years.
