Idea: Using Magic Water To Clean Up Washington

"Britain's House of Commons on Monday dealt a blow to CAM. 'Homeopathic products perform no better than placebos,' said the Parliamentary committee's report, which concludes: 'To maintain patient trust, choice and safety, the Government should not endorse the use of placebo treatments, including homeopathy.'

In the face of the looming health-care reform, U.S. Senators have been trying to add various provisions to the bill: Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) has tried to push insurance coverage for alternative medicines; and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) has attached a provision that would cover Christian Science prayer treatments.

WIth an industry whose products offer a greater risk of danger than a promise of benefit, and as the public keeps buying into these remedies, the U.S. should intervene not to support the trend of their growing use, as Harkin and Hatch would seem to support, but reducing our reliance on quackery."

-- Melly Alazraki, pointing out the same senators I have - click their tags, below, to see - while accusing them of doing the same ugly things I've accused them of, but (and this is different) in the name of Daily Finance.

And, yea, you should read the whole thing.
