National Health Service (UK) told to abandon alternative medicine but acupuncture

Posted by Dr Vitalis Acupuncture in acupuncture, pain relief

A group of Britain’s leading doctors has urged every NHS trust to stop
paying for alternative medicine and to use the money for conventional

Their appeal is a direct challenge to the Prince of Wales’s outspoken campaign to widen access to complementary therapies.

The organiser Michael Baum, Emeritus Professor of Surgery at University College London said that he was happy for the National Health Service to offer the treatments once
research has proven them effective, such as acupuncture for pain relief .
