The Royal Society , the UK’s national academy of science, has put a statement about alternative medicine on its “science issues” web site.

 The Royal Society believes that complementary and alternative medicines, like conventional medicines, should be subject to careful evaluation of their effectiveness and safety. It is important that treatments labelled as complementary and alternative medicines are properly tested and that patients do not receive misleading information about the effectiveness of complementary medicine. Furthermore, NHS provision for complementary and alternative medicines, as for conventional medicines, should be confined to treatments that are supported by adequate diagnosis together with evidence of both effectiveness and safety.

Notice the very proper insistence that patents are not deceived about whether the “medicine” works or not. This is in stark contrast to the attitude of the MHRA, which has just endorsed misleading labelling.
