Prince Charles Branded a ‘Snake Oil Salesman’

The Guardian
By: Ian Sample
Britain’s leading alternative medicine researcher has reignited a public row with Clarence House by branding the Prince of Wales a “snake oil salesman”.
Professor Edzard Ernst criticised the heir to the throne for lending his support to homeopathic remedies and for promoting the Duchy Herbals detox tincture.
In a briefing with reporters at the Science Media Centre in London, Ernst warned that “snake oil salesmen are ubiquitous and dangerous”, and named the prince as “one of the most outspoken proponents of homeopathy”.
He later told the Guardian: “There are no official criteria for a snake oil salesman, but if they existed, I think Charles would fulfil them.”
Ernst, who was Britain’s first professor of complementary medicine, agreed recently to retire early from Exeter University, where he presided for 18 years over a unit that subjects alternative medicines to thorough scientific scrutiny.
Many of Ernst’s studies have been damning for complementary medicines, with some proving no more effective than sugar pills. Other treatments, such as chiropractic spine manipulation, were potentially dangerous, he has said.
In a briefing that coincided with his stepping down, Ernst blamed earlier confrontations with Clarence House for the threatened closure of his department and his early exit as head of the unit.
The most serious clash came in 2005 when Ernst attacked a report commissioned by the prince into the economics of complementary medicine. Ernst was due to help prepare the report, but asked for his name to be removed after questioning its validity.
The report, led by Christopher Smallwood, a former economics adviser to Barclays Bank, claimed the UK could save billions by offering spinal manipulation such as chiropractic in place of mainstream treatments, and make further savings by prescribing homeopathy instead of standard drugs. Ernst described the report as “outrageous and deeply flawed” days before it was published.
The comments prompted a complaint from Sir Michael Peat, chairman of the Prince’s now defunct Foundation for Integrated Health, to the vice-chancellor of Exeter University. The university responded with a 13-month investigation, which cleared Ernst of any wrongdoing, though he was later told that his unit would close in 2010.
While Ernst will still take early retirement, the department will remain open under plans drawn up by Professor Steve Thornton, who took over as Dean at Exeter in May. The university plans to advertise for a replacement for Ernst next week.
“The whole thing would backfire in my view tremendously if we found a promoter of alternative medicine and not a good scientist,” Ernst said, adding: “It looked as though I had to go and that was the price for the unit to continue.”
Clarence House said it would not respond to Ernst’s latest comments, and added that the prince was unaware of Sir Michael’s complaint in 2005.
A spokeswoman for Waitrose, which has exclusive rights to sell the Prince’s Duchy products, said only that the Duchy Herbals range “complies to all the regulatory standards”.

People Are Finally Waking Up And Looking To Alternative Medicine

By: David Gutierrez
Ninety percent of parents would like to know more about alternative medical approaches for their children, according to a survey conducted by Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota (Children’s), a nationwide leader in integrative medical approaches.
Integrative medicine combines traditional Western medicine with medical therapies from other traditions, including acupuncture, massage and nutrition.
The survey also found that 90 percent of parents have a strong desire to eliminate their children’s pain and improve their quality of life, while 85 percent would like to minimize their dependence on drugs. Parents felt especially strongly about reducing drug treatment for mood or behavioral problems such as anxiety or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Sixty-eight percent of parents believed that integrative treatment could be effective, and more than 75 percent said that hospitals should offer experts on both conventional and alternative treatments.
Yet only 12 percent of parents surveyed had ever spoken to their child’s doctor about the possibility of alternative or integrative medical treatments.
“Many children with chronic or acute health conditions seek a complementary or integrative approach only after they have exhausted all other conventional treatment options,” said Timothy Culbert of Children’s. “Parents should be aware that integrative medicine can be helpful from the onset of disease and can save time, money and most importantly, improve a child’s quality of life. This is true for all kinds of conditions including acute illnesses like cancer or chronic problems like migraines or behavioral issues.”
Among parents of children with serious health issues, 42 percent had more knowledge of integrative medicine than others in the survey. Yet nearly two-thirds had still never considered integrative medicine due to insufficient familiarity with the subject.
“Parents need to consult and work with their child’s physician to determine what integrative medicine options are available that may be helpful,” Culbert said. “There are so many different kinds of complementary therapies, it’s important to learn about options to find an approach that will work best for each patient. I see first-hand every day the difference it can make in a child’s life.”
Ninety-five percent of parents whose children had undergone integrative treatment reported a positive experience.

Daily Finance: Alternative Medicine is Ineffective…or Worse

Disturbing news about alternative medicine has been in the air lately. Just the other day, and a few years too late, the Food and Drug Administration issued a stern warning about ear candling — the practice of using lit cone-shaped candles to supposedly draw earwax and impurities or toxins out of the ear canal, marketed for conditions ranging from hearing loss to cancer. Alas, the FDA says that ear candling is not only ineffective but can cause “serious injuries.”
The warning came just weeks after a liquid dietary supplement marketed as suitable for the “entire family,” providing nutrients to “maintain energy and sustain health,” had 200 times the concentration of selenium listed, causing a widespread outbreak of acute selenium poisoning that sickened 201 people. And then there was the Zicam warning last year: a homeopathic nasal-spray and gel cold remedy from Matrixx Initiatives (MTXX), recalled by the FDA after it apparently caused users to lose their sense of smell. Homeopathic remedies are regulated as over-the-counter drugs but aren’t subject to drugs’ safety and efficacy testing.
Poison on the Shelves
Doctors, scientists, and researchers have long warned that most “complementary and alternative medicines,” or CAM — acupuncture, homeopathy, dietary supplements, Ayuverda — are at best ineffective and at worst dangerous. Little scientific evidence suggests efficacy, and many studies backing them lack scientific merit. The 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act weakened up the regulation of dietary supplements, permitting marketers to promote vitamins, minerals, herbs or botanicals, and amino acids without submitting proof of efficacy or safety to the FDA.
The result is potentially poisonous products on the market, say researchers in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Dietary supplements were considered safe unless proven otherwise by the FDA, through postmarket surveillance: a strategy the General Accounting Offices criticizes for being ineffective. And under the DSHE act, manufacturers of dietary supplements were not required to record or forward to the FDA any reports of illnesses that may have resulted from the use of their products.
In 2007, some 38% of U.S. adults and 12% of children used CAM in the previous 12 months, according to the National Institute of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Those 83 million adults spent $33.9 billion out-of-pocket on CAM: 1.5% of the total spent on U.S. heath care, and 11.2% of what was spent out-of-pocket. Despite evidence that they’re ineffective, such remedies constitute a growing category.
A Senator Backs Faith-Based Medicine
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.
It’s unclear whether faith-based medicine has ever been clinically tested, but a spotcheck of the NCCAM Health page and its Office of Dietary Supplement fact sheet shows that many remedies have very limited health benefit, if any. 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.

Today’s Medical Students Want Alternative Medicine

Are up-and-coming young doctors going to practice the same kind of mainstream medicine as their predecessors? Will the next generation of docs turn up their noses at alternative therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, herbs and vitamins — just like the majority of the current crop of docs? In what may come as a surprise to many mainstream physicians, the answer to those questions may be a resounding “no”.
According to research published in the online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (eCAM), 75 percent of medical students surveyed think it would be beneficial for conventional Western medicine to integrate with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAM places emphasis on natural therapies and using the body’s own healing powers instead of relying on drugs, vaccines and other standard Western treatments.
A University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and University of California, San Diego, research team comprised of experts in the fields of CAM, integrative medicine, Western medicine, medical education and survey development created a first of its kind 30 question survey that was distributed to 126 U.S. medical schools. Some 1,770 medical students completed the survey — roughly, about three percent of the 68,000 medical students nationwide. Although the response rate to the survey was fairly low, the researchers say it provided valuable insights into current medical students’ perceptions of CAM.
For example, the findings revealed that 77 percent of the medical student participants agreed patients whose doctors are knowledgeable about complementary and alternative medicine in addition to conventional medicine benefit more than those whose doctors are only familiar with Western medicine. In fact, 74 percent agreed that a medical system which integrated conventional medicine with CAM could be more effective that either type of medicine used independently.
A whopping 84 percent of the participants surveyed said CAM contains beliefs, ideas and therapies that could benefit conventional medicine. Some of this attitudinal shift in medical students could be the result of personal experiences — almost half of the participants said they had used complementary and alternative treatments themselves.
“Complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, is receiving increased attention in light of the global health crisis and the significant role of traditional medicine in meeting public health needs in developing countries,” study author Ryan Abbott, a researcher at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine, said in a statement to the media. “Integrating CAM into mainstream health care is now a global phenomenon, with policymakers at the highest levels endorsing the importance of a historically marginalized form of health care.”
The study also found that more than 60 percent of the medical student participants want more education related to CAM during their time in medical school. In a press statement, the researchers noted that although more than 50 percent of U.S. medical schools currently offer some type of CAM courses, these studies could be streamlined into more formal curricula as part of standardized medical school education.
Prince Charles Calls for Alternative Medicine to Get Approval

Prince Charles has clashed with the medical establishment by calling for alternative medicine to be given the official seal of approval.
The Prince, a long-standing supporter of complementary therapies, wants herbalists and acupuncturists to be formally regulated like physiotherapists and osteopaths.
His Foundation for Integrated Health says a system of registration will protect livelihoods under threat from new EU rules on the therapies.
But the Royal College of Physicians says it would confer an air of ‘respectability’ on a branch of medicine that is not proven to work.
The row centres on an EU directive that will from next year ban herbalists, including practitioners of Chinese medicine, from prescribing many treatments unless the law recognises them as health professionals.
The Foundation, which was set up by the Prince of Wales in 1993, says the solution is a system of registration, that would put herbalists on equal footing to physiotherapists and osteopaths. Acupuncturists would also be registered.
A spokesman for the charity said that without the scheme the therapies could be driven underground, and lives put at risk.
He added: ‘The Government is under pressure from a small but vociferous group of scientists who claim that regulation is about recognising professional status rather than protecting the public.
‘That is absolutely wrong. If Government caves in to their demands, public health will be put at risk.
‘Millions of us use herbal medicine – around a quarter of the population have done so at some time in their lives and about one in twelve have consulted a herbalist.
‘The Prince’s Foundation for Integrated Health fears that many will be unwilling to give up the remedies they believe help them, and instead resort to unregulated internet retailers or bogus practitioners.
‘There have been cases where the products they use have been found to be adulterated with unsafe, illegal pharmaceuticals – and to contain lead, mercury or arsenic.’
Dr Michael Dixon, the charity’s medical director, said: ‘No one deserves to die for no better reason than preferring herbal remedies to conventional medicine.’
A spokesman for the Prince said he had recently met Health Secretary Andy Burnham.
He added that one of the Foundation’s main objectives was to ‘safeguard the millions of people who regularly use herbal medicine.’
But the Royal College of Physicians is against statutory regulation on the grounds that it would make such treatments appear ‘credible’.
Truth About Obama Health Care Plan

We are at a defining and crucial moment in our history. A machine is in motion that will alter our future. If after you read this article, you agree with its main points, or at least feel they need to be heard, send it on to others. Find ways to make your voice count.
It is one thing to read and understand the details of the Obama Health Plan. It is another thing to grasp the kind of power this bill will create, and what that power, in the future, will mean and do.
I realize that many people reading this essay have no interest in alternative medicine. However, that field represents freedom of choice for millions of Americans, and if you want to deny that choice—because you have a mistaken notion about, and a misplaced faith in, how medical science actually operates—the medical facts I describe and cite below should bring about a new appreciation of what freedom looks like, and how important the job of protecting it is.
This might be the most important medical article I’ve ever written, and in 20 years as a reporter, I’ve written many.
As I begin this essay on Thanksgiving morning, I recall that, 15 years ago, I was preparing to challenge Henry Waxman for his seat in the US House, in the 29th District, Los Angeles. At that time, the issue was Health Freedom, the right of every American to choose how to maintain and improve his/her health. And here I am again, with the same issue—only this time, there is a gargantuan White House program in place to destroy that freedom from the top down.
And various alternative-health advocates, having lost their minds, are supporting it. Among them are people who actually believe the small affirmative nods from politicians, in the direction of alternative medicine, are signaling an enlightened age under the Obama Star.
Duped again. One more time.
I have never imagined Democrats or Republicans represented the American people. This time, it is the political Left, with their naïve belief in “science” and “humanitarian work” who are leading the country over a cliff.
In the same way climate-change researchers have recently been exposed as charlatans, manipulators, and elitists, the medical establishment has been laid open and flayed—only the revelations came nine years ago. And of course, the major media refused to chase down that story and shine a light on the criminals.
On July 26, 2000, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a landmark paper by Barbara Starfield (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health), “Is US health really the best in the world?” In it, Starfield revealed what many people inside the medical establishment already knew: every year, like clockwork, the medical system was killing huge numbers of people. This wasn’t a dream. It was too real. By all rights (but who cares about rights?) the game was up. The liars and the PR flacks and the public health agencies were going down. The drug companies were going to take a lethal blow. Hospitals all over America were going to have to confess their many sins. Of course, that never happened.
