 | | But according to The Lancet, there is no global body with "the mandate, legitimacy, or means to make the progress on development demanded by the millennium development goals". | | | The new body it advocates would be set up along the lines of UNAids, the UN agency responsible for tackling HIV and Aids, itself now acknowledged as one of the most important barriers to economic progress in the developing world. | | | It says there is no consensus on the best policies for development, as there has been no scientific analysis of what works and what does not. |

| | It is for this very reason that we adopted an analysis of the homeopathic research literature that focused instead on individual clinical trials and their findings (reference 10 in ‘Research in Homeopathy’ section of this website) (4). | | | The very same researchers authoring the Lancet report have created and utilized the type of trials that have not effectively vetted drugs for serious life threatening side-effects. | | | We certainly agree with the Lancet paper’s authors that ‘future research efforts should focus on … the place of homeopathy in health-care systems’ and about ‘the failings of modern medicine’. |
