Homeopatia pode ter efeito de placebo, dizem pesquisadores

A revista científica "The Lancet" publica um artigo nesta sexta-feira em que diz não existir provas de que os remédios homeopáticos funcionam mais do que placebos --pílulas sem efeito, usadas em estudos, que são dadas ao pacientes como se fossem remédio.
Os autores do artigo dizem que chegou a hora de parar com as pesquisas sobre a homeopatia, e que os médicos deveriam ser honestos com seus pacientes, revelando "a falta de benefícios" dessa alternativa.
