Homeopathy already gets away with passing their products off as medicine with little interference from the FDA. A new bill was just introduced to make it even easier for them.

A new study found high rates of liver failure among patients using alternative medicine, many of which had high levels of heavy metals and other contaminants. And yet, the US still refuses to regulate the multi-billion dollar supplement industry.

Collecting data and building an evidence base is good, but is "Promoting Chinese medicine health literacy" compatible with evidence based medicine or just a dogmatic attempt to cherry pick endpoints and shoehorn it into current medical practice in #HongKong? Discuss.

Dorothy Yeung, Research Manager of Our Hong Kong Foundation, responds to the 2026-27 Budget released on 25 February.

Dorothy Yeung welcomes the injection of HKD 500 million into the Chinese Medicine Development Fund, but it is crucial to ensure funded projects align with the "Chinese Medicine Development Blueprint."

She suggests that the Fund should prioritise projects that combine clinical data from Chinese Medicine Clinics and Training and Research Centres and the Chinese Medicine Hospital. She also recommends that the Government step up public education on Chinese medicine health literacy, actively promoting the “preventive treatment of disease” concept. Furthermore, he proposed demonstrating the effectiveness of Chinese medicine through locally based clinical evidence, thereby supporting the international promotion of Chinese medicine.
