Summary:
- The article discusses a study published in the Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy that claims to have found homeopathic medicines to be effective in treating acute pharyngitis (sore throat).
- The author, Edzard Ernst, a professor of complementary medicine, criticizes the study, stating that it is another example of "homeopathic BS" coming from India, where homeopathy is widely accepted and practiced.
