French Homeopaths' union sues doctors

More than 120 doctors have been sued by a homeopaths’ union after signing a letter to a newspaper calling for homeopathy costs not to be reimbursed as it and other alternative care were ‘esoteric disciplines’ and ‘fed by charlatans’.

Homeopaths said they wanted the Ordre des Médecins to recognise their work, which the doctors had called a ‘miracle cure’ with ‘no scientific basis’.
