Support for alternative medicine
The Prince personally wrote at least seven letters[2] to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) shortly before they introduced regulations in 2006 allowing "homoeopathic treatment" to "claim efficacy measured by their own methods", a decision that was condemned in an article by Times science correspondent Mark Henderson and Nigel Hawkes. The article quoted as its main sources Tracey Brown, director of big pharma-funded lobby group Sense About Science, Evan Harris, the Liberal Democrat science spokesperson, and Michael Baum, a cancer surgeon.[3]
In 2009, Prince Charles called for herbalists and acupuncturists to be formally regulated. [4] The Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health charity argued that without a statutory reguation scheme for herbalists: "many herbalists will no longer be able to offer remedies to their clients and patients will instead turn to the black market."[5]
