Malaria Scaria

Home » Alternative Medicine » Blog » Malaria Scaria

Two million Britons travel to parts of the world where malaria is rampant each year, about 2,000 of them return having contracted the disease; primarily they have fallen ill because they have not taken any anti-malaria tablets. Doctors have begun noticing some cases where patients have taken homeopathic remedies instead of licensed medicines, having been told these could be used instead of conventional medicine.

Dr Ron Behrens who runs a travel clinic at the London Hospital for Tropical Diseases has seen several patients who thought they were safe because they were taking homeopathic remedies for protection, offering Britons travelling to the malaria belt 'an easy option and false hope'.

Well, can't win 'em all, I guess.
