Less Médecins Sans Frontières and more Médecins Sans Medicine
Via CBC News:
Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) is an insidious tropical infection that begins with flu-like symptoms and can end with heart failure.
The only proven treatments are a pair of costly pharmaceutical drugs.
But a group of Canadian homeopaths say they can detect, prevent and treat the disease, and the federal government is paying to take their remedies to sick Hondurans.
Quebec-based Terre Sans Frontières (TSF) is spending $350,000 in aid money from Global Affairs Canada to dispatch more than a dozen volunteer homeopaths to Honduras over five years.
More on the ridiculousness of homeopathy here, here, and here. Not only is this a waste of money, it’s going to harm Hondurans.
