'Homoeopathy more effective for dengue'

KOZHIKODE: The Institution of Homoeopaths, Kerala, on Friday called for a probe into the causes leading to a number of deaths from viral and dengue fevers in the state and claimed homoeopathy could cure dengue in just three days.
"The government should order an enquiry to find out how and why the epidemics caused a severe onslaught and the failure of the health department to check the outbreak," Institution''s state vice-president Dr S Vidya Prakash told reporters here.
Alleging proper steps had not been taken to prevent the spread of the epidemics, he said "while Rs 2.48 crore has been allotted for allopathy treatment, only Rs 20 lakh has been granted for treating the diseases through homoeopathy".
Prakash said "homoeopathy can cure even dengue fever in only three days".
