QUEENS LAND, JULY.24:A landmark trial of a natural treatment for osteoarthritis could provide relief to many sufferers who cannot use conventional medicines. Authorities believe around 15 per cent of Australians have the debilitating disease. Research coordinator Don Baker says some patients, who take the available medication, suffer from side effects like gastric bleeding, nausea , kidney and liver dysfunction. “I am getting lots of people coming through this study.” he said. “I would say the majority of them come in because they cannot tolerate the side-effects of their medications. “Mind you, I’m getting some who just refuse to take it because they are more interested in natural products.” Mr Baker says the natural therapy being tried is a first.
“There are some other natural therapy products
out there, but this would be the first time we’ve been able to offer
a homeopathic product,” he said. The trial is part of a joint study
between Queensland and New South Wales researchers.

and effective alternative treatments should be publicly funded. Ms. King
said yesterday complementary and alternative medicine was already widely
used, and a survey had shown that in 2002 one in four people visited an
alternative health practitioner. She has received a report from the Ministerial
Advisory Committee on Complementary and Alternative Health on alternative
medicine and treatment, which took three years to complete.
“The committee considers treatments proven to
be safe, efficacious and cost effective should be publicly funded, and
it also suggests better research infrastructure is needed to maximise
benefits available for this area of care,” Ms. King said. “I
am now giving careful consideration to the committee’s advice and
have asked the ministry to look at how the recommendations may be able
to contribute to improving health outcomes.” Ms. King said the report
also highlighted a need for more information on the safety and effectiveness
of alternative treatments such as naturopathy, chiropractice, herbal medicine,
acupuncture, osteopathy and homeopathy. “It is important that alternative
treatment users can access unbiased and up to date information so they
