__NOTOC__ Homeopathy is practised in New Zealand with the population evenly divided as to its effectiveness. Homeopathy practice is unregulated and homeopathic remedies are available at pharmacies, although there are calls to have them removed from sale. A small scale survey of homeopathic practitioners in 2008 showed that they all claimed to be able to treat asthma and ear infections and statement such as "hundreds of remedies for ear infections and asthma" and "homeopaths have a success rate nearing 80%" were made. The New Zealand Medical Association does not oppose the use of alternative medical practices such as homeopathy if it can be shown to have a benefit and the patient can make an informed choice, however this stance has been called unethical and may be in contravention of medical regulations. ==Belief and scepticism== The New Zealand Skeptics organisation took part in the international 1023 campaign in 2011. Protests were held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. A 2012 survey showed that 51% of the New Zealand population had some degree of belief that homeopathic remedies were scientifically proven. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Homeopathy in New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
