Ben Goldacre has written about homoeopathy in both Lancet and Gruaniad flavours.
There isn't much more for me to say apart from the second article, which is the lead article in the Guardian features section is going to to get noted down as somewhere to point people at, for it is quite one of the best bits of writing on a science topic I have ever read in the mainstream media. Actually sorry Ben, I shouldn't pigeon-hole it like that, it is a great piece in any context </fanboy>. If anyone wants to learn how special interest groups (as pointed out the techniques the homoeopaths use are also used by big pharma) to make it look like trials and studies back their point of view or indeed learn about how evidence based medicine works they should start here and then look into the references, unfortunately it looks like Sheffield libraries doesn't have the Trisha Greenhalgh book he recommends.

Booking a gamca medical is a simple and essential step for expatriates seeking employment or residency in GCC countries. Applicants must visit the official GAMCA website and enter their passport details, nationality, and destination country to generate a reference number. After payment, the system assigns a GAMCA-approved medical center for the health screening. This process ensures a smooth and organized medical check-up, which includes blood tests, X-rays, and physical examinations. The medical report is crucial for visa approval, and only applicants declared medically fit can proceed with their visa process. Early booking is recommended to avoid delays.
