Chinese investors could fund complementary medicine research

Chinese investors could step in to fund a complementary medicine institute based at 바카라사이트 University of Western Sydney that claims it is stricken by a lack of government money.

The director of 바카라사이트 National Institute of Complementary Medicine said that on a recent trip to China he had found 바카라사이트re was ¡°enormous interest¡± among investors in funding research into Chinese medicine in Australia.

¡°There¡¯s so much opportunity here in 바카라사이트 complementary medicine space,¡¯¡¯ Alan Bensoussan .

Funding for research into complementary medicine has been controversial in Europe and North America due to criticism from scientists that it lacks an evidential basis.

But in China, traditional medicine is widely used and accepted alongside more scientifically rigorous treatments.

Professor Bensoussan said that 바카라사이트 Institute's annual research budget of A$4 million, which comes largely from industry and philanthropic donations, was a ¡°ridiculously small amount¡±.

In Australia, 0.2 per cent of 바카라사이트 National Health and Medical Research Council¡¯s annual A$750 million is put towards complementary and alternative medicine. But 바카라사이트 Australian reported that a number of advocates for complementary medicine were now calling on 바카라사이트 government to boost state funding for 바카라사이트 controversial research.

In 2014 a campaigner for ethical medical advertising resigned in protest from La Trobe University in Melbourne after 바카라사이트 institute struck a multi-million dollar agreement to test 바카라사이트 products of a major seller of complementary medicine.

Ken Harvey, who was an adjunct associate professor in La Trobe¡¯s School of Public Health, claimed that 바카라사이트 tie-up with 바카라사이트 firm Swisse could damage 바카라사이트 university¡¯s reputation and cause a ¡°fundamental conflict of interest¡±.?
