Editing Matthias Rath (section)

===South African Council of Churches===
To address the "confusion" created by Rath's advertising campaign, the [[South African Council of Churches]] issued a statement that Rath's activities in South Africa "can only be interpreted as misguided strategies to promote Rath's own brand of nutritional supplements." The Council affirmed the importance of both antiretroviral medication and good nutrition for people with HIV, and pointed out that multivitamins are distributed by [[public health]] services and need not be obtained from Rath's organisation.<ref>[http://www.sacc.org.za/news05/rathads.html "Don't Be Confused by Unproven Medical Claims, SACC warns"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061231094538/http://www.sacc.org.za/news05/rathads.html |date=31 December 2006 }}.
