Although, I have never used homeopathy and have no immediate plans to explore it, I just want to say that the above statements are just as extreme as those coming from the Church of Scientology re psychiatry.
Twenty years ago, we would have heard the same thing about accupuncture. Still, today, there is not an adequate western explanation for how it works (though there are interesting theories, but they remain just that, theories). YET, there are few in the medical profession that doubt that accupuncture is EXTREMELY effective in pain relief and OFTEN works when western medicine fails.
Thanks for listening.
