No, you 'come on'I did not suggest that the NHS did. Patients consult homeopaths and may do so as a first resort. I am personally aware of people who have been given very hazardous advice by homeopathic practitioners that could have had serious consequences.
Do you honestly give any credence to the homeopathic concept of dilution leaving a memory of the treatment in the diluent?

Well, I don't - I think it IS quackery.But it has relieved the pains of my best friend who suffers from arthritis, has acute danger of constant thombosis, and is in pain due to her immune system attacking itself.
So if it can do that for whatever reason it may be, homeopathy is good enough to stick around.
And no, it wasn't as a first resort. That avenue almost killed her (antibiotics).

No. It's not a reason to stick with homeopathy.It's a reason to examine how and why she is being helped. It certainly is not through the "science" of homeopathy.

I'm presuming it's rheumatoid arthritis,which characteristically has periods where it's very serious, followed by periods of apparent remission.
This makes it difficult sometimes to know whether the treatment has affected it, or if it's a natural cycle.
I'm not trying to insult her intelligence here, I'm just saying it's an another possibility.

No, I give no credence to it whatever.But the uncomfortable, unavoidable, clinically proven fact remains, Homeopathic remedies have been shown to cure or alleviate diagnosed medical conditions in some people.
My position is, don't get blind-sided by the dogma and dodgy theories and explanations. Sometimes Homeopathic remedies work. So why not use them?
