Again, I hear youbut the fact remains that sometimes Homeopathy works for people when other methods, placebo included, fail.
I don't have the figures, but I am willing to bet that the amount of money spent by the NHS on Homeopathy is tiny when compared to the amount of money spent on 'conventional' drugs and treatments.
Despite everything that's been said here, I still don't see a single reason to withhold a potentially helpful treatment from people, particularly one that's so clinically risk-free.

In a perfect world, the NHS would offer every potentially beneficial drug available.But there always has to be a cost-benefit assessment.
I'd be happy for there to be more research done into homeopathy and for it to be compared to other treatments, Science should work by looking at any possible explanation without prejudice.
Normally, treatments aren't offered to patients until this kind of assessment has been done, and it should be the same for homeopathy.
