Reply #66: They're OK, but I don't want homeopaths teaching our children.......

There's a place for homeopathy within "regular" medicine. In the UK, homeopathy is one branch of "complimentary medicine", i.e. stuff that's good to do along with your prescribed medication.

However, I overhead a conversation the other day:

"My 13 year old daughter's really ill with badly inflamed joints. She's in loads of pain and can barely move."
"My God. I hope you took her straight to the homeopath"
"Yes. That's the first thing I did".

Sorry, but get her to a F*CKING doctor before you take her to the homeopath. Homeopathy is wonderful, but not the answer to everything.

I also know of a medically qualified doctor in my hometown who turned "holistic" and started telling kids that you couldn't catch HIV through unprotected sex provided the partners truly loved each other. That kind of thing gives "alternative" practicioners a bad name.

IMHO of course.
