41. Why is it
that some will scoff and attempt to de-bunk anything that isn't created by a pharmaceutical corporation. At the very least, homeopathy has been around for many many years and is known to be not dangerous. At the best, it can work.

On the other hand, the pharmaceutical compounds can be highly toxic even when used correctly, making some people sick and at the worst actually killing people. My husband was taking a prescription for Baycol which turned out to be very dangerous. He has symptoms of some of the problems caused by this drug and is now part of a class action suit against the company. I would far rather that he had been taking a homeopathic remedy. It would have been far safer and probably the desired effect wouldn't have been any different. But try to find a cardiologist that will prescribe a homeopathic remedy. They are all in bed with the pharmaceuticals, even doing their testing for them and everything.
