Homeopathic A&E: when the strong stuff won’t cut it

Homoeopathy and alternatives cost lives, for every person suckered into these scammy schemes is one less person who will get proper cancer treatment if and when the time comes.

You could say it is the persons own dumb fault for doing such things but think of the families who can see the physical and mental damage the alternatives are doing on the individual in question and the cohesiveness of the family unit as the individual slowly drifts into an ultimate death.

Ban them all, I say.

Ban them all? Ha. As long as homeopathy and other alternatives are used sensibly and as supportive treatments where possible, they are valuable additions in a lot of complaints and illnesses.

They need to be used properly however, and with an understanding of the limitations.
