Homeopathic medicine is like Chiropractic medicine only more so.  Believe
in it if you will, but don't look too much for hard scientific evidence regard-
ing their methods, because there isn't any.  The reasons, in my opinion, that
these practicioners use unfamiliar "medicines" is that they are prohibited by
state and federal laws from prescribing the others.  There is a branch of
conventianal medicine (trained in medical schools) which has a similar
philosophy and is called "holistic" medicine.  I am sure I will be branded as
part of "establishment" medicine which wants to keep true cures from patients.
Look at the level and sophistication of training required and make your own
decision.
