Well, it's more about Switzerland than homeopathy Warpy Apr 2016 #1

The Swiss basically gave in to popular sentiment/alt provider advocacy. HuckleB Apr 2016 #2

I'm a little surprised by the Swiss. Maybe they'll restrict it to hypochondriacs. It works well for them.

Still, the homeopaths have to prove the efficacy of their treatment by 2017, or reimbursement goes away. The author of the OP was shown that reality earlier today, but says nothing about it here.

The OP is clearly aiming to promote homeopathy.

It's really just astounding to see this at DU. It's embarrassing.
