It is a modality that has been in practice for hundreds of years and somehow hasn't been stamped out by the AMA or "Big Pharma" two entities that have a history of the relentless dismantling of their enemies.

I have seen it work in areas where folks couldn't afford the medical treatment offerred by the business of medicine. It has sustained and elevated quality of life in India for a very long time. It was a servicable utility before France and Germany had medical infrastructures.

It's everyday place is going away here in the US now that we have coherent laws and programs forming. It is my opinion that an attentive, caring homeopath can help a patient in ways that our still overworked and overpaid doctors just can't.

A well meaning homeopath can offer quality attention and referral for a price that not doctor can beat even with a mountain of subsidy.
