I tried homeopathy for I think a couple of years a while ago.
The whole family used to go.
I didn't notice any improvement..the problem here being the practioner liked to treat when you were well to strengthen the immune system.
This practioner liked to see you all monthly even when well...so he never treated anything when we were actually sick.
I thought perhaps I was made worse with migraines etc.The kids reactions were interesting (if you step back and view coldly and scientifically only)
They were 6 and under at the time and they usually had negative reactions to the drops.This homeopath made up his own drops..he was also a lecturer at the college at the time and was also a herbalist...but I was only using the drops.
I ended up with so many bottles of drops.
Perhaps it was the practioner (like not as good as others) in the case of all treatments I guess and I admit I only tried the one homeopath.The kids , I thought, had some bad reactions to the drops. The most obvious one being lumps all over palms of hand and inside mouth. I gave up after that.
There was definitely an effect, but was it just contaminated drops?I do know the argument is that "stuff" has to come to the surface through the skin (I think) but I didn't think there was a problem to start with.
