"Why dont you do homeopathy at this surgery? she asked. I dont normally get involved in arguments about homeopathy, because people who want to argue in its favour are, by definition, people who cannot manage a rational argument, but she was provoking me. "Because its a crock of shite," I told her.

For a few hundred dollars, some extra training sometimes provided by the board's president himself, for a fee and a test on the principles of homeopathy, an M.D. or D.O. who likely can't secure another medical license can get a license to practice homeopathic medicine in the state of Arizona. You'll be banned from some procedures, but for the most part, you can go back to practicing medicine diagnosing patients, prescribing drugs, even performing minor surgeries.

We are interested to bring similar medical practices in Spain, Natalia Eres, a clinical oncologist from Barcelona, told IANS.

Until recently quite a lot of NHS primary care trusts were beginning to develop some local NHS complementary medicine facilities. I think there's been a bit of a reversal in this trend because some people have said there's not enough money to buy conventional treatment let alone complementary treatment which isn't proven. But the fact is, the people who need complementary therapies are going to cost the NHS money anyway - for drugs and outpatients appointments. In many ways having a local complementary therapies unit is very cost effective for the kinds of conditions that conventional medicine doesn't deal well with.

In fact the grapes are normally sold in the local market at Rs 15 per kilo, the grapes that we grew were sold at Rs 18 per kilo.

An array of Homeopathic preparations including Leopard's bane, White arsenic, Witch-hazel and Foxglove have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, a Ucs News Special investigation shows.

The days are getting longer and warmer, but the flu season is still thriving and making plenty of adults and children miserable. If you're thinking of trying a homeopathic remedy to treat the flu or any other illness, Consumer Reports recommends sticking with conventional medicines.

ometime ago, I wrote that my "conversion" from a "hard core" pharmacist to alternative medicine was due to a miraculous cure of a skin rash. The rash had failed to respond to the best of modern medicine for almost two years. Then, I was cured in one session by a homeopath. Because of this, homeopathy holds a special place in my heart. The more I studied it the more I became impressed with its history and worldwide penetration.

Born and brought up in Bhadrak, Nanda was determined and sincere in studies since his childhood. He evinced interest in homeopathy during his college days and did research work in the same field. The discovery in homeopathy helped him to know the reason for the slow but sure actions of the homeopathic medicines. Later, he left a flourishing career in chemistry to take up the cause of research work. His initial efforts were to develop the Quantum theory.

The turning point for Emily came when she was aged 17. Having dropped out of school she was involved in a serious car crash and for 10 years struggled with unbearable pain often unable to lift even a teacup or walk without sticks.

Within one month the pain had gone and her life changed again.

We are increasingly dismayed about yet another huge worry facing farmers in the form of bluetongue disease. We therefore read the articles and editorial on this subject in the current issue of Cumbria Farmer with great interest. Local farmers must feel desperate indeed to learn that there is a shortage of vaccines to help prevent this terrible disease in their animals. However, there is a safe and inexpensive second option which stands every chance of helping, and which is currently being ignored. This is homeopathic medicine, and every farmer should know about it.

Though Dr Shah was trained in homeopathy in Mumbai, he derived his inspiration from a Greek doctor, George Vithoulkas, who once travelled all over the world spreading the gospel of homeopathy. This convinced the young Shah in 1984 to start a clinic in a 120 sq ft room with ambitions to build a global practice over time. But with little money, no contacts and a base in an obscure corner of Mumbai, he didnt know how he was going to spread homeopathy around the world.

Heres one example: the British government is now introducing standards of competence in homeopathy, aromatherapy, reflexology and other alternative therapies, in order to protect the public from inadequately trained practitioners. That sounds nice, at first glance. But what, precisely, does it mean to be competent in a system of pseudo-medicine that has never been demonstrated to be efficacious beyond the placebo effect? Perhaps for its next act, the NHS will introduce bloodletting and trepanation, duly guaranteed by rigorous standards of competence for practitioners.

"It's extremely dilute," said the Rev. Lesley Hall, a longtime homeopathic advocate who leads the Cookeville Homeopathic Study Group. "Say you wanted to make an herbal tincture of hypericum. You take one drop of that into 99 drops of water, then shake, or 'succuss,' it very hard, and place one drop of that into 99 more drops of water, succuss it very hard, then one drop of that into 99 more drops of water. And you do that 30 times for 30C, a standard homeopathic dosage."

Himesh called his mother as soon as he reached the hotel. He trusts his mother the most and always carries homeopathic medicines whenever he travels out of Mumbai. As his mother knows a lot about homeopathy, she told him which medicine will make him feel better. Himesh recovered quickly due to his mother's advice.

Another quasi-religion - a belief system that requires faith without evidence - is homeopathy. Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst are two academics who have a book out next month called Trick Or Treatment Bantam. It's a dispassionate look at alternative medicines from aromatherapy to qijong and shiatsu. Not surprisingly, they conclude that the only real value of homeopathy is as a placebo, and that the people who proclaim its virtues would mostly have got better anyway.
