There was a case in Calgary recently where a child died from an infection
that could have been cured by antibiotics.
The Mother used homeopathic nostrums (water) as, inter alia, she didn't
trust "Big Pharma".
The trouble is that there are far too many out there that think like her.

Homeopathy has a place. Like getting rid of dandruff.
Real disease is better treated with real medicine.

I have found some homeopathic things to work. Others didn't do a thing.
Then again, maybe if I hadn't used the homeopathic things, the condition
would have cleared up on its own. I can't use most of them anyway since the
pill form almost always contains dairy. There are a few companies that make
sprays that you spray under the tongue. But they are only for certain
conditions and not usually conditions that I have.

I do think that antibiotics are widely overused but they also have their
place. Something like that is not something I would use homeopathy on. I
might use it on a skin rash though.
