Homeopathy is Europe's leading alternative medicine

A number of surveys have shown that homeopathy is the most popular alternative medicine in Europe.
Despite considerable skepticism for homeopathic medicine a growing number of people rely on it exclusively over conventional treatments. In India over 100 million people use it as their sole medical care.
Numerous surveys over the past 150 plus years have confirmed that people who seek homeopathic treatment tend to be considerably more educated than those who don't (1). What is not as well known is the fact that homeopathic medicine is the leading "alternative" treatment used by physicians in Europe...and growing numbers of the citizenry.

Homeopathy works here is the proof

I tried homeopathic treatment for my psoriasis when I was younger and it worked really well, however I think this was down to having a chemical-free cream to relieve the itching and talking through my problems with someone, what with psoriasis being stress-related. I know that scientific results have proved inconclusive, but whether placebo or not it does work for a lot of people.

No it really doesn't, it is junk sold to the naive. Youtube videos are not even evidence, never mind claiming they trump scientific evidence. Not inconclusive at all, they absolutely have been shown to complete BS by science, hence homoeopathy is consider a pseudo-sciecne and like all health related pseudo-science it is considered to be dangerous. Scientifically speaking it has been shown to be an absolute pile of rubbish, but basic common sense could figure that with this rubbish. Can't be any worse than the junk they try to pass off as coffee now! Says it all when McDonalds beat them in blin... [More]
