This thread is purely based on the fact that they are thinking of removing Homeopathy from the NHS. Personally I think that will be very sad day as it is taking away the rights of those people who have found Homeopathy works for them, the opportunity to see a Homeopath, who by the way are all qualified doctors, and the chance to be treated for free. I think that the medical industry and Homeopathy have a lot to learn from eachother. There have been some amazing discoveries in medicine and doctors and nurses in the Emergecy Services - Brilliant, where would we be without them, but with all things in life it is never quite black and white....why there is a whole rainbow out there! Even you Hugenot in amongst your rantings made a good point "that you should obtain informed consent and that the patients rights should be respected" I totally agree and that works in both cases whether you seek medical or any form of alternative health. It is always your choice and so therefore people should have the freedom to make that choice. I am not here to convince you that Homeopathy works, debating or having an arguement about a choice that is very personal to every individual out there, after all it is your body, your health, your life. However if you think that "The Powers that be" are going to stop there with taking things away from us, limiting our freedom of choice and not just with regards to health, you are very sadly mistaken.
