		<description>Eczema is one of the contraindications of childhood vaccinations.  It would be interesting to know whether this child was vaccinated or not.  A lot of homoeopaths support vaccination as it is prophylactic .

Please realise that many people choose not to vaccinate for ethical, moral and spiritual reasons.  For example, the rubella vaccine is cultivated on the cells of an aborted human foetus which is abhorrent to some people.  Also, year book statistics do not support the myth that vaccines caused the decline in diseases... improvements in living standards caused the majority of the decline (up to 90% for some diseases).</description>

		<description>Black Cat... show me your proof that homeopathy does not work. You idiot! I know it works. Well beyond placebo. Can you say you have that experience? If so, why don&#039;t you tell us all about it....

I thought so....

BTW, I am not a traditional homeopath, although I have used and prescribed homeopathic remedies with great success.

...oh, and my wife is a doctor.</description>

		<description>Who is the idiot Phil that wrote the blog? Stick to what you maybe know, and I say only maybe know.
( I haven&#039;t read any of your other blogs on &quot;Astronomy&quot;.)
Homeopathy does work. I am sure that you can find 100&#039;s if not 1000&#039;s of cases where maybe it did not help. I say it&#039;s more the fault of the practitioner. History has proven it works. To lay blame on homeopathy for some parent&#039;s deluded sense of what&#039;s right is so WRONG!
Modern medicine is full of faut paus. Drugs can and do kill. Does that mean they all don&#039;t work? It&#039;s a sad case, but for every failed case of homeopathy, I can find DOZENS of disasters due to allopathic drugs that are far more horrific. There is a middle ground. Unfortunately BIG PHARMA WANTS THE WHOLE PIE.
As health care practitioners, we all live &quot;First do no harm&quot;. Many Medical doctors have been brainwashed and have forgotten this major part of the Hippocratic Oath. I pray that as human beings we can overcome this.

		<description>How many kids have died from taking ADHD prescription drugs too? It&#039;s obvious the parents had issues about making good decisions and I would definately try prescription medicine for an ailement if the homeopathy wasn&#039;t helping. I have goats, by the way. I gave a remedy to a uncooperative goat who wouldn&#039;t get close to me. After several weeks, the goat started coming over to me and was much more friendly after that. In fact, she became my favorite goat. She was truly very stand off-ish. Animals don&#039;t understand about this stuff. Somehow it just works. But I&#039;d never turn down a prescription medicine if the homeopathy wasn&#039;t working. Those parents of the girl who passed away just didn&#039;t have any common sense. It wasn&#039;t the homeopathy&#039;s fault. You are only talking about one case here. What about all the kids who have died from complications of ADHD meds? Oh yes...and over 100,000 people die a year due to complications from medication/presciption drugs or surgeries every year.</description>
