Hi,

If you read my Making informed decisions thread you will see that I believe in rigorous, peer reviewed research that isn't skewed for profit or personal gain. Sadly everything I've read from the science/medical community suggests that the theory that underpins homeopathy does not adhere to those principles and is in fact hogwash.

That's not to say that there isn't anacdotal evidence that it works in some cases for some people, but if you read the link below, homeopathy has "abused it's placebo privileges".
As Mrs D says, be aware. I would go further and say don't waste your money.

PS We even have homeopathy treatments available at some hospitals alongside conventional medicine in our National Health Service in Britain! It is indeed a powerful and persuasive lobby group.
