Thanks for your comment. You're right, ...@Katie<br />Thanks for your comment. You're right, it can be a very complicated subject, and for the purposes of spouting a rant I made it into a black and white subject.<br />Homeopathy works, but only as a placebo. The reason I have a problem with this is that it's degrading and patronising to the intelligence of the patient.<br />I am not a doctor, but I am someone who cares a lot Carmen D'Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790888814013457929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590748308448072285.post-77347916656172504262009-07-03T10:35:09.989+01:002009-07-03T10:35:09.989+01:00I thought this might be helpful:

Thank you for posting :-)<br /><br />My mother is actually a fully qualified massage therapist, and I can vouch for the efficacy of it, as she gives me free treatments every so often to help with my stress levels - I can say with confidence that they do help.
