Well, Alice, my own experience with homeopathy has been very good.

The respiratory infections that I mentioned above tended to feature an uncontrollable cough that kept me awake nights for two or three weeks at a time. I went to many doctors over the years, including several nationally known specialists, and took an amazing number of drugs--some of which were dangerous, some of which tasted bad, and all of which were ineffectual.

After all those years of misery, I discovered that an off-the-shelf homeopathic cough syrup, which cost $2.98 at the time, made the cough disappear. If it was the placebo effect, I'd like someone to explain why none of the conventional meds I'd had up to then provided it.

I could go on, and give you lists of common, everyday conditions, like burns, sprains, stings, and headaches that respond quickly to homepathic remediation but tend to be unaffected by conventional treatments--or I could just point out that homeopathy it proved effective during influenza pandemic of 1918--homeopathic hospitals, such as the National Homeopathic Hospital in Washington D.C, reported no fatalities, at a time when
other hospitals were losing a third, or even more of their flu patients. I need not mention
that, even now, flu epidemics are still a threat.
