Alice, I'm afraid I feel that you are wrong, and side with M.Ted on this one. I had treatment from a homeopathic GP for many years (sadly no longer with us) and found a great deal of help from the remedies he prescribed (he was a nationally recognised qualified doctor, and very astute on diagnosis) ... I miss them these days!!
As to the persistent throat problems - been there, done that, more often than I care to admit. On one occasion, after seeing the doc I had a course of speech therapy, as severe stress was causing me difficulties. I reckon for a number of years that sick building syndrome had a real effect too (dry air from the air conditioning, poor circulation of air, due to messing about with room layouts which meant that the circulation system had not been designed for the new layouts ... not to mention the quick transmission of any airborn viruses to all staff!! These days I find that the reduced use of public transport as well has meant that I go down with less bugs!

Diva - hope that your visit to the doctor yields some results... and I can heartily sympathis. Back to the honey, cider vinegar and lemon for me at the moment!
