Homeopathy for the Voice: a hot cup of herbal tea with honey and lemon.

As for homeopathic "drugs": ARE there any double-blind studies that show they work? Nobody seems to have mentioned this yet. Probably just an oversight.

As for the placebo effect: Hey, if it works, it works. Most wart cures are placebos, and because warts eventually go away on their own, there's no knowing what WOULD have happened if you didn't try the cure. If I had an intractable problem which didn't respond to any proven therapy, I'd probably start trying alternative therapies too. And if one worked, I'd be pretty happy about it and probably tell all my friends, double-blind study or no. This is human nature.

What bugs me is when the rhetoric on either side gets so shrill that all you hear is tone of voice and not content.
