I’m not familiar with homeopathy as first aid. Could you fill me in on what things are available? Thanks! Also, check out the discussion on the comments of this page, http://www.illiteratewithdrawal.com/2008/02/homeopathy-quackery-or-a-key-to-the-future-of-medicine/

Comparing surgical long term surgical outcomes is not the allopathic analogue to homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy by tradition has been treating like with like. How does one go about treating a scrap or broken bone in homeopathy? Please show me the science that backs up homeopathic remedies. Allopathic medicine is backed by billions in research and testing in an attempt to show statistical differences in treatments. With so much money on the line why wouldn’t the large pharmaceutical companies endorse and produce homeopathic medicine if it worked as well as a few people say it does?

As far as “scientific evidence” for standard medicine, there has never been convincing evidence that, for example, bypass surgery is beneficial long-term, and the old saw advanced by medicos about diet and disease — high carb, low fat — was never supported by anything empirical. Thankfully that gargantuan mistake, responsible as it has been for probably the worst public health crisis of the last fifty years, is being abandoned — even by some M.D.s!!
