Homeopathic remedies are a myth.

They have not been given the testing that regular drugs go through, nor the screening. As much as you might want to find alternative cures, the drugs that are manufactured and regulated by the health community undergo quite the scrutiny, and are actually tested over a number of year. This does not happen with homeopathic or herbal remedies.

And asking a doctor about homeopathic medicine is akin to asking a barber to do something with your car? Are you nuts?

A doctor is (or should) be trained to know how things affect your body, and the mechanics by which they do it. There really is no better person to ask.

And really, if you call drugs a business (which they are), then at least I'd go with the business that is subject to countless tests and trials, rather than the one that is largely unregulated (homeopathic and herbal drugs/remedies are a business...just the same as regular manufactured ones).
