As always: natural does not mean safe. There are lots of herbs that are toxic for humans! And I believe food and drug administrations do not check herbs for safety or efficacy, so beware what you take (or sell, in your case)! I intend to write something about this in the following days so stay tuned and I would welcome any comments.

“Do not,please,waste your time showing your ignorance”

Please point to me where exactly I showed some form of ignorance?

Also, please point to me the evidence that homeopathic are “powerful medicines”.

You do realize that you are demonstrating EXACTLY the same line of apologetic and unscientific defense for quack medicine, don’t you? That is:

  • First, you do not in any way address the issues highlighted in this post.

  • Second, you are attacking me personally without any justification whatsoever.

  • Third, you are appealing to anecdotes and using celebrities as evidence to your claims! Many celebrities also believe in astrology. Hey, with your reasoning perhaps we should allow astrologists in NHS?

I think it is clear who demonstrated ignorance and irrational thought here.]]> By: trevor artingstoll http://www.isaiadis.com/2008/06/11/more-on-quack-medicine-in-high-street-shops/comment-page-1/#comment-6577 trevor artingstoll Tue, 26 Aug 2008 14:52:53 +0000 http://www.isaiadis.com/2008/06/11/more-on-quack-medicine-in-high-street-shops/#comment-6577 HM the Queen is reputed to make five million pounds from her multitudinous assets EVERY DAY. So she is never short of the very best medical advice available on the planet. NEVER! No allopathic doctor (look it up) has been allowed in Buck House or any other Royal Residence for almost a hundred years. Only homeopathic doctors are allowed to prescribe for Her Majesty. This is why there are two ROYAL HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITALS in UK. Lord Moran was Winny the Drunk's (aka Sir Winston Churchill) personal physician throughout the last war. He was a homeopath and these powerful medicines kept Winny sober enough to win the war. Do not,please,waste your time showing your ignorance. Cyberspace has enough horseshit littering it as it is.
