In light of the recent attacks on Homeopathy I want to share a wonderful article written by Dana Ullman on the Huffington Post
There has been an increasingly vocal objection to Homeopathy being fueled and funded by the pharmaceutical industry as they attempt to shut down an affordable and effective form of medicine.
Especially if you're a sceptic, do some real research, find out how many hundreds of studies in vitro, on plants, and on people, have shown Homeopathy to be effectice. Even Darwin (in his recently published letters) showed with his own experiments on plants that Homeopathy has an effect.
If you've been helped by Homeopathy Please support Patients and Practitioners of homeopathy in the UK by signing this declaration at Homeopathy Worked For Me. The UK's national health plan currently covers homeopathic treatment and citizens are at risk of loosing coverage. Even if you don't believe in Homeopathy this is about freedom of choice.

The Lancet Can Be Wrong
A few years ago the Lancet published a meta-analysis of Homeopathic trials which claimed to show that Homeopathy is ineffective. Most people within the Homeopathic community were appalled to see how poorly the trials were chosen for this analysis.
There is a bias in medical publications against publishing anything that may prove that Homeopathy works. Often only those papers showing that homeopathy fails are published. In most of these trials Homeopathy is shown to be ineffective because they lack the individualization essential to proper homeopathic prescribing.
The following link takes you to a press release regarding 2 recent studies explaining that the Lancet paper was flawed.
