This is more to discuss why so many of these are gaining popularity in recent years. Are people tired of doctors and the problems that come about using these remedies.
Why do you think they wont do clinical studies on homeopathic things? Is it because the results can vary so much? Why if all these were so good were they not keeping people from living past forty in the time when these were what the doctors/shamans/healers were giving out.
I love homeopathic remedies because they are often a boost to what your body can already do. They also have way less side effects (some homeopathic stuff still has side effects.) and tend to do a better job.
Anti-biotics are used way to often your body is the ultimate weapon for most things. The things it cant defeat are often still hard to defeat with modern medicine or we only come in contact to do to our current ways of life.
When you have a cold its not time to go get an anti-biotic for most cases your doing more harm then good. But people go to there doctors asking for them so they can get better quicker which is foolish because you lose alot of your immunity on them. I Had to be on some strong ones once . I came off it i got so sick funny huh
