And it's by no means been "debunked" in Europe. It's used a great deal. They continue to try, however.

The AMA has been masterful at keeping Americans in their sole and very expensive care. Decent health care is unaffordable ($5 bandaids and dozens of expensive tests)...but that is because there is not whit of prevention in it. It's heroic medicine...it thrives on people being very sick, already losing organs, cancer, needing lots of drugs (not vitamins) and of course victims of accidents...etc.

Homeopathy is for many of us, the first responder. Much can be taken care of at that level. Be it placebo, hocus-pocus or whatever...if it works, and it does if you understand it, then no harm. And if it doesn't work that time, we have Modern Medicine, as well.

It does seem to work better/faster on children...whose conditions are likely simpler and not already complicated by other factors.
