Medicine, not witchcraft!

• I READ with horror your article (Witchcraft hospital for the chop? July 1).

Homeopathy is not witchcraft.

If the chairman of the BMA’s junior doctors committee were take the time and use his scientific mind to investigate the subject and look at the facts he may find that his statement is a result of pure prejudice.

All the doctors at the hospital are fully qualified medical doctors who have done extra training so that they can include homeopathy in the service they offer.

What an insult to them to suggest that they have wasted their time.

The first GP I had when I moved to Camden Town was a qualified homeopath.
I have sufficient personal proof of the fact that homeopathy works for me to believe in it.

After giving birth to my first child my body was in a complete state of shock, trembling and extremely sensitive.

After the birth of my subsequent two children I experienced the same symptoms but took a homeopathic remedy which worked immediately.

If you think it is just a placebo effect, why do farmers give their cows homeopathy to prevent an eye condition which is very costly to treat with antibiotics?

One of the main advantages of homeopathy is there are no side-effects but it can help to deal with the side effects of other medical treatments.

My husband was helped when he was given a remedy by a homeopathic doctor to counteract the effects of radiotherapy which he was receiving when he had cancer.

The two systems can work very well together. It is a very sophisticated form of medicine, each person is treated according to their particular body/character type.

There are remedies for all sorts of medical problems, such as nausea, constipation.

Are doctors so under spell of the drug companies who make millions that they are unwilling to support a form of medicine which is not involved with large companies seeking to make a profit? Maybe that is the root of the problem.
