[Margaret Pilkington]

Nicola is my daughter and I know that she has worked very hard to attain her degree in this subject(she will graduate later this year).
During her course she has studied the following subjects to degree standard : Anatomy and Physiology Disease and Diagnosis PathophysiologyContinuing Professional Development.
So to have people who know only what they have read in the popular press, denounce her as a 'quack' and the subject as 'quackery', is offensive to me.

I think it is up to individuals to take responsibility for their own health and well being.
If you do not wish to avail yourself of homeopathic remedies then that is fine by me, but to stop those who DO wish to use this means of ensuring their own well being is unjust.
Most people who use homeopathy will have researched the subject and sought out a registered homeopath(that is someone who registers with the Society of Homeopaths). someone who has to prove that they have continued to develop in their chosen field, to have their registration validated.
You are more at risk from a hurried GP than you are from a registered Homeopath.
