I've used homeopathy here in the UK and it does work. However, I seriously doubt any GP here would refer someone to a homeopath unless already suggested by the patient. Different strokes for different folks you know? It's not for everyone.

Personally though, I prefer acupuncture, which is also available via the NHS.

Just because you got ill, used homeopathy and then got better, does not mean that homeopathy does work. Not even if the same happened to your uncle and your brother in law.

Science is currently the best way we have to look at the world from a not that subjective perspective. Homeopathy does no better than the placebo effect. If something claims to 'work'.. then I expect it to 'work' better than a placebo. Homeopathy is not better. Not a bit.

Believe me, I would be very happy if some of the pseudo science stuff would work. Live would be great!

Well, you should prefer acupuncture. It's a much more effective placebo.
