"Wouldn’t it be amazing if the best of conventional medicine could be used side by side with the best of homeopathy and other CAM modalities? What a healthy world it would be! Sadly, in Australia this is not so, and it’s far from the first time homeopathy has come under fire from the conventional medicine camp, as well as those in government. Back in the days when homeopathy was first brought into being by Dr Hahnemann in the late seventeen hundreds, he faced incredible opposition from the apothecaries of the time who regularly gave high doses of substances such as mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic purgatives. It was believed such heroic treatments would rid the body of its evil humors and bring the person back to health. Of course we can only imagine how much extra suffering these so-called treatments caused, on top of the original complaints."

The point of homeopathy from the beginning was to not be so destructive and frantic in our treatments. It was to take our time, talk with and observe so that way we can find an even better way to treat in the future!
