Hello dear dr,
Aude sapare!
Most of the Homoeopaths are insensitive to any comment/criticism on their system. Many senior Homoeopathic drs are just busy in making wealth, than creating better awareness about this modern scientific medicines( Homoeopathy). It is very sad to note that Homoeopaths are not united, instead they blame each other about the methodology of practice. This is the hightime where all the Homoeopaths should come under one roof and seriously discuss about these issues and prepare a manual for the common man about this wonderful system of medicine called Homoeopathy.
I wish you all the very best for your thought provoking article and kindly continue your contribution in making this system a human friendly one.
best wishes,
Dr Anand Kumar.

Very good article! a very few herbal medicines, Strophanthus, Dioscorea etc contains phytosteroids which morphologically similar to corticisteroids and anabolic steroids. These are the secondary metabilities of those plants. So while prescribing these type of drugs,in material doses, doctors should be careful.

Good, It is a right answer for many scientifically tempered prejudice people to correct their biased idea about this great system of medicine. In India only 10-15 % population is aware about this system. It is estimated that by the year 2050, 50 % of the Indians will be using Homoeo medicines
