The doctors prescribing the drugs don’t know they don’t do what they’re meant to. Nor do their patients. The manufacturers know full well, but they’re not telling.

It always amazes me that Homeopathy is mis-understood. Quantum Physics tells us that we are all made up of energy, so surely, dis-ease and indeed medicine for dis-ease would also be energetic in origin? In Homeopathy, we have a medicine that understands this and harnesses it's power. I don't know how it works scientifically but then I'm not sure we know how the Universe works yet either. But work it does.
MP and homeopathy champion David Tredinnick called for a new paradigm for health in the UK to tackle issues such as the carbon footprint of drugs and the deployment of complementary services across the NHS when he spoke during the Queen’s Speech debate in Parliament.
Reporting on a recent trip to India, David (right) highlighted the stark difference between the appreciation and use of homeopathy in that country with the UK.
“Delhi has 6,000 homeopathic clinics with 15,000 registered homeopathic practitioners, of whom 80% are doctors who have had five years’ training. They practise in almost every street,” he said.
“The homeopathic institute and teaching hospital in Calcutta treats some 2,000 patients a day, off season, and 3,400 in the hot season, with 100 doctors and postgrads on duty at any one time.
“Here in the UK, the tiny group of homoeopaths has been under constant pressure in recent years from so-called sceptics saying that there is no evidence.
“How can we possibly accept that there is no evidence when, in the whole of India, homeopathy has 300,000 practitioners, 250,000 of whom are doctors, treating an average 20,000 patients a day?”
David said that the current mood in the UK – particularly on issues such as waste plastics – could lead to a ‘tsunami of anger’ about patients not being allowed such services across the NHS.
“They provide solutions where antibiotics are failing, and they provide solutions to opiate addiction,” he said.
David’s contribution was likely to be one of the last speeches in the House; the Conservative member for Bosworth and long-term supporter of homeopathy stands down at the next General Election.
