As a pediatric nurse, you should know that what the parents expect
influences the outcome of the treatment of kids, even if the kids are really
little. Likewise with pets.

However, you have yet to provide citations to the scientific literature that
shows that homeopathic medicine works or a scientific framework that
supports that it can work.

An Alternative to Ritalin
Homeopathy as a Highly Effective Treatment for ADD


In a word, bull****. The ONLY condition that homeopathy is useful for is
dihydrogen monoxide deficiency syndrome.

Do you even have a clue as to what AD/HD is?

Oh, and why do you hate living children?

I don't believe in homeopathy, but there are non-drug
treatments for ADHD that really work, at least for some
people. (Drug treatments don't work for everyone either.)


There is no good evidence that homeopathy works for anything.


INcorrect. It cures dihydrogen monoxide deficiency syndrome.


You're absolutely correct that there are non-drug treatments that work well
for ADHD. Behavioral treatments where kids learn to control themselves are
often very helpful.

Sorry I gave the wrong URL before -- I left off the s.
For alternative treatments for ADHD, see for example:

While there are some good ideas on that site regarding *managing* AD/HD
symptoms, there is NOTHING on that site that cures it.

Yes, for those of us who have an open mind and have examined homeopathy,
we know that it is the modern day form of witch doctoring.

You neglected to answer my question:

Please name the toxins one should detoxify from, and show that they are
the cause of AD/HD.

Now, please do learn how to respond to a question. Didn't they teach you
that in witch doctor school?

And of course the bias of the person evaluation the treatment plays no
role whatsoever. I can see why you're a homeopath, reality is such a
difficult concept compared to that.
