Are we talking strictly homeopathy or other alternative treatments included?

At the moment I would pretty much try anything that wasn't gutter orientated.
Um...

[serious] Well, don’t try homeopathy as that is definitely shite – see also raki I know that is shite. Mrs Barman had good results from acupuncture tho and I thought that was shite. [/serious]

I hope you can appreciate how difficult it was for me to post that without resorting to the gutter?  evil:

I find modern medicine is fine. lets face it if you book a GP's appointment these days then by the time it arrives you will be either dead or cured. Result either way really.

I agree normally it is for me too. It's just this whole rundown, no immune system, knackered thing is beginning to get to me. I never used to get ill and the last few years I get everything going and worse than everyone else, it's pathetic.

As I said, homeopathy is scientifically proven in blind tests to be shite – the solutions that they use are just sooooo weak that they can’t possibly work. I’m sure there can be a placebo effect but now I’ve told you that it can’t work you prolly won’t get that either.

Same with Raki – waving your arms about simply can’t work… Raki ‘masters’ are able to cure you over the telephone for fucks sake! I’ll PM you some more…  whistle:

For now!

This seems as good a place as any to ask.

Has anyone ever had any homeopathic treatment?


Yes ..... Why?
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

My sister uses echinacea.

I have used ginseng in the past.

Speaking of the past, have you ever had glandular fever?
