Lisa,
I have a couple friends who have spent THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS on a couple "homeopath" types. Both found there were allergic to a zillion things, had leaky gut syndrome, and had to stop eating anything that was fermented because they were on the verge of death from candida. Of course, these doctors SOLD the medicaments they were told to take by the handful.
Eventually, both came to their senses...poorer but wiser. They are back to "regular" doctors now and less silly diets.
I can't agree more on the awful ties between the pharmaceutical industy and most doctors. My technique in dealing with the cabal is to research EVERYTHING that I take and then carefully try it myself watching very closely. I have seen some real DOOZIES being foisted on the public by the pharma industry and stupid, lazy doctors...but I think the homeo-supplement cabal is even WORSE. I'm sure many people have died from serious illness while being treated for years and YEARS for "leaky gut" or some other made up quackery!
If you theink "cholesterol" is overworked by the medical profession, you ain't seen NOTHIN' till you're exposed to the "everyone is dying of candida infection" silliness of homeopaths, nutriopaths, osteopaths and the other marginal "paths."
A couple visits can't hurt just for the experience but be ready to pull back before you get sucked into weekly visits and mucho dinero. (And watch out for the buzzwords...and his own vitamin line!

)
As for the precisely HOMEOPATHIC practitioners...those that give you a zillionth dilution of this, that, or the other herbal antagonist. That is PURE placebo effect. The dosages given have been shown to be effectively ZERO...that is, pure water (that they CLAIM retains a memory of the herb????) If you want to try it, buy the homeopathic remedy yourself at any big vitamin emporium for a few dollars and save the "pathetic" fee.
