Well I would say that in general the checks and balences work pretty good here. No doubt there are a few bruised egos from time to time and I for one like to see a harmonious approach between homeopaths. I definitly think it is a good thing to remember that this is a discussion board not a clinic - (although it seems clinic is its use)as such I don't think anyone should be offended if asked for their reasoning. Certainly Ben,John,and Andy do give valid and good reasoning based on knowledge of the materia medicas and questioning a patient is never going to hurt. I think that there is a bit of impatience as far as changing remedies goes but not too bad really. So my advice to parents is there's help here but use your judgement! Ask for others info if you need to. You'll get it. Peace Govi
