Louise - You did the right thing. If the posters on this board only read what is addressed to them, they are not aware of what is happening with the abuse directed at those who have a difference of opinion. I feel this is a BB that encourages discussion. It doesn't matter if it is between Homeopaths or patients or just anyone trying to learn more about Homeopathy. Everyone should be able to participate and NOT made to feel inferior. We are all here for the same purpose. YES, some follow or use other forms of alternative therapies., Do any of us have the right to yell at someone because they need to take an Advil or Tylonol or give thier child a puff of inhalor? NO - patients are here to learn HOW to use Homeopathy. The only way they are going to learn is to have someone explain it to them and NOT push it down their throats like Allopaths have had the priveledge of doing all their lives. If the patients could learn from people like yourself, Ricky, Divina, Snoopy, Pat, David and the many more I've forgotten,, they would have a much easier time than trying to learn from one who yells and demands. I hope you will continue to give advise and encouage others to do the same. This BB will flourish - It has before - with GM's threats now gone, it will be even better! "herb"
