Dear Chris,

By posting on the internet, Barb's daughter just got cured of Pink Eye. A case of intolerable morning sickness recently got cured here. There's no doubt that full cases rarely get taken and this is not an ideal situation, to be sure, but I've also noticed that people who post here often report outrageous and reckless prescribing by the "professional" homeopaths they've been to see. This happens so often that I'm wary about recommending that people see a "homeopath" as an alternative to "seeing" us.

Also, the people who visit here often say, "Please don't tell me to see a homeopath, I can't afford one/there are none nearby", etc.

Consider Rajan, for instance, who has taken his son to at least 2 qualified homeopaths and neither one has been able to help. (But we have, on this BB, been able to help Rajan's mother who has kidney failure.)

The thing about the people who ask for help here is that they know they are getting help for nothing, and they know what that means. Nothing is guaranteed them. Even so, a lot of us here really try.

There are definite limitations. People don't know how to present a homeopathic case. It's frustrating. Do you have any ideas on how we can better assist people who ask for help here?
