Dear Barb,
I believe it's 100,000 people a year who die from correctly prescribed Rx drugs. And I think the piece of homeopathic history you're trying to remember is that the AMA was founded to defeat homeopathy; but, yes, our remedies are approved over-the-counter drugs; it's because there used to be homeopaths in high places in the government.
A good place to go to find statistics on the horrid record of Rx drugs is
www.alternativemedicine.com
and click on the essays of Burton Goldberg. Do you know who he is? Aside from being the publisher of Alternative Medicine Magazine, he's a real activist, speaking before congressional committees and very out-spoken.
What's the average age of this support group that they've never heard of alternative medicine?
Well, Barb, arm yourself with the facts, and then get back in there and fight!!! We'll be right behind ya!
You go, girl!
