Lisa,
Thanks for copying all of this!
Divina,
I did a quick check on the website. It seems that it is from homeopaths, not by allopaths as you suspected.
I actually don't perceive it as an attack on homeopathy, rather as an eye opener to some / reminder to others. Which is needed, as you say yourself. We do need to hear about cases like that, if only to remind us of the respect that homeopathic remedies deserve.
As for the presumption about the public opinion, I would say that at least for Germany (where the website is made), this is quite accurate. Even though homeopathy is much more widespread there, those who don't use it think it can't do any good nor any harm.
I agree that the case in questio is definitely bad medicine under any standards and you're probably right in suspecting the practitioner was an allopath - but even then he should have suspected that something was going on.
Kind regards,
Karin
