Two more issues came to my mind:-

Homeopathic limitations:- It is indicated that;

"Does homoeopathy have any limitations?
Yes, like any other system of medicine, homeopathy also has it's own limitations.For eg.a surgical problem which has progressed far beyond its initial stages might not respond to homoeopathy.Similarly some sudden life threatening situations like heart attacks,paralytic strokes,diabetic comas etc. might have to be initially treated with allopathy, till the patient is out of danger. Besides, there is still a debate on whether some specific infections should be treated by allopathy or homoeopathy eg.TB,typhoid & malaria. "

In view of above should we consider homeopathy and modern conventional system are complementary or supplementry to each other or just homeopathy is dependant on allopathy due to its limitations?

Either it can be true that there are some limitations of any system and one system may not be "absolute & complete" so other system is needed OR prevailent atmosphere and popularity is need to be considered. One adverse outcome in homopathy and other CAMs can be accounted whereas several adverse outcomes may not be accounted in comparetively more acceptable and popular conventional system.

In such thought, how adversities from homeopathic treatments can be compared with conventional system esp. in life threatening and serious conditions?

Non-pure medicine based treatments--surgeory, supplements, replacements, food manipulations, measuring/testing technologies, excercises, classical prescriptions...all other than real medicines devloped by conventional system may not be a property of conventional system, so common to all system, because if CAMs would had given chances and means, mostly they would had also added these other technologies than pure medicines to their system.

Better carrier:- Water, alcohol and lactose are considered as carreirs of homeopathic effects. In many scientific discussions, "water regain its origional strucure/shape after changing its structure soon or water/liqids are unable to maintain changed structure for proloned time" was made an issue in considering validity of storing homeopathic informations. Probably, being liquid, alcohol may also behave similarily.

On lactose side, being solid, its different inter/intramolecular structural changes and particle sizes changed during potentization process specifically, can be maintained for prolonged time.

Thogugh homeopathic effects are observed and experiances with water and alocohol used when carreies but in view of scientic understandings and validity, which substance out of water, alcohol and lactose can serve as a better carrier substance for carrying and validating homeopathic effects, truely and scientifically?
