		<description>What a ridiculous and somewhat FALSE post.

First fact - ovarian cysts do NOT always go away on their own. It depends on the type. Functional cysts can, abnormal cysts can&#039;t. You won&#039;t know what that means because you appear to have little knowledge on the subject so you may want to look it up. As a former sufferer of the latter, I have been treated with Homeopathy and to mine and my surgeons suprise seen a dramatic decrease in size of the cyst which in medical termns shouldn&#039;t happen. 

Homeopathy is a COMPLIMENTARY treatment, the clues in the name. Like many other COMPLIMENTARY treatments they are intended to COMPLIMENT other forms of treatment whether medical in nature or not.

Having seen Hilery myself, not ONCE has she ever suggested that the advices of medical doctors should be ignored. On the contrary, she uses her treatments to, guess what, COMPLIMENT medical treatment.

It is a fact that teh NHS is overstretched, that Doctors waiting rooms are full of patients many of whom could be &#039;self helping&#039; with PROVEN remedies. Blogs like this and people like you see it so black and white - either or ignoring the fact that remarkably, nature has many, many remedies yet they are labelled as &#039;quakery&#039; by people like you who seem to be so motivated to discredit them. 

Penicillin - mold
Arnica (a homeopathic remedy) - prescribed by DOCTORS, yes real life, sane, medical DOCTORS for useage with bruising
St Johns Wort - As effective, if not more that antidepressants and with FAR less side effects.

Were you never told as a child to find a dock leaf for a nettle sting?  It works!

The point is homeopathic remedies, herbal remedies, accupuncture whatever DOES work. Its just a shame that people like you are closed to a world of additional support and have left themselves in the hands of the &#039;extremely trustworthy and ever so caring&#039; drug companies - good luck!

P.S. the venomous post above does hint at &#039;liver stagnation&#039; you might want to get your Liver Qi looked at ..........</description>

		<description>Very good article.  Nice one.

On the point of no physical examination that you raise.  It must be the case that the victim comes in with a diagnosis in hand?  The description given doesn&#039;t lend itself to a diagnosis having been performed.

Therefore we can say, based upon Croft&#039;s quotations, that this practitioner/perpetrator, relied upon someone else&#039;s diagnosis, as described by the patient.  Doctor could&#039;ve been wrong, Patient could&#039;ve been poorly informed or a bad communicator and so on.  So quite apart from the lovely fresh water that was prescribed (actually probably not that fresh) this practitioner relied on hearsay evidence to prescribe.

The more I think about it the more my naturally harmonious vibrations ring dischordant with the interference of this aura/energy imbalance</description>
