Recently I wrote on this site a letter you can send to your MPs, urging them to support the campaign to remove homeopathy from the NHS. If you haven’t sent the letter yet, please do! I also sent this letter out as an email, to everyone who signed up for updates on the 10:23 Campaign site. Inevitably, some interested parties on the site were homeopaths. Which means I get entertaining and enlightening feedback – awesome!

Here’s one of my recent favourites, with my response. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did (for full clarity, I’ve not corrected any grammar, presentational issues, and to be clear I’ve not missed a word of what I received):

Why the “fight against Homeopathy” if you think it doesnt work? Homeopathy is safe, and inexpensive.It is in the interests of multi-national drug companies to suppress homeopathy because it is effective and doesnt have side-effects. Check out France and Germany. Also check out the history books where you will find “witch-hunt” and  “witchcraft” referring to suppression of Americans in the 1950′s.Read Doctorow’s “The book of Daniel” :Berthold Brecht and Arthur Millers  “Crucible” .

Your campaign is targeting  well-trained practitioners who are unable to make a living, largely because of adverse publicity.I am wondering about  the business interests of Simon and other leaders of your campaign, and whether there may be involvment with any drug companies.If so I would politely ask any of you to declare this, please.Last week the World Health Organisation were exposed:-members of the committee who upped the status of swine flu to pandemic, were found to have business interests with the multi -national pharmaceutical company who produced the vaccine.The bill for vaccine cost Great Britain £1.2 Billion, and most of it was refused and unused.There has been no pandemic.

Pick your way through that one, if you will! Well, I did, and here’s my response Read the rest of this entry »
