      In my opinion it is a scandal that such treatments are offered on the NHS. The fact that these “treatments” have no scientific backing, are not tested in clinical trials and are not regulated makes then ripe for exploitation by unsrupulous people looking to make a quick buck from desperate people.

      Homeopathy is fake-science and goes against everything I stand for.

      I completely disagree with homeopathy. Allowing people to believe that they are taking something to help them when there is no scientific backing showing that it will have any effect is cruel. It gives people a false sense of hope and can delay or even endanger people who have something wrong with them particularly when if they were to take proper medicines they could recover.

      Most chemists I know are strongly against homeopathy and find it an insult to the work that we do.

      I am not a fan of homeopathy. It is not really scientific and no real research has been conducted to see if it actually works/is safe.
