- It's an old pattern: people with no hope will turn to anything for
- comfort. As medicine learns how to treat the conditions, homeopathy
- will retreat from them. Example-in-the-making: What is the homeopathic

- therapy for CF now under test is shown to work?
-
- And there is something to lose: money and time. Desperate people
- can bankrupt themselves and their dependents chasing rainbows, or
- waste precious months that might have increased their chances for
- survival.
