- I don't think you can really improvise using the principles of homeopathy.
- The diluted amounts of substances found in homeopathic medicines are
- so small that they really can't be detected any longer.
-
- However, from reports I'm getting from my accupuncturist, AIDS is not
- the incurable disease the medical establishment would have us believe.
- I'm certain that both TCM and homeopathy can successfully treat it, however
- I can not provide case studies.
-
- Given the incredible toxicity of the anti-viral drugs they're using, I know
- that I would be pursuing alternative medicine if I had AIDS.
-
- Homeopathy, like TCM brings the bodies vital force back into balance, as
- opposed to trying to kill something in the body.
