Can anybody suggest the name of a good homeopath in London?

I am fed up with antibiotics and want to try an alternative.

Many thanks!

I'll shake some water and sell it to you if you like.

Grin seeker!

I'm not a believer but I do know a really lovely homeopath in south London if that's any good to you, oinkyoink.

Jan Perivolas in N8 is amazing!
And to all those sceptics.....funny how homeopathy works on animals!

Gemd81 · 25/11/2011 18:09

I know one near esher Surrey.
Let me know if u want details.

Mischiefmummy, when you consider stuff like this and this I can only conclude that animals are as susceptible to the placebo effect as we humans are.

Of course it doesn't work on animals. It works on the humans who observe the animals. And it doesn't work on children either - it works on the adults who look after the children and ascribe feelings and beliefs to them.

I think you are using the word 'sceptic' wrongly.

but the hypothesis that water has a memory of substances that used to be in it is interesting. So the water must have a memory of glass bottles, copper water pipes, the fish in the sea it used to be, and the poo that was in it when it used to be in a sewer.

Or maybe ir's just some silly idea.

Grin @ pigletjohn.

sorry op, I just came on to read the responses to the trigger phrase 'good homeopath' :)

Alfuy · 27/01/2012 15:37

Maybe contact one of the homeopath pharmacies in London & ask their advice?

No such thing as a good homeopath.

They are either deluded or they are cynically taking your money when they know they are lying to you.

I've met some lovely homeopaths who genuinely believed what they did was helping.

I really hoped it would help me. But it didn't.

As for animals- well, the logic is that they would have got better anyway- you can't double blind trials with animals, and cut out the natural recovery possibility too.

Hi Amelia,

Of course you can do trials with double-blind & placebo to see whether homeopathy helps animals!

It was a pilot study with far too small a sample size to demonstrate anything unfortunately.

ameliagrey · 28/01/2012 20:51

well that's the issue isn't it- too small a sample.
