(13,529 posts)I read about his support for homeopathic medicine years ago.
I have a friend who is all into homeopathic medicine. She sees a homeopath for all her ailments. It confuses me because she's genuinely a really smart woman, but this is her jam. I have to give her and her homeopath credit where it's due, though. Her homeopath encouraged her to get the covid vaccine. (She also suggests vitamin supplements where there is some evidence of them working. Vitamin D, Probiotics, Fish Oil for mild anxiety. So maybe the practitioner is actually a naturopath and not a homeopath....)
But she does prescribe homeopathic allergy "solutions." (My word in quotes, not theirs.) And I just blink my eyes at how she can believe that NOTHING will cure her allergies.
ETA: It's clear after reading this thread that a lot of people "defending" homeopathy don't actually understand what homeopathy is. They equate is with supplements and alternative medicines. Homeopathic medicine is a very specific thing that doesn't encompass supplements and acupuncture.
