BLOGGER'S VIEWS
This judgement is an epoch-making judgement.

*Homoeopathic College lecturers and physicians do not know that the medicines they administer do not contain any medical substance and consequently the patients are left to the mercy of the internal curative powers of the body. If the body's natural resistance and curative powers awaken before the patient dies, a cure takes place. This, the homoeopathic practitioners triumpet as their success.

*The District Collectors and Ministers in India distribute doses of homoeopathic drugs, for prevention of swine flu, bird flu etc., little knowing that the so called potencies do not contain any medical substances at all.

*A person who wears a talisman and a patient who consumes homoeo medicines get the same benefit.
