Kevin,
As a homeopathic physician I am SHOCKED by this report. Every homeopath that I know uses Aloe and Lycopodium for colon cancer. Witch hazel? That’s simply malpractice.

This is what licensure and medical boards are supposed to help prevent. It seems to me that it is incumbent on the medical board to strip physicians practicing homeopathy of their medical license rather than allow this to happen.

I’ve reported this sort of practice to our state naturopathic board, when done by a naturopath to one of my patients.
It was ignored.
I’m the evil male politically incorrect MD, picking on the lady that gives flower potions.

If you’re a homeopath, you’re not a bloody physician.

The sweet spot from which to practice medicine is quackery. A patient sues, and the jury thinks “So what do you expect going to a chiroquacker, homeoquacker, naturoquacker.” Where the treatment philosophy is itself patently unscientific and founded on unreason and untruth, what standard, other than popularity among your fellow quacks, can you possibly be held to? The neat part is, that the very fact of it’s novelty and anti-establishment position will enhance the placebo response in a certain subset of patients, giving you some glowing successes to keep you going. It is the very type of impressionistic histrionic personality style that accept the fuzzy logic of these things that is most capable of strong placebo responses.

Why do you think they always call themselves “homeopathic physician” instead of “homeopath”. Chiropractice physician” instead of “chiropractor” –it is all to steal the respect that real physicians have earned over 2500 years of hard and painful slogging out of ignorance with the slow pace of progress of empirical science. Even while rejecting that science and the hard thinking and heavy responsibility in favor of the easy way out of magical thinking–essentially shamanism.

Shamanism?
You mean “patient told me they were hurt in the accident (which I have no capability to actually analyze), therefore the accident was the cause of [insert junk diagnosis here such as railway spine, fibromyalgia, etc.]” type shamanism?
For all of the advances in the field of medicine, the post hoc ergo propter hoc (and relying on the assumed veracity and accuracy of a litigant)causation model is akin to the quackery of the chirofrauders and the other hucksters of the world.
