Really man if your modern quackery was so effective then why are people flocking in droves to other treatments?

Probably for the same reason they prey for a limb to grow back. Same result as using homeopathy unfortunately. ;)

I worked for one of these practices and the answer to the question you pose is obvious: people are desperate and will try anything to improve their quality and quantity of life. Very few arrive at those doors without having exhausted all that modern medicine has to offer, and the prognosis is always poor. What homeopathy does offer is hope at a price, but if death was the prognosis, in my direct experience, death is what followed despite the "treatments".

It may seem attractive to "have and open mind" about these practices, but the reality I witnessed is that they're just another burden on someone already stretched to breaking point.

It is indeed obvious. If you're expecting a miracle after modern medicine has failed you're in the wrong place. That is not what homeopathy is in the business for. It seems a lot of people have exactly this expectation. Set up for failure has never been more apt. But then you have your true successes, people who keep coming back because it worked effectively or more effectively than modern medicine, backed up by studies.

If all you were seeing is people stretched to breaking point you must have been wearing a blindfold because no business can exist without repeat customers. ;)

I didn't say that's all I saw. What do you expect from a quick post? You presume too much and assume the loophole you see can only be filled by the one thing you can think of.

Well sorry but it sounded like you were saying homeopathy is filled with people that modern medicine failed which homeopathy also fails. Apologies if you were not using this to say that homeopathy doesn't work.
