Remedy Homeopathic negativity in the UK

That's not entirely true Tanya. Throughout history people have fought against injustices and immoral laws. Unfortunately, what we're up against are people with so much wealth and power that they make governments look small in comparison. Sometimes I wonder if government themselves aren't just a front!
Here in the UK, as you well know, the situation we are up against concerning the slandering of homeopathy by, of all people, a so-called Professor of Complementary Health, Edzard Ernst and his companion Simon Singh, has resulted in a group being formed to counteract media negativity of homeopathy. However, whether via the written word or the spoken word, a lot of thought must be put in to it because these people are looking for anything at all that they can pull apart and make you look as though you don't know what you're talking about and discredit homeopathy even more.
A situation occurred last month where a debate was held on the Best of Medicine. Strangely enough, the two which came out the highest was vaccinations and homeopathy. Bearing in mind they only go by a "show of hands", vaccinations won, although one homeopath swears homeopathy showed the most hands, although she did admit it might have been wishful thinking on her part; either way, it must have been close!
This week, the debate is going to be the Worse of Medicne. I had hoped to attend, but there's too much sickness at work and I wouldn't be allowed the time off, but it looks as though homeopathy is set to be voted the worse.
There are people who bury their heads in the sand and hope for the best, but there are those who don't. Whether you do or whether you don't isn't the issue. No one person is effective acting on their own when it comes to counteracting these people. Strength lies in numbers, but you have to be seen as acting as ONE. In-fighting seems to be a problem in the homeopathic community, which would make it very easy for the opposition to divide and conquer!
