Does homeopathy have any place in general practice?

There is definitely a place for homeopathy in general practice. Not only that, but I hope in future there will be increased opportunity for its provision.
I have been offering homeopathy at my own GP practice for 12 years, with great effect.
I audited my homeopathic consultations over a 12-month period and scored and analysed the outcomes. My study showed a wide variety of conditions were treated homeopathically and three-quarters of patients had a positive clinical response.
In order to defend homeopathy I want to start by sharing just three of the many cases I have treated successfully using it.
In one case, a nine-year-old girl presented with a three-year history of nightmares, causing her to wake four out of seven nights each week.
Three doses of one homeopathic medicine brought relief lasting about three weeks. After a further three doses she was almost completely free of nightmares – as she was when reviewed three months later.
My second case involves a 41-year-old man with a two-year history of alopecia since his mother’s death.
I treated him with two homeopathic medicines and reviewed him two months later. His alopecia was clearing – one patch had disappeared and the other was shrinking significantly.
In the third case, a 33-year-old woman came to the surgery with a four-year history of persistent diarrhoea, rectal bleeding and IBS, following Giardia infection.
She had been extensively investigated by a gastroenterologist, diagnosed with post-infectious IBS and prescribed antispasmodics that were ineffective.
I prescribed a series of homeopathic medicines and reviewed her three times. She was delighted to find that her bleeding settled and her bowels returned to normal.
