Dr. Nancy Malik wrote: The language of symptoms is the best language that asks for the remedy. The symptoms are the compass that a homeopath uses to find his way to the right remedy. Symptoms are the language of a disease — the body’s attempt to balance itself.


Translation: "I'm good at asking people questions that encourage people to talk about how their symptoms, but in the end I really don't understand anatomy, physiology, pathology, or any of the other basic areas of knowledge that relate to medicine or treating disease. I 'treat' patients by asking lots of questions and listening intently to what they say. This makes them feel good. Then I give them water and charge them money for it."
