@DB: I understand your frustration, especially since you have lost someone because of homeopathic crap. But banning people, especially those that are advocates of homeopathy will not help sway people away from such dangerous pursuits; but showing that homeopathy does not work, and that homeopaths are not real doctors, and actually, do not know anything about medicine, does help. Your real world example is one of those that should be shown and taught in schools, in order to help children think critically and logically.
@Nancy Malik: you still have not presented evidence that homeopathy works, and you are not persuading anyone here to trust homeopathy. There are unanswered questions about homeopathy, its practices, its control mechanisms which you have not answered. I do not know whether you have not seen them, or you have and are avoiding those; however, here are some of the unanswered as yet questions:

I am sure that if I search through the whole trhead, I will find many more unanswered questions. I'll add this question:
Homeopathy talks about the "Memory of Water". if that was true, then water would "remember" a number of dangerous ingredients, like radioactive material, the feces of various humans and animals containing any number of diseases, all diseases and microbes and everything else. In short, that water we would not be able to use and/or drink because it would have been contaminated with all sorts of "bad memories". Which means basically that we would not be able to drink any water, or do anything with water at all. How does homeopathy solve this problem?
Nancy Malik, please answer the previous questions.
