homeopathy isn't holisitic

very interesting.
I fully agree with Pce Chuck's perspective as quoted in this piece:
"I do believe most strongly that we should not view health as something that exists in isolation, but forms as a direct consequence of our communities, our cultures, our lifestyle and the way we interact with our environment," Charles will say. But I fail to see how some groups can see that as support for homeopathy. What's homeopathy got to do with communities, culture, lifestyle and environment? Chuck's view is a heckuvalot larger than just some meds that are watered down to the point that they are no more than (hopefully) harmless concentrations of chemicals that get lost in the noise of the chemical soup we eat and breathe and drink everyday; even if it works as a placebo, all it does is sustain people's naivety with regards to their unhealthy lifestyles and irresponsibility toward the environment, which in the end, hurts all life on the planet.
