well, this proves that alternative medicine doesn't work, As I always suspected. I don't think there is a need to have an extra long thread on this one, but it pains me to read what parents have done to their kids in the erroneous belief that homeopatic and/or alternative medicine would cure them better or more efficiently that conventional stuff. To me it shows how ignorant some people are, or gullible enough to believe snakeoil salesmen.
