Homeopathy is safe
Homeopathy is a safe form of medicine. It is already in existence for more than 200 years and there have been published very few problems such as side effects, harm to organism and the like.
There are a few reports of harm due to homeopathy. But mostly they are mentioned as a consequence of not following regular medicine. The homeopathic treatment as such is not the cause of the harm.
Basically side effects are not a theme in homeopathy. When there are adverse effects after a homeopathic prescription it means that the remedy was incorrect. More in general, side effects are a sign of an incorrect medicine.
Homeopathic doctors are more concerned about potential negative effects of their treatment than the established medical state.
In essence homeopathy has no adverse effects. It can be that the correct is not found and the natural development of a disease is continued. A normal worsening of a disease process can be confounded with an aggravation of the therapy. But they are basically very different.
