IrishNKiwi, I'm sure this is a difficult time for you with your daughter being ill. Illness in children often makes parents feel upset and desperate to help. You should know that the World Health Organisation does not endorse homeopathy in place of convetional medicin for serious childhood illnesses.


Homeopathy works on the placebo principle, which means the patient must be self-aware and aware of the treatment. A child of 12 months will be neither of these, so homeopathy will not change anything except your perception of the illness (placebo by proxy).


However, that shouldn't stop you from seeking other types of alternative / wholistic therapy. You might want to investigate osteopathy, reflexology, baby massage etc. If you choose to pursue any herbal treatments, you will need to let your regular physician know. Many herbal remedies can have side effects in infants and also interact with conventional medicines.

It is very distressing to have a sick baby, and I hope she gets better soon.

You don't say why she's been prescribed so many antibiotics, but clearly your GP is not helping the situation.


I'd suggest that you ask for a referral to a decent paediatrician. Your money would be better spent on seeing a proper doctor privately if you can't get an early referral.

Just some info for anyone considering homeopathy for themselves or their children.

"Homeopathy is not effective for treating any health condition, Australia?s top body for medical research has concluded, after undertaking an extensive review of existing studies."

Because there are no regulatory standards for homeopathic preparations, there is no quality control for contamination. While low-level contamination would not be likely to be extremely harmful to adults, it's worth bearing in mind that it could have profoundly negative consequences for infants.


Probiotics treatment seems the most promising to counteract antibiotic SE.

Hi, just to advise with all the antibiotics you might want to add some baby approved pre/probiotics to enable the little one's immunity to build back up with friendly bacterias since antibiotics will kill off the good and bad bacterias which can sometimes cause illnesses to recur . I always ensure we replace the good bacterias when we take antibiotics and touch wood , it has worked .

From today's Guardian:


There is no scientific case for homeopathy: the debate is over


Pharmacists who sell homeopathic remedies as anything other than placebos are putting their customers? health at risk


The promotion of homeopathy is not ethical.

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
