Homeopathic remedies are undergoing a resurgence of popularity because the patient can administer them without a prescription, and they are alleged to have no adverse side effects. They are readily available in most drug stores and pharmacies, despite the fact that the theory of homeopathy is contrary to the theoretical foundation of every pharmacist’s training.In some countries, patients are demanding that homeopathy be paid for through their national health insurance. Europe and Asia have a homeopathy tradition. In India, homeopathy is used as a treatment for cancer. In many other countries, it is used as part of a supportive care program for cancer patients, despite the lack of any credibility for its effect at a molecular level and just a few clinical trials that endorse its efficacy. Today, courses in homeopathy are even being offered at some institutions of higher learning.
