What is homeopathic surgery

Maybe it should say Surgery / Homeopathic Medicine...
Either way, no one with homeopathy in their list of qualifications is getting near me with a knife

First, I thought that, given homoeopathy’s two founding principles, namely (1) like cures like and (2) curative power increases with dilution, homoeopathic surgery of a malignant tumour would involve the introduction of a sub-microscopic morsel of an appropriately carcinogenic material into the patient’s body.  But I was wrong.  It’s quite a lot scarier.

I just want to add my 5 cents worth to the homeopathy debate.
I feel that anyone using homeopathic treatments on children and animals should be charged with abuse, because children and animals are vulnerable and cannot defend themselves; and now after reading the link that 'Luthon64 provided, I'm  horrified at just how much "medicine" these quacks are allowed "practice".
I had no idea that they were allowed to perform any type of surgery - it's absolutely frightening  .
Thanks for the link 'Luthon64

Infants: Homeopathic remedies and treatments are successfully used by parents for common infant ailments such as colic, teething pain and some infections.

Animals: There are many veterinarians using homeopathic medicines to treat domestic pets such as cats, dogs and birds, as well as barnyard animals like goats, horses and cows. Is it possible to have a placebo effect with animals?

The placebo is for the owner's benefit. He/she is paying the bill. Like I said before - most illnesses go away by themselves. There were no vets 100,000 years ago. If every illness killed, there would be nothing here.
