For almost 200 years since its introduction, homeopathy never had any conflict with anything. The United States was first to create a rift when practitioners of conventional medicine started to complain against the unproven effectiveness of homeopathic treatment whereas allopathy, as Samuel Hahnemann has called conventional medicine, has been grounded after scientifically based experiments and testing.
Despite Hahnemann's high stature in medicine, pharmacology and chemistry, his strong critique of conventional medicine led to personal attacks against him by orthodox physicians as well as by the apothecaries (the drug makers of that time) who were philosophically and economically threatened by Hahnemann's work.
From then on, the United States have labeled homeopathy as placebo, in belief that patients claiming being cured by its treatment are merely hallucinating that they have been treated. The United States has also spread the belief in hopes that their words would be taken wholeheartedly but instead, they were only faced by hostile reproaches and infuriation. Homeopathy continues to spread slowly and progressively in many countries and cities. Before long, homeopathic and alternative clinics were constructed alongside hospitals and medical physicians started prescribing homeopathic treatments as alternative when conventional drugs do not work. This practice is trending in Jakarta, Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Bangkok, Thailand.
However, the recent developments in finding homeopathic loopholes have further drifted the two leading medical practices apart.
The Peterson Group, one of the leading sources of information on alternative, complementary and integrative medicines states that different labels have been tagged on homeopathy. Fraud, fake, placebo and quack are among the few.
According to further reviews, Homeopathy posed a serious threat to entrenched medicine. Orthodox physicians criticized herbalists, midwives, and various other "non-regular" practitioners because they were not medically trained. Homeopaths, however, could not be discredited as being unlearned, since they were graduates from many of the same medical schools as "regular" physicians. In fact, many of the initial practitioners of homeopathy graduated from some of the most prestigious medical schools of the day.
Now that England’s National Health Security (NHS) is also starting to go against homeopathy, even to the point of banning treatments from being prescribed in general physicians’ set of medicines, it incited supporters to further complain and take a stand. Pro-homeopathic practice could not let the 200-year old medical practice which have cured ailments and diseases which are beyond the scope of allopathy be put to waste.
