Homoeopathy is the medical practice of treating like with like. That is to say, treating an illness with a substance which when taken by a healthy person produces symptoms similar to those displayed by the person who is ill.

Dear Saran Zeb
I have been suffering from migraine for the past 10 years, I have seen a doctor, who specialise in this area, which my GP referred to me, and I was on some pain killers for the migraine and cannot continue taking pain killers for the rest of my life.
Last year a friend of mine recommended me to you and said you might be able to help me with this problem. I didn’t really take it seriously but I’m still in constant pain. So I decided to come and see you. After the first treatment I saw a significant change to my problem for the better.
I would like to continue with the treatment, unfortunately the cost is very high for me to be able to afford as I realised that the NHS do not cover the cost of this treatment which makes it difficult to afford the treatment on a regular basis. The orthodox medication I’ve received so far has not improved my conditions.
I’ve learnt that the NHS is considering supporting the alternative method of medication. I’ve seen the benefits of alternative method; I will support the NHS especially if they could help me financially towards the treatment I receive from you. I will be considering for you to treat my children if these wonderful services are available on the NHS.
Yours sincerely
F. S.
