app_engine,
next time, in case if you are going for another child (!), just give sugar globes soaked in the solvent generally used for homeopathy without any homeopathic dilution and see (without telling to your wife!).

Then till now I haven't talked about allopathy (first time I am using this word in this thread). I also like you (தூய காற்றும் நன்னீரும், சுண்டப்பசித்த பின் உணவும்" technology only) and allow body to recover as much as possible and then go to doctor when it is really necessary.

There a plenty of demerits with Allopathy and so called vaccination. Hundreds of article can be written against misuse of antibiotics, vaccines and commercialising medical profession. But still we have to accept that it had doubled the average Indian life expectance (1930: 32 years, 2009: 64 years) and prevented world children mortality in large extend.
