Homeopathy is often observed as second fiddle to allopathic treatment and Saturday’s workshop in south London that will be attended by 80 homeopaths will be attempting to wipe out that notion. The homeopaths will try and convince the medical world that homeopath can be as effective as allopath in the treatment of HIV and AIDS!

The event is being organized by the Society of Homeopath and is believed to be marked occasion in the further development of homeopathy. The vent will focus on the AIDS epidemic in Africa and will try and justify the significance of homeopathy in the eradication of the HIV virus from Africa.

But, medical officials and doctors have severely criticized the event and its ideology. Medical charity ‘Healthwatch’ has said that it opposes the idea of using homeopathy in Africa, since, they believe, this will only aggravate the escalating AIDS problem in the continent. Like other homeopathy-bashers, they too deny that homeopathic treatment of AIDS is scientific.

Can homeopathy cure AIDS? No one knows for sure and it seems that few are eager to discuss on this matter. The war between the two modes of medical treatment is not new and doesn’t look like it’s going to stop for sometime. The workshop in London is going to be just another chasm that lets out the volatile hostility between the opposing streams of medical treatment and one can safely assume that, as in other times, no one will win.
