I can see the thrill in tracking down the German homeopathic
doctor who would be Queen if male primogeniture hadn't existed
on the death of Queen Victoria. If succession by the eldest
female daughter had been allowed, we would be ruled by the
willowy Queen Friederike Thyra Marion Wilhelmine Dorothea von
der Osten charming and clever, she sounded this evening on Radio

DAR honors ''significant woman'
Born in 1835 in West Tisbury, Mass., she graduated from Boston

hair and smoked. She came to California in 1885 and held
Californias Homeopathic Medical Certificate #26.

benefits over that of allopathy, we can endeavour to understand
the concept, origin and effectiveness of homeopathy. To help us
do that, today we have Dr Nidhi Digwa who nails all these
questions for us.
Protesting homeopathy

Do no harm, but do something
Regular visitors to this corner Hi, Mom! are aware I am no fan
of homeopathy. That is an understatement. I consider the
production and sale of homeopathic concoctions to be fraud of

the order of one to a trillion-trillion and beyond can even
contain a molecule of active ingredient, and the notion that
water can have a memory of that ingredient belongs in the realm
of LSD hallucination.
