[H] Homeopathy in the News

Critics Build Pressure to Derail Alternative Therapies

The pressure is told have exceeded the limit after the group of
over 400 doctors, medical researchers and scientists lashed out
at such universities. It has been known that there are
universities which are offering some or the other form of

Couch Court

The next two sentences on the permanent placard inform us that
the building was "purchased in 1885 by the Couch Family.  Dr.
Louis Couch used the tower for his Homeopathic practice." I
thought that homeopathic remedies were a "new age" innovation

operatives, investigators believe Dr Imran may be none other
than one of India’s most-wanted, Yasin Bhatkal.
