Finally, her work proving that genes can make sudden changes in heredity won her the Nobel Prize in 1983.

Critics say that there is no scientific support for homeopathy, and that in many cases the ‘illness’ would disappear naturally anyway. They also say it is possible that simply believing a medicine will work can help the mind to cure same simple illnesses. Homeopathic doctors, on the other hand, say that there is plenty of evidence that homeopathy works – and millions of people who take homeopathic remedies agree with them. Tests have also shown that animals can be cured with homeopathic medicine, and this, they say, proves that it cannot simply be because people believe in it.
