Homeopathy was invented in Germany about 200 years ago.
Homeopathic doctors believe that the symptoms of an illness are signs that the body trying to cure itself. To cure an illness, therefore, they give the patient something that produces the same symptoms in a healthy person.
Before a substance is used as a homeopathic remedy, it is tested by giving small doses of it to healthy persons to see what symptoms develop. For example, onions cause your eyes and nose to produce water. To cure colds, therefore, homeopathic doctors use an extract from onions. Sometimes, homeopathic doctors use dangerous poisons as medicines, but they dilute these many thousands of times so that they are harmless.

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.

One of the problems facing creative people is that their ideas may be too new for the rest of the world. It often happens that people laugh at the work of artists and scientists. Barbara McClintock is a good example of someone who continued to think she was right although for 30 years other scientists thought that she was wrong. Finally, her work proving that genes can make sudden changes in heredity won her the Nobel Prize in 1983.

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) was a British nurse and hospital reformer. At the age of 34, she took a party of volunteers to work in British military hospitals in Turkey during the Crimean War. She improved the terrible conditions there, reducing the death rate by 40%. She returned to Britain in 1856 to enormous public acclaim and devoted the rest of her life to improving the army’s medical service and developing civic training for nurses and midwives. She founded the Nightingale School for Nurses at St Thomas’s Hospital, London. In 1907, she became the first woman to receive the Order of Merit.
