Today people are taking more responsibility for their own health and well being. Just as environmentalists are concerned that the side effects of modern technology disrupt the delicate balance of the earth's ecco system, more and more responsible people are concerned with the side effects of conventional medicine and are seeking alternative methods for the treatment for disease and maintenance of good health.

Homeopathic medicines provide a safe, effective alternative to conventional drugs. The National Institute of Health has created a special Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM). The OAM is awarding substantial grants for research into homeopathy because of its long history of safety and effectiveness.
