On homeopathy, I will say that when my mother in law's cancer got to the point where no more treatment was possible, she went home and diligently took her homeopathic "medicine" sent by her German health insurance. At first I thought it was 100% nonsense, but I realized it gave her a sense of agency over her situation, which was good for her (until she got too sick to do anything for herself). So only 98% nonsense.
- pinkgolem 3y agoGerman health insurance does not send out any medication, it also will not pay for homeopathic medicine anymore, but that's very recent and is not yet finalized
- gumby 3y agoThis was around 2004, but I should have said "paid for". Also the Diakonie came by twice a day to change her dressings, make sure she was fed, etc. SHe didn't have two pfennigs to rub together and the system made things go about as well as they could. Here in the US it seems barbaric by comparison.
