Despite this, homeopathy continues to fight its battles."

From the blog: :"On September 25,2015, our house was full of boxes from weeks of packing for a move that was going to take place in just two days. It was just past midnight (4 days after the symptoms started), and my partner Rose was restless and could not get comfortable. She had a stabbing pains in the stomach and was not able to have a bowel movement. The pain was increasing no matter what I did to help her or what she took to relieve it. When Rose finally told me she had never felt pain like this in her life I got dressed and we were in the car within minutes. We were scared and did not know what was causing the pain.”
