101 Karen StowAs more people are being referred to other therapists outside of the NHS surgeries, then I feel that it is dutiful that places such as the Homeopathic Hospital should continue to be upheld and supported

103 AnonymousHOW can NHS stop homoeopathic treatments because they are claimed to be ineffective? So many people come to homoeopathy because mainstream medicine has failed them, if this hospital closes they will be thrown back into mainstream waiting lists with little chance of help. Additionally, whereas many new medicines released for use are recalled within a few months because of horrendous complications or side effects, the homoeopathic remedies have been proven by use over many years to be without side effects. Indeed, as there is nothing physically present of the original substance in homoeopathic medicines other than the energy signature, then there is nothing to cause harm. If, as the scientists claim, the remedies are merely working because of a placebo effect then that is brilliant too; a fraction of the cost of allopathic medicines and no harm can come from them. However, I do not believe their effectiveness is merely as placebo. Homoeopathic medicines are not tested on animals; this can only be good. They are not putting £100's of profit into the pockets of multi global pharmaceutical companies.
104 MARIAN DAVIESHow can NHS justify closing the H/Hospital when the remedies used are sooo much cheaper than allopathic medicines? Not only that, they are not harmful in any way, wherease allopathic medicines are frequently pulled off the shelves soon after launch because they are so harmful. If homoeopathic remedies are only working on the placebo effect then that is brilliant too as it is still a damn sight cheaper than allopathic medicine. However, I do not believe that this is why it works. I believe that just because there is no measureable evidence that it works or not does not mean to say that this proves the case, it simply indicates that scientists have not yet found a way to measure the effects!

106 philippa watkinsMy children three of whom are now in their 20s have had homoeopathic medicine all their lives and have not once had the need for allopathic drugs. I am astounded at the attacks rained on the professionals who work in the homoeopathic hospitals. The doctors and nurses have had the same medical training as any other doctor or nurse - they merely choose to use homoeopathic medicines rather than allopathic. Whilst there is no scientific evidence that how homoepathic medicines work, there are hundreds of volumes of texts of observed cases that have been cured by homoeopathy. The majority of these have been written over the past 250 by properly trained doctors and more recently by lay homoeopaths covering. There is no such long-term observational evidence of the efficacy of allopathic drugs.
107 Nicky EllisKeep patient choice open
108 Diane HearnMy family and I have used Homoeopathy for over 15 years with great success, I also treat my dog and cat. It is vital for people to have access to Homoeopathy on the NHS It saves the NHS by people maintaining their wellbeing.
109 AnonymousTell me some thing more how we can help the GPs of homeopathy.

115 selina nisbettthe chronic pain clinic at Pembury is stretched to the limits, and will be at breaking point if this vital service closes. For many it is a vital source for alternative treatment which they could otherwise not afford.

117 Miles LayramThe research into the benefits of homoeopathic medicine speaks for itself, and the impact on patients if the Tunbridge Wells unit closes will be catastrophic.
118 AnonymousDon't stop NHS Homeopathy, as it aids MS suffers (to name but a few) greatly!

120 Veronica PickWhen I was unable to take conventional medicine after a severe illness, Dr Ratsey agreed to treat me. Without his care and treatment I would be in a very different position now. As an ongoing patient I have found my treatment invaluable!
121 helen stevensthis hospital has been around too many years to just disband it. it has a significance beyond money.
122 athertonThis has really been beneficial to my friend who has suffered enough. This treatment benefitted her when alternatives were not an option.
123 AnonymousThis hospital is unique and must not close. I hope Prince Charles has been asked to support the campaign.

126 AnonymousHomeopathy worked for me and I no longer need any asthma inhalers and I no longer get chest infections.
127 AnonymousSave the homeopathic hospital. We need to promote health, not just try to tackle dis-ease when it has already established itself. This also makes economic sense.
128 Sue WhartonWe ahave a right to have whatever treatment we wish and to say it is not effective is total nonsense. Who are they being paid by I wonder?

144 Dr.Santosh JoshiHi ! Its sad that people are working aganist a Science that has provided with so much help n cure...We hope they wont close the center... Regards, Dr.Santosh www.hhomeopathy.com
145 AnonymousWhy close the hospital when it is helping so many people. Complemntary therapy is expensive, therefore people who are receving it at the moment may not be able to afford it if you close the hospital.

147 Kulwant SaxenaHomeopathy is better way of treating chronic diseases,safer medicine for children and old people, less expensive. If govt. is really concerned about the good health of his people, then , pl. think again. Already there are enough disasters in health services in nhs. donot increase it by closing down homeopathic hospitals such as this hospital.

150 eilish lawleeDear Sir/Madam, It has been brought to my attention that you wish to stop funding for the homeopathic Hospital in kent. I wish to express my wish that you continue to fund homeopathy in the NHS. As a clinical nurse specialist I see every day patients being prescribed medicine with the majority of the patients returning later complaining of the side effects with which we prescribe them more drugs to help balance the effects. This is more often than not a vicious cycle with the patients taking a range of drugs because there is nothing else currently that we can safely turn to to help us. If there were more hospitals like yours people would be able to be offered a choice. I know that I would like the choice to try out a safe natural remedy first before being filled with drugs that I know have all got at least 5 side effects, ( if you pick up a bnf and read any drug it will be proven out). Also in this era the drive of the nhs is that people are being offered choice however by you refusing to fund this hospital you are reducing or removing in certain areas that choice. Thanking you
