I have no doubt half the regulations and laws out there are not needed, ok. But, what people are putting into the bodies of innocent children and pregnant women is a different deal. Often, what is non-traditional is not synonymous with medicine, at all. My friends that went to west Africa during the Ebola epidemic have seen many results of non-traditional “medicine.” It is not a rosy picture. Do you have faith in anything you do not understand?
Why do you keep mentioning west Africa? Homeopathy originated in Germany in the 19th century and has been practiced in many nations since.
I believe that there's an entity and there are principles I don't understand, but accept as beyond my limitations.
In terms of what I put in my body? I want to know what I'm ingesting. With pharmaceuticals, that's not clear. I only use products for which I know their ingredients and I've researched for myself their uses and their side effects. I do the same thing with food.
Pregnant women? Who is putting stuff into pregnant women against their will? And who are you to tell other people how they should treat their children? I suppose you have no problem with a pediatrician dosing children with 30+ vaccines before they're a year old with who knows what kind of ingredients included, when their immature immune systems are not even able to produce IgG antibodies yet.
How about you mind your own family and let others do the same?
