Homeopathy in Inexperienced Hands May be Dangerous

Allopathy doctors who who are practising medicine should not recommend homeopathy drugs. By and large there is no randomized controlled study to find out the age appropriate dose and the side effects of many homeopathy drugs. A homeopathy drug is not a single agent but often it is a cocktail of many agents and may be dangerous to the kidney, brain and many other organs in the long run.
