		<description>Hi Siobhan,

Being remedies, the Bach Flower Remedies are not really my area of focus, which is &#039;How to create health&#039;. I believe that all remedies should fall under the category of &#039;crisis management&#039;. Ideally, you don&#039;t want to get to that point and even if you did, there&#039;s probably more effective ways of dealing with a crisis than homeopathy.

Although I don&#039;t know much about it, I&#039;m skeptical. Could the effects be placebo, which is known to alter the outcome of an illness considerably?

Perhaps the belief that it works and the positive benefits of that belief are responsible for the effects?

If people get benefit, even if it&#039;s placebo, that&#039;s got to be a good thing but I&#039;m concerned about the focus here… the idea that something&#039;s gone wrong that needs to be fixed.

It&#039;s more of the &#039;pill for an ill&#039; mindset that stops people really taking reponsibilty for their health.

What do you think about homeopathy?

Cheers

		<description>Hi Mike - I&#039;m a Habit Guide owner and I love your list! I also agree with what you said about choices we make now affecting our future…..we&#039;re such an &#039;instant gratification&#039; society….I want it now, I want to feel good ~now~ etc… We&#039;ve got to change our thinking. By the way, what do you think of Bach Flower Remedies and homeopathic medicine in general?

All the best,
Siobhan</description>
