  • "life energy," sometimes called a "vital force," which today is commonly referred to as a person's immune and defense system. - awkward grammar
  • Due to their respect for the wisdom of the body - ambiguous.... how can a body have "wisdom"?
  • small and specially prepared - unnecessary
  • Again, mainstream medicine rejects this premise as unsupported by adequate clinical evidence, molecular biology, or both. - why was this deleted?
  • when considering homeopathy as an intervention, but may be used to determine the need for more conventional approaches. vs are generally not essential for selecting a homeopathic remedy, but may be used for medical disease diagnosis. - I find the original sentence more descriptive & sensible. "medical diesase diagnosis" is ambiguous.
  • , which he feels will be more effective. - Why add this? Awkward grammar, incorrect gender; should be s/he, & it's confusing. I'm trying to figure out if it means anything substantial but I can't.
  • , by stimulating the natural healing processes of the body. - this was added to a previous edit that I labeled unnecessary above. This, too, is not useful; the article needs to clarify how these unique and special and magical wonders stimulate the natural healing processes.
  • Most homeopathic medicines are available over-the-counter and do not require a doctor's prescription. However, in most countries, a homeopathic medicine has a tendency to be a prescription drug, available only from a doctor's prescription, if the dosage is in a crude or relatively non-potentized dose and if the dose of a specific medicine is dangerous. In the United States, some homeopathic medicines are prescription drugs if there are no indications for its use for self-limiting conditions or conditions that require medical diagnosis or medical monitoring. - the "most homeopathic medicines" that are available... etc, are the ones found in the US, right? That needs to be clarified. Also, "In the United States", etc., makes this article look too US-centric.
I think these are reasonable considerations. D. Matt Innis 02:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
