[Vision2020] Holistic Approaches to Recovery

[Don Coombs]

I appreciate Saundra's remarks and I, too, am sorry to see Latah Recovery
Center promoting homeopathic medicine by sponsoring such presentations.

Traditional medicine is based on science. Homeopathic medicine, as far as I
can see, is not based on that at all, but on either ignorance or faith.
