In a long-winded, Ringa Ringa Roses post Gilbert Lawrence <gilbert2...@yahoo.com> included the following:
" In the 16th / 17th century, vaidyas and hakims were the native doctors, and ipso facto, at best they were homeopaths and aurveydics" RESPONSE: a: After reading yet another convoluted attempt at revisionism wrt that ghastly Inquisition, I am going to have a nice cup of chai. b: I have previously noted, in Gilbert's scrap-book aka Amchi Khobor, that Goa is at an altitude higher then Mt Everest. c: I am now amazed that Homeopathy may have been practised in Goa in the 16th / 17th century. d: I wonder why all and sundry give credit for the development of Homeopathy to a German chap at the end of the 18th century. Wah! jc
