Definitions[show more]
The 2012 Field Representative's Manual defines homeopathy as:
Homeopathy is a system of medical practices based on the theory that any substance that can produce symptoms of disease or illness in a healthy person can cure those symptoms in a sick person. For example, someone suffering from insomnia may be given a homeopathic dose of coffee. Administered in diluted form, homeopathic remedies are derived from many natural sources, including plants, metals, and minerals.
Field representatives were advised to "feel free to offer [this definition] even if the respondent has not requested [it]."
