Complementary and homeopathic medicine are terms that are often used interchangebly; However, there is a distinct difference between complementary medicine and classic homeopathy.
Complementary Medicine, such as the use of leeches: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.go
Complementary Medicine, while unorthodox, can be measured empirically using scientific methodology. Conversely classic homeopathic treatments consist of typically toxic substances being diluted thousands of times over in water or alcohol. Such treatments have been proven to be ineffective and could delay truly beneficial treatments.

The following article is what prompted me to repost my brief statement above (I originally posted it on my Facebook page):
The debate surrounding vaccination is more complicated than CDC sometimes makes it out to be. Never the less the above referenced article indicates the dangers of not being able to differentiate complementary medicine that may well have merit with that of junk science. Classic homeopathy is clearly junk science that can have dire consequences when used in lieu of valid precautions and preventative measures.
