Green, but not green

We are keen on green issues, organic food, recycling, saving energy, etc. Somehow, in the green media, these issues get conflated with everything else alternative as if they all have equal merit. I was recently reading Green Parent magazine which is generally pretty good. However, there is a section on children's health. In the section, they were discussing croup. Croup is pretty unpleasant (I suffered from it when I was young).  The resident 'health adviser' gives the following advice for parents "Constitutional homeopathy is one of the most effective ways of preventing reoccuring croup so I would suggest seeing a local homeopath if possible".

Obviously, I needed to call them out on this, so I sent the following email

Hi,
I read your magazine regularly and generally I agree with the ideas and philosophies contained in it. The one area I've always been a bit concerned with is that of alternative therapies. In my reading of the subject, there have never been any conclusive well run scientific trials that show that any of these therapies actually work.

The Ask Auromina section of the Children's Health section normally starts well enough with general advice on improving diet, reducing stress levels, etc, but then often suggests a particular therapy for a given disorder. For example, in the most recent issue it states "Constitutional homeopathy is one of the most effective ways of preventing reoccuring croup so I would suggest seeing a local homeopath if possible". This is presented as a fact, but there are no references to back up this claim. Is it possible for you to provide any evidence of any clinical trials that show that homeopathy is effective for preventing croup?

I'm still waiting for an answer.
