Description

<p>Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: <a href="http://radiosoapbox.com" target="_blank">http://radiosoapbox.com</a></p><p>In tonight’s live show from Food for Thought Radio, I catch up with my co‑host Mallificus Scott, swap bluebell-spotting tales from Cornwall, and share the buzz in our house as we prepare to cheer on my daughter at the London Marathon. We then dive into a lively, thought‑provoking conversation with Bray Williamson, author of A Simplified Guide to Homeopathy. Bray explains homeopathy in plain language—how remedies are selected, what “provings” are, and why truly listening to a patient’s individual picture matters. We explore its history, why it thrives in places like India, misunderstandings around “placebo,” and how it can sit alongside conventional medicine. After the interview, Mallificus continues with reflections on privacy and tech—from facial recognition rollouts to animal adverse event reporting—plus an evocative oral history clip from a First World War veteran, rounding out a show that blends personal stories, contested health ideas, and social commentary.<br /><br />Guest: Bray Williamson, author of A Simplified Guide to Homeopathy.
