Roger
Daltrey:
homoeopathy
saved my baby's life The Times 1 May 2008
On a stuffed leather sofa sits The Who's iconic
frontman, Roger Daltrey, his compact frame taut with energy as he holds forth .
. . about teenage cancer, running a gym, shunning drugs, country walking and the day homoeopathy saved his baby's life.
Daltrey, 64,
has always been staunch about
health and fitness. Nowadays this passion drives his energetic support for the
Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity that builds specially designed units for NHS
hospitals where adolescents can face life-threatening illness in surroundings
so welcoming, supportive and familiar that it may significantly boost their
survival rates.

Alternative medicines. Oh, you name it, I've
done it. My experience of alternative medicines is that they all work for
certain people. You are unique and you have to find the right thing for you.

What got him into complementary therapies? He gazes into his palms, then says: I had a very, very dramatic experience with my son when he was nine months old. He had gastro difficulties, started throwing up, could not keep any food down and turned into skin and bone. At the hospital, they did every test to him, and in the end they just handed him back to me. My wife and I were in bits. My poor baby. The kid was dying. It was terrifying. I thought, there's got to be something. I'd heard of homoeopathy, so I found a local guy in the Yellow Pages and took my boy there. He gave him some powders. Within two weeks he was putting weight on, keeping the food down. The trouble recurred periodically for a couple of years, but he's now 27, a fit and healthy young man.
The bizarre thing is that I've got a chiropractor friend in LA whose baby landed up in exactly the same state. He thought he was about to lose him. But I recommended homoeopathic remedies, and he recovered too. That's God's honest truth. Now I bet doctors would say, Oh they'd have got better anyway'. But I can't believe that. ..
