Next month, I'm going on a holiday of a lifetime in the tropics. So this morning, I went to get some holiday health advice from an alternative practitioner in our village. She told me I needn't take any malaria pills provided I used her natural homeopathic tablets. Is this true?

NO. A properly-trained homeopath would never give this dotty advice. To go to the tropics without taking anti-malarial pills would really be asking for trouble.
