Roger Daltrey reveals son's medical scare

Roger Daltrey reveals son's medical scare
In a new interview with the Times Online, The Who frontman Roger Daltrey explained the reasons behind his belief in alternative medicine.  During a health scare with his then 9-month-old son Jamie, now 27, Roger says that a homeopathic treatment regimen ultimately saved his life.  Jamie developed unexplainable gastrointestinal issues to such an extent that he "turned into skin and bone," Roger recalled. 

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 homeopathy, 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.

Roger's faith in homeopathy was reaffirmed recently when a friend shared a similar experience.

He thought he was about to lose [his baby]. But I recommended homeopathic 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.

Roger, 65, and his wife Heather have been married for 37 years.
