I think people being taken in by quack medicines is all too common. Given that Nancy Reagan used to consult an astrologer and Prince Charles believes in homeopathy and a lot of leaders in the Western World at least pay lip service to a god that sacrificed himself temporarily to break his own rules about people being naughty, I do not find it at all hard to imagine that Margaret Thatcher used alt. meds.

It wasn't so much that I doubt Thatcher would dabble in alt meds, more the combination of Thatcher, Cartland and the golden acorn whatever that was.

Which bit are you saying is not true? That Jesus sacrificed himself to save you from your sins or that he rose again from the dead a couple of days later?
