Or is my brain making that up? I realize that since it’s homeopathy the “active ingredient” has been “diluted to be more powerful” but, isn’t belladonna poisonous? Or is my brain making that up?

For you to take parts of that, and use them in your own context without permission is unethical, for someone who is preaching ethics, I find this puzzling. Have you spoken to the doctor/mother? Because I'm also thinking that what you are doing here is defamation of character.

I'm considering modifying the post to protect the child's privacy. Be aware, though, that these screen shots are not of a private family movie, but rather of a commercial <em>YouTube</em> video. The source is one of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob9KCHjOFxA" rel="nofollow">several similar ones made by the child's mother</a> that she is broadcasting via YouTube. @jackson Yes, I understand the point, and this is something that I’m currently thinking a lot about.
