Jayne Middlemiss, TV presenter: "I've been seeing a homeopath, Hilary Fairclough, who's fabulous and has been treating me since about 1998. It's helped me through some really difficult patches in my life and it's really supportive without being intrusive. I would go to my homeopath before my doctor, unless it's something really serious.
