You realise homeopathy etc. doesn't work? Right?!


Question: mate you're on a hiding to nothing on this site mate because it's filled with fools closing their eyes. One guy there said you haven't done your research into it's origins, founder etc. in fact he must not have done, because the story of homeoquackery is absurd.

They ACTUALLY believe that the more you dilute something the stronger it's affect. ha. I have several times asked this question to homeopaths and never got a reply but I will try once more....


....When you dilute something does it...

a) get stronger

or

b) get weaker.

Answers please.

And by the way that's not my whole argument and I can produce sources if required but unlike you believers I can actually use my own words to explain my thinking.

Stories are not proof. You dog/cat/child would have got better anyway. honestly IT'S ONLY WATER.

Sorry.Homeopathy works in certain cases.It is best form for fever,stromach troubles of children.it is harmless.For chronic cases like cancer ,it is not effective.The medicines used in modern medicine and homeopathy are more or less similar.But in modern medicine stronger the dose,it makes more effective,but in homeopathy more dilute it is more effective!!

You realize humans have survived for centuries without the use of modern medications and drugs? Something must have been working, right?

Wrong. Homeopathy does work, but like all solutions to medical issues, there are problems because what you have is a system problem.

It takes many disciplines to figure out any system problem, especially when many factors cause a single symptom. The medical industry's solution are ONLY drugs and surgery. This works sometimes to relieve symptoms, but it is always the underlying problems that are the most difficult to fix.

You have a 6 times less chance of dying from taking illegal drugs than taking a correctly prescribed legal medicine by a doctor. 106,000 deaths each year happen from legally prescribed medications each year. Only 20,000 deaths happen from illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, crack cocaine, etc.

Does this sound like a great solution? Why are we not going after the real drug pushers and getting the "war on drugs" to address the real problem in America from drugs?

How many homeopaths have caused deaths in America last year? So if it really doesn't work, let's say, what is it really hurting? Tell the 106,000 victims that died last year by taking the advice of their trusted physician that their advice and medications didn't work. Oops, you can't, but I'll bet you can go to the homeopath's clients and tell them, "it doesn't work." You still can tell them, but they probably won't listen because they are feeling better and alive and kicking.

Hmm . . . what's the "etc:" stand for?

Edit: I notice you don't include any studies, links, or any other evidence. Would you care to actually defend your rant, or are you just trolling?

Such as:

Wrong wrong worng.It does work.It has worked for me beautifully.I am too sensitive for conventional medicine-meaning traditional medication is too strong.I have found that homeopathy is the best for me and works every time!

It sounds like you have a health problem that has never been resolved either by prescribed drugs or homeopathy.If this is the case I sorry. However, perhaps you are looking for a quick result but this type of medicine requires patience and
commitment.

I am very sensitive to modern medicine and have tried homeopathy and whilst it's true it does not work for cancer suffers I have found it worked for my skin problems that conventional medicine never cured.

Stick with it and you will get results.

What do you mean by "all the research"? There isn't a lot and those that have been done are flawed anyway. One of the basic principles of homeopathy is that remedies are prescribed on an INDIVIDUAL basis so though your symptoms may be the same as another person your own remedy could be quite different. You can't set up research studies unless the same medicine or remedy is given to all subjects.

The only time homeopathic remedies are used for for groups is in veterinary homeopathy when a group of sheep or cattle, say, are given one remedy for a particular problem or disease.

I have two cats with cancer - the homeopathic remedy for each cat is different. Tell me the results with animals come from the "placebo effect"?

Yes I agree. Proof (in medicine) in the United States is defined as whatever the medical establishment says is true and fits their interests. The AMA was made afterall to take the market share away from homeopathy, so why in god's name would they want to claim it works? That's about the most self defeating thing you could ever do.

It doesn't matter if perfectly done studies have been conducted which show homeopathy works by prestigious institutions.
They can be ignored while the claim "there is 0 evidence homeopathy ever works" is trumpeted.

It doesn't matter if it's used in other countries with a lot of sucess by their mainstream medicine. Our system of proof only cares about what OUR medical system wants to believe, so homeopathy doesn't work.

It doesn't matter if doctors you know get results in incurable cases that had been worked on for years to no avail with other methods. Cures like that are subjective and a result of nothing more than a placebo.

By our own definition of proof, homeopathy does not work. Therefore it deserves to be made fun of and trolled as much as possible. Anyone or anything which claims it works is garbage and should be ignored. Afterall, whatever our leaders say is true is truth. Those are the cold hard facts, how dare any quack think that homeopathy works. It's like saying someone who weighs 20 pounds is fat, it goes against the definition.

I salute you for posting the gospel truth my comrade!

People need to start thinking for themselves and stop following like little sheep to do what the masses are doing ......... are you sure that your statistical information is fool proof?? would you rather pump your dying father / mother with toxic and lethal chemicals that are only going to bandaid the situation at best and extinguish nearly every living tissue and cell in their body at worst oooooooor use an alternative form of healing therapy such as homeopathy?? Don't you have a mind of your own?? Why do people such as you just blindly believe what the Government indoctrinates us with?? Alex F, the previous poster, makes some quite brilliant observations in light of the mindless dribble you appear to adhere to............ he quite succintly coins and makes a mockery all in one breath of the archaic and mindless attitude a large percentage of people have. ...... i agree with him.

Think for yourself. .......... do you also drink chlorinated water believing that it's therefore pure and clean?? even though the chlorine in the water robs us of our essential vitamin E which i'm sure you're aware actually helps in preventing some forms of cancrer and will keep you looking younger by retarding cellular aging due to oxidation?? do you also mindlessly drink diet sodas and soft drinks because they are marketed as an aide to lose weight?? despite the fact that they are loaded with aspartame whose evils i could never even begin to touch on in this small frame of opportunity?? ....... or ignore all the studies that have been done to prove that fluoridation in water actually causes tooth decay and enormous digestive disruptions in some people?? Try to put some positive energy out there and stop being so asinine and feeble.

CHEERS
?

this is ludicrous! Sceptics like you dont think homeopathy works only because you dont understand it enough.

think of it this way. people who know more about a certain subject is much more likely to to possess an affinity with it right? well i am assuming you not only lack the knowledge, but also are too narrow minded!

the placebo effect? i could acknowledge it's existance, but consider this: people participate in homeopathic treatments without knowledge of its results, and yet, get the same results as everyone else. the benefits are world-wide and archetypal.

have you even explored HOW the placebo effect works? no. you're too busy finding flaws in pseudoscience when you havent even realised you're using it to relieve your own frail deducing abilities! and yes! the placebo effect is a prime example of pseudoscience! it has no concrete, scientific proof! the fact that you think "sickness is all in your head" is no more far-fetched than the existance of the etheral body - which actually shows evidence of being percieved by at least two of the six senses! (as shown by the kirlian camera)

besides. in comparison to patients being "cured" with the use of modern medicine, homeopathy not only beats medical statistics, but reminds us what is really important - THE HEALING AND THE FACT THAT IT WORKS.

you should do more research before you make up your mind on such controversial subjects...

You mean old troll.
Homeopathy doesn't work any better or worse than oncology or any other pathy you could think of.

I didn't realize that until you just told me!! Heavens, all those things we've successfully treated with homeopathy etc. are sure to come back on me now! What can I do? The MDs couldn't do a thing for them! And now that I've come to the realization (thanks to you dear friend who cares for me and loves me so as to reveal that) however shall I treat those maladies when they reappear, since MDs can't fix them and now the homeopaths can't either! I'm sure they will come back, since you said homeopathy doesn't work. Oh, whoa is me! . . . ..boohooo

A great quote from Mark Twain:
"The introduction of Homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that Homeopathy survived the attempts of the orthodox physicians to destroy it." -Mark Twain-
. . .as it survives still. . .go back to your white coat and patients now, I'm sure some innocent victim is waiting for you.

For anyone who wants to know more about homeopathy and how it works from a professional who has been practicing it for years and is very well licensed and SUCCESSFUL - See:
http://www.cindeegardner.com/abouthom.ht...

How much do they pay you trolls? I think I need to start trolling the MD categories and telling everyone that Allopathy doesn't work. OH, I guess I wouldn't be trolling, just enlightening.

EDIT: Following another poster's link, I got to this very informative article - be forewarned though, this is the FDAs writing, so subject to the usual bias. I thought it good enough to share though: http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/096_hom...

Well, when you get some proof for your flawed theories people may pay attention to you, I feel sorry for you and for them. I have sent you some proof from double blind studies done on homeopathic remedies.
I do agree with you that nobody has ever died from any homeopathic treatment, that prestigious honor is left to the doctors using western "modern" medicine and the pharmaceutical companies that produce the drugs that those doctors dole out and we wouldn't want to forget that most wonderful of all agencies the FDA who approve all those cure-all pills. I will send along a few links on this too with proof from both the New England Journal of Medicine and the American Medical Association.
I challenge you to read all of these and see if after you are through you still feel the same way but I don't think you really care or you would have sited your own proof for your statements.

Apparently you haven't done any research to learn about homeopathy. It's origins, founder, how it works and etc.
Homeopathic remedies haven't killed anyone because they work, with so side effects or interractions.
Unlike prescription pharmaceuticals that are being pulled from the market every day due to the risks, side effects, permanent injuries and deaths they cause, homeopathic remedies do not have the horrible record big pharma does.
So until you know what you're talking about, you shouldn't be talking.

The 'placebo effect' is very powerful and shouldn't be underestimated.

I would never touch homeopathy. It's a waste of money. I do use some herbal medicines, but they have active ingredients, homeopathy does not.

Leave people to their delusions though.......if they're happy, why worry? *lol*

what is that? I know homeo means human and pathy means move, right?
