Why do you believe in homeopathy?!


Question: Why do you believe in homeopathy!?
Even with the understanding of the levels of dilution, people still insist on using these remedies!. Why!? A lot of the solutions dont even contain 1 molecule of the original ingredient!. The remedy it literally water!. If homeopathy is true and If water has some magical memory property then I would think our water would be very unsafe to drink because some remedies are diluted equivilent to 1 drop of medicine in the whole altantic ocean!. Doesnt it seem possible then that our water already contains many homeopathic remedies in every glass!? I saw one post on here that said we should respect homeopathy just because it was standard practice hundreds of years ago!. Burning witches was also a standard practice!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cat lady, I'm so sick of this bogus quantum physics crap!. Quantum mechanics does NOT support homeopathy!. I've yet to see a single theory, postulate, or equation that could be interpreted in such a way as to allow molecules to have innate memory!. Also, Einstein worked in relativity dumb as$!. He HATED quantum mechanics and spent much of his time trying to discredit it!. It's one of the reasons that the theory is so strong!. I've seen many posts where you claim that quantum mechanics allows for homeopathy to work, yet you've never backed it with any source or even novel interpretation of quantum theory!. So please, unless you're going to back up what you say, DON'T SAY IT!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Peope who fancy themselves "scientists" get SO hung up on the dilution issues with homeopathic remedies!. That's high school physics!. When you get into quantum physics you learn (ala Einstein) that there is a there there and quantum physicists have spent over a hundred years investigating the presence of extremely small and hardly detectable quantities of matter!.

Descartes, an 18th century philosopher, turned us all into rationalists (if I can't detect it it isn't there) as far as the world goes which led to great advances in human medicine and treatment!.

Hahnemann who developed the system of homeopathic dilution in the late18th and early 19th century was a "pragmatist"!. He wanted to treat his human patients with the least harmful remedies and found that dilution and succussion in the preparation of remedies enhanced their beneficial use with his patients!.

Homeopathic remedies "work" very well - history has proved that!. They have been used in treatment with herd animals for a hundred years!. They are now used with cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, etc!. The placebo effect does not happen with animals as they do not have the cognitive abilities that humans have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's the succussions, dood! That's what potentiates the miasma and calls down the psora to do the dance of the infintesimals!.

If you shake your booty !.!.!. er remedy !.!.!. with the proper intent, a pure heart, and of course with the right amount of cash from the patient already in your wallet that's what it takes to make the remedy all properly potentiated!.

Anything else is just tap water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some people just like to be seen to be different!.

If homeopathy were the accepted practice these people would be advocating evidence-based medicine instead!.

Best just ignore them and leave them to their little fantasies!.

old cat lady: if you still don't even understand the relatively simple concept of "observer bias" then you are in no position to discuss quantum physics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds hokey! I've tried a few homeopathic pills and gels just to see if they had any effect!. While I didn't get dramatic results, I did see some positive effects!. I'm not completely convinced of their benefits, but my experience makes me believe they provide benefits sometimes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am skeptical, but I have used homeopathic arnica for bruising with great results!. I have used topical and internal remedies!. I don't get it but it works!. Other remedies dont seem to be as effective for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't believe in homeopathy, I consider myself better educated and informed than to believe in such snake oil treatments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on what kinds of homeopathic remedies you are referring to!. I take Grapefruit Seed Extract which is an all-natural antibiotic!. I haven't had so much as a cold in five years!. That's homeopathy!. I drink echinacea tea!. I eat chicken noodle soup!. I drink the juice of the amalaki (also known as the Indian Gooseberry) which is well known for it's healthful properties!.

I use all sorts of natural remedies for things!. I use aloe vera (straight from the plant) on sunburns!. I make my own lavendar soap for relaxation!. Aloe straight from the plant works WAY better than the stuff in the bottles!.

Do I go to the doctor!? Duh!. Do I take medication when needed!? Duh!. I just went to the dentist!. I'm not stupid!. I just try to live my life in a healthy way!.

If you are referring to those oils and crap in the market that claim to get rid of migraines, then I agree!. Those are full of bull-honkey!. There are a lot of lame cure-alls that don't do anything but take your money!. But, yes, I do believe in homeopathy to a certain extent!. I'm educated on the subject, so I go natural when I can!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't "believe" in something until I find that it works on me, personally!. That's what it takes to convince me!. Something has to actually have an effect!.

In the category of homeopathy, there are a lot of snake oil products!. Same with herbals -- some are snake oil!. But I can tell you that Arnica, used in homeopathy for bruising or for pain, can be a wonderful benefit when you need it!. Our medicine cabinet always has a small vial of homeopathic Arnica, BECAUSE IT WORKS!.

In the herbal arena, you could say the same negative things as you've said about homeopathy, but there ARE products that work!. I take Arctic Root every day, a brand of Rhodiola, and I couldn't be without it!. That's because I NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE!.

Placebo effect!? I doubt it!. But whatever, with Arnica or Arctic Root, I would fight you for them before I'd let you take them away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
