Why Homeopathy is getting more and more popular?

[philipthegreat]

Well said phlogistician.

Nice first post philip. You propose a statement and then ask for feedback. You will definitely get feedback here, but look for the feedback that makes you better at understanding the issues such as phlog's post.

Thanks

Interesting story, slightly off-topic from Homoeopathy, however:

The regulation of hypnotherapists in the UK is so lax that even a cat can become accredited...

Anyone want to sign their pets up as Homoeopaths?.

But that leads us to your second observation, that if a dilution cured ailments, the finite body of water on Earth would have touched all substances over time, and if the 'memory' theory was correct, would be the most potent cure for all ills. As people drink water and still get ill, there seems to be a hole in the homepath's bucket though.

In other words, a stoner should be able to get extra high if they recycle their old bong water. I'll pass the info along :m::m::m:

My dog does a variation of laying on stones. It is called paws of filth. It is a refinement of where he rubs off on you anything foul he has located by the roadsides and rolled in. In paws of filth he marks your clothes with the the natural essence of the proper world about us.

phlog and phillip hit this one right on the head.

Homoeopathy is highly scientific, logical, and extremely effective method of treatment.

Obviously a flat out lie.

It is the most rational science with respect to its concepts of health, disease and cure.

Anyone with access to a dictionary can look up the words 'rational' / 'science' and quickly see there is no relation to the word 'homeopathy'.

Homeopathy is an evidence-based medicine. It is supported by worldwide clinical research.

Obiously not.

Some major medical schools, including Yale, and Salford now include homeopathy as part of their medical curriculum.

In what context? I bet it's something along the lines of the history of alternative quackery.

Undoubtedly, homoeopathy is the medicine of the 21st Century.

Good luck with that delusion.

Well, you'd have to dilute it, shake it, and then charge someone for it before it will work, apparently

I normally don't have time to read to the end of an article posted online. This time I did. What is so scary about this article is that I was in Africa in 1993 and I heard many of these issues concerning AIDS and read local newspapers and saw many of these issues discussed.

Sweet! Thanks for passing that along.

Thanks MacGyver. I bumped into that and was stunned especially near the bottom where the TAC members is used in the internal court and the heinous demands for punishment.

Dr Nancy I further challenge you on your claims that:
1. Conventional drugs are crude
2. most patients are over-medicated

You don't see conventional drugs to be crude? Childish....
And when we potentised your crude medicine, you say it is extremely diluted?

Most of the chronic patients are over-medicated because conventional medicine has a poor record in chronic diseases unlike acute where they have a better record.

 

[Dr. Nancy Malik]

Furthormore, I provided clear evidence on the dangers of so-called alternative medicines including reports of deaths due to the use of those medicines.

[Dr. Nancy Malik]

Hello everyone... this is my first post on sci-forums and I'm quite gald to be here . I am especially glad that my first post is a reubttal to what every credible scientific organization has deemed quackery.

Homeopathy consists as I understand it of taking an substance and maing a solution of it with water then diluting it to the point were hardly a molecule of the original substance remains. This is its main problem in my opinion.

(Info taken from wikipedia for the most part)










As I see it most homeopathic solutions would not even contain a single molecule of the original substance. How is possible that basically a cup of water can cure diseases simply because once there was powder of ebola root in it?
By that logic drinking any water could probably cure a disease of sorts.

So what do you fellow skeptics think of my arguement? It's my feeble first attempt to debunk something.

[Dr. Nancy Malik]

Studies published in 'The Lancet' demonstrate that any benefit from homeopathic cures happens at the same percentage rate as placebos, confirming there is no tangible effect.

I challenged you and you did not respond. The challenge stands.

 

[stereologist]

You claims of millions of deaths have been shown to be fraudulent claims.

 

[stereologist]

All Nancy Malik does is post the same rubbish until she is banned by the forum. She has repeatedly failed to substantiate any of her claims.

[raggamax]

Even if homeopathy really works the cause for it has still not been found. But there are all sorts of unsolved mysteries in world. Maybe water is the real cause here.

 

[CptBork]

Maybe wishful thinking, lack of experimental controls, and selective data sampling are the real causes here. Double, double, toil and trouble.
