To be looking so differently now at Drs, schools etc etc

My posts have been reasonably clear and consistent. Some posters looking for a fight didn’t read them properly and just wanted to argue about homeopathy.

This thread could have been an interesting discussion about approaches to education and medicine.

So desperate for a fight were you that you leapfrogged my conversation and misread it, as did your friend.

No, not just them. Your posts are all over place and it's clear you're just here to argue.

I didn't even see it and have no idea what it said. Hard to believe that's all it said if it was deleted.

By most, I mean all the people who have tried to get you to justify your earlier comments, without success, which is quite a few of us.

It's clear now that you just want to fight about nothing though, so... <yawn>

By “most” you mean you and @cardibach

I note you reported my post that pointed out I had no interest in homeopathy.

I think a lot of people on the thread must have misunderstood the exchange tbf. Most of us thought you were arguing in favour of homeopathy, or at least according it equal status as an option.

It is abundantly clear from the exchange that the subject is chemotherapy.

It’s ok to piggyback a discussion and misinterpret a post, but at least take responsibility for it.

How very rude and personal. You aren’t in good faith at all, are you?
We can all see your contributions. Yes, it started about chemotherapy, but it wasn’t about that by this point. Here’s the exchange for you. I won’t be replying to you again, because I can’t bear disingenuous time wasters.

Now you’ve completely lost it. My post referred to medical research into chemotherapy as that was the subject of the conversation.

It was this.
“Informed about the research” begs many questions - how informed, how much research, competency to assess the research, what types of research, studies pro and con? What is the consensus? Is the consensus country or culture specific? What are the research/treatment options in the U.K. vs Europe, US, China etc. And what about research into the individual patient?

You know, the post I replied to.
Don’t be so disingenuous as to suggest you aren’t arguing that homeopathy is effective. And yes, I know you haven’t used those words.

The second part about school, working 9-5, commutes, weekends. That I question constantly, like why do we all do this? Who said this was what life is? I often feel like everyone is brain washed into this system.

Oh dear, it doesn't look like anyone can point to any evidence for the efficacy of homeopathy then.

As I have pointed out before I’ve not mentioned homeopathy other than in passing reference to medical doctors also in trained in alternative medicine.

My point was about duel training not about homeopathy. The OP is about evaluation of traditional methods of medicine and education.

So desperate are you to argue with someone about homeopathy that you’ve overlooked that I have no interest in it and have resorted to invention.

😂 You quote what I said that this was a response to:

Show me one piece of research that fits those criteria that says homeopathy works.It doesn’t.

Now you're talking!

Ohhhhhhhh! I get it now! So if I do water who remembers cake, I’ll finally be able to lose the forty pounds I put on over lockdown?

But no, you don't get it. Homeopathy "fights like with like". So by drinking water who remembers poop, you're actually fighting cholera! Clever, aye?

🤣🤣🤭

Interesting. You always deny that I’m answering something you’ve said when you can’t progress your own argument further. Got it.

😂 I refer you back to our previous conversation in we established you are arguing with yourself.

So tell us where I posted anything about homeopathy in this thread.

• Homeopathy is effective, but because it is cheap and ‘Big Pharma’ can’t make any money from it, they will never admit it works.

It's worth pointing out that for children who don't have an active infection, PANS/PANDAS may subside with age. The evidence for long term antibiotics or IVIG, which some doctors prescribe, is limited.

⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ This...

Go onto any Facebook group and ask for tips on how people have dealt with some common self-limiting condition (sciatica is a good one). You will get 50 different answers from 50 different people, because none of the treatments cured it — people just believe that the last thing they tried before the problem went away must have been what caused it.

Sadly we are all very good at telling ourselves stories when it comes to our health, without realising that we are deluding ourselves. "Normally when I get a cold it lasts a week, but with [remedy] it was gone in just 7 days. I mean, you can't say fairer than that."

Also, homeopaths tend to be very nice people and spend lots of time with you for your £££, unlike overworked NHS doctors. We are all much more prepared to believe nice people who tell us what we want to hear, especially since to do otherwise would imply that we aren't sure that we made a wise choice spending the money.
