to think homeopaths really just make money out of the gullible?

[WidowWadman]

A remedy made from diluted bits of the Berlin Wall - seriously, that's surely just a test to find out how far they can push it, isn't?

Pink- bigoted opinions are formed in the absence of evidence. In this case, the evidence overwhelmingly leads to the conclusion that homeopathy is nonsense. Therefore having a negative opinion of homeopathy/homeopaths is not bigoted. Unlike your opinion of western medicine/doctors.

You and pleanty of others

Far chance that homeopahty will ever introduce M&M confereneces or other accuntability measure to limit harm.

In Big Alt the bottom line is the bottom line and precious little could distract them long enough to think beyond earnings, profit margins and new income streams.

crashdoll very unlikely a decent homeopath would say come off your other meds!

I have had extensive conventional treatment and am not cured. Never will be.

A decent homeopath ?

BOF it was a Christmas miracle. Obviously

Noddy Conventional medicine can cure some, not all conditions. Give us another 100 years and it might be able to cure your illness; homeopathy never will.

Oh Blimey...(wanders off wearily)

Wow you are pretty angry for someone who is so SURE

Homeopathy harmless?
worth a look especially the first youtube link, which gives details of the Coroner's findings.

in your opinion

No. In fact. It's just water.

Homepathic remedies are just water and sugar. If the theory worked then all the water we have ever had availble to us since humanity began....would be a potent homepatic remedy for known ills.

Becuase nature via the water cycle has reproduced (for millions of years) exaclty the same process that homepathic pill factories have been using for a couple of hundred.

I know what it is I don't use it myself but have seen great results in some who do. The sugar and water are irrelevant its all about the imprinted memory.

Why are all those who are against it so angry and a bit fish wifey? Just let people do their thing or you will need more than a sugar pill to bring your blood pressure down

noddy - like Solid, I am also sure homeopathy and the rest of the 'magical stuff' is nonsense. And I also get frustrated that some 300 years after the Enlightenment we have to have discussions over the magical properties of special water. There is no place for supernatural thinking in 2013. It holds back progress. This makes me cross.

"Imprinted memory".

FFS. does anyone really believe this? Really?

yes some people really do. I think there is plenty of room for magic water. People believe in all kinds of things why so cross

The imprinted memory thing is errant nonsense, seductive and pseudo-scientific though it sounds.

The sugar and water are irrelevant its all about the imprinted memory

How does shaking and repeated dilutions result in "memory" in a facotry that sells stuff, but not when the water cycle does exactly the same thing....free of charge ?

Noddy yes there is room for magic water...have you read the whole thread?

I think it is like mediums (the ones that talk to the dead, not the ones that lie about their clothes size), most are well intentioned and put a lot of emphasis on coincidence, but the are a few out and out frauds out there.
I did find this for anyone who believes in such things. Cleaning spit? eveningharold.com/2013/06/10/advertising-feature-introducing-the-amazing-child-cleaning-power-of-mumspit/

Here, here.

And the smug "it's all just your opinion" nonsense makes me .

An "opinion" based on a solid foundation of evidence is NOT equal to an opinion based on precisely none....as in the case of homeopathy and God.

Unless you're willing to argue that the "opinion" of someone who argues that sun orbits the Earth, is equal to the "opinion" that, actually, the Earth orbits the sun. Which few sane people would be willing to do.

Amazed that no one has misquoted Shakespeare at us yet, though. This is a law of woo threads, isn't it? A bit like Stalin & Hitler being raised ad nausea on the religion ones.

Mumspit! Brilliant!
