There’s plenty of evidence, but there’s none so blind as those who will not see.
It's now a government endorsed cult, since Harkin wrote in coverage for homeopathy and other assorted quackery in Section 2706 of ObamaCare.
What you're endorsing hurts people. Selling sick people treatments and methods that are proven to be false is immoral and evil.
Shut the hell up. Homeopathy is not immoral nor evil, you're just picking a fight. And "science" is not limited to your paltry understanding of it. Jeez, grow the hell up, there are things in this world that don't fit into your nice neat tiny little definitions. Millions of people use homeopathy because they find it works for them. Sorry that bothers you so much.
The number of people who believe something does not affect its veracity.
Homeopathy in and of itself is no more immoral or evil than palm reading or alchemy, it's those who make money from it and advocate for it in the face of 100% of the empirical evidence that show it's fraudulent that I have a problem with.
If you're selling water and claiming it's medicine, or has health benefits beyond plain water, you're a fraudster, and you should be treated as such.
Goodbye.
CONCLUSIONS: Homeopathic intervention offered positive health changes to a substantial proportion of a large cohort of patients with a wide range of chronic diseases. Additional observational research, including studies using different designs, is necessary for further research development in homeopathy.
No degree required for “alternative medicine.”
A study with no control group? Haha! Nice try.
Physician hospital observations of 6,544 consecutive follow-up patients.
A joke.
Here's a GENUINE study that aggregated 110 trials that show that homeopathy is the placebo effect:
Biases are present in placebo-controlled trials of both homoeopathy and conventional medicine. When account was taken for these biases in the analysis, there was weak evidence for a specific effect of homoeopathic remedies, but strong evidence for specific effects of conventional interventions. This finding is compatible with the notion that the clinical effects of homoeopathy are placebo effects.
The placebo effect is merely a scientific way to say that the immune system is effectively engaged. I’d say a mechanism that can do that is valuable. Also, I’m really tired of you. Your narrow minded arrogance is not only tedious, but makes your eminently hirable as a pharmaceutical shill.
Millions of people use homeopathy to trigger “the placebo effect” successfully, and heal. That seems to drive you mad. Good.
If this isn't an admission that homeopathy is BS, then I don't know what is. Thank you for proving my point.
What makes me mad is that people are able to gain profits and accreditations based on this scam, all the worse because they are preying on peoples' health concerns, which is immoral and wrong.
Whatever.
Whoa. Gunrunner, you got owned, with that counter-argument of Talisker's.
Yeah, gonna need some homeopathic cream to ease that burn.
You're right, you live to offend.
You are awful.
