So do you think Homeopathy doesnt work? i am confused from the speech. Anyway i ve had a good experience with homeo medicine, when i had kidney stones, it got better in two weeks of use, than conventional medicine. Thats the only remedy that worked for me!!! Moreover the tincture was not diluted, it was very strong
@WTBbboyNAME actually, that part of the presentation came directly from a medical doctor giving a presentation about his interactions with MRI's: He relayed his account of a "mysterious black film" showing up on the MRI units, eventually identified as mascara. It's only because the MRI units were, in fact, ripping the ferrous material in mascara off the faces of patients, that they began to request women wear no makeup during scans.
@WTBbboyNAME I find it relatively easy to believe. It's fairly common knowledge that there is iron in mascara. Iron is magnetic. Proof #1.
You don't even realize that you offered the second proof. M.R.I. stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. What that does is create an electromagnetic field around the machine, then use the radiation frequency (essentially particles bouncing around the field) to create an image. If you took Physics, you know that the only thing that can interfere... is a MAGNET!

Homeopathy (from wikipedia) uses many animal, plant, mineral, and synthetic substances in its remedies.
So that's marijuana, cocaine, opium, magic mushrooms etc etc. shit that works or definatley has an affect. A lot of good stuff but he's not unfalable by any means they use leaches in proper hospitals, maggots to treat gangrene etc, the list goes on.
@honkstafarian I think the main problem that scientists have with homeopathy is that they don't use animal,plant , mineral and synthetic substances in their remedies. They dilute everything so many times that by the time they're finished all you'll get in their remedies is water or a sugar pill.
a powerfull magnet will make you float but it will alsow kill you :-( if you want to improve youre bloodflow you have to change youre diet :-) you can use niacine ( a coenzime of vitamine b3) that will give you a flush :-) but not al niacine on the market is the real deal :-( alsow garlic will help to improve youre bloodflow :-) etc etc
@BaronVonLichtenstein Leeches don't consume dead tissue, they only drink blood. They are sometimes used to promote blood flow after surgery, for example if someone has had a severed finger reattached. MAGGOTS bred in sterile conditions can be used to consume gangrenous tissue. The contemporary use of leeches has nothing to do with how they were used in the practice of bloodletting, which was based on the theory of the four bodily humours.
Leeches to bleed, maggots to eat deat flesh, are all being used in hospitals around the world. When Science says someting can't be detected its actually saying we don't know how to detect the effects yet. Your lecture style is dynamic and alive and to be congratulated as you influence people who don't have a clue how to question YOUR beliefs.
@BLUELUTRA Sorry, my sister practices this quackery. I really didn't know what it was at first but started to become skeptical the more she started talking about it. I had no previous experience with this. Not knowing how to detect the effects means it is not scientific. Scientific methods requires being able to duplicate the experiment. Otherwise it's just guessing, just as he explained.
@terriergal As I wrote, when science says something can't be detected its saying they don't have the methods to detect it. The reason science can't detect the effects is because its a subjective experience, science is objective and you can't be objective about the subjective.
I am not an homeopath but you should remeber this, we live in a quantum universe. most of what Newton and Einstein said is now outdated.
Free energy has been here for a while ,But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Free yourself!
All disease is inflamation, inflamation is caused by free radicals. Free radicals are caused by toxins, lack of oxygen to cells and stress (physical and mental).
Truely clean water is rare, tap water is far from it. Drinking tap water (because of all the toxins and chemicals in it) for years can cause alot of different problems.
Magnet therapy might be more of a placebo, but I don't really know.
While some of this video is true, alot of it is hype and nonsense.
Even though he's wrong about a fact, it actually backs up his point more. We don't give people a version of a disease, and that makes them immune. We give them an INERT form of the disease, and our bodies make antibodies from that.
simply obnoxious! i quess that if people did pay for any alternative medical system, it would still be well spent that listening to someone who does not have all the facts. i may be wrong, but is he even an authority...or just a comedian trying to make ends meet???
If you want to know, Any1 can be A Homeopathic Specialist and prescribe it any place & it is Prescribed in England. Me knot knowing you & Not even gone to your page I can Assure you 100% that you can open up A "clinic" tonight. This looks like the Same forum that James Randy & pals speak at.
PART 1: Well, i hope that before you say anything, you also have to know your facts. I am studying to be a homeopath and it's not a fly by night thing. However, i do suggest people to be objective about things. I have experience the worst of conventional medication and the benefits of homeopathic system, who is to say that i did not become healthier??? certainly, even the conventional doctors are amazed at the results.
PART 2: I have also go to one of the so-called therapeutic touch doctor and am healthier. Have done documentation that even conventional doctors can't explain adherring to their standards. There are fake conventional and complementary practioners every where, we are all adults and should have the capacity to analyze and discern what is good for us. We do not need obnoxious people making fun of others just because they do not understand things. That would simply be bigotry!
PART 3: If you simply give up your RIGHT to evaluate the most appropriate health system so that you can blame others for your indecision, then that falls on you. Again, people should not go around discrediting others just because what they say seems different from what we know. Open up your mind to the possibility of discovering new things and you might just be amazed by what the higher powers might reveal to you each day. Good day!
No 1 is saying that concentration of a substance Wont cause A reaction, The point is that if you take 1 decagram and add it to a Volume of water the size of Earth Then shake it 10x in each 3 dimentions Then Again Add it to the size of water the size of The WHOLE UNIVERSES Occupied space; Then Shake it again in The 3D's 10x. After All that Take 1 Randomized Placement collection As A usable Sample & Pray for A Placebo Effect.
Thats what the 10X 30X 100X is "The more diluted The Better it Works"
@M1ST3RHYDE, heres how intelligent people function; They listen to every side and keep the info in the back of their mind for later reference. Believing with certainty, virtually nothing.
Unintelligent people just believe whatever they believe the majority APPEARS to believe at the moment. And the corporations thrive on it, don't be one of these people.
Are you sayn that I have not looked at the data which lead me to my conclusion & if so did you use ur own advise to judge me? No fact will ever prove a hypothesis but one or more could disprove it. Homeopothy is not a real cure for illness, It only has a high rate of placibo effect due to the great care of Homeopathists.
I as well as anyone looking for Truth in logic & Medicine are not impressed by Anecdotal "Evidence". It Is NEVER Remark-Able.
If Even 1 "Dr." would present testable proof that water has Memory And that memory can be wiped clean then reactivated to Cure using the crazier claim that Like Cures Like Then they would Win A number of Nobel Prizes: Including explaining the Missing 70+% missing Matter in the Universe.
Doctors that Are "AMAZED" by this are doctors that should not be practicing Medicine, Maybe they Are Doctor of Philosophy or something of that nature. Real Doctors and Us Men Of Science Are Very Rearly "AMAZED" When something Extra Ordinary happens It calls for A HHHM, Interesting. The people that Are "AMAZED" are the same type of people that Are Amazed by LDA in the Amorphous Phase of Ice. Some things look "AMAZING" or unexplained but They always have A reason.
Well, if you cannot be AMAZED by the simple things in life without admitting to the fact that not everything can be explained at the moment, it is just a wonder what it would take to make you be AMAZED. Anyways, I am not here to convince you, so please remain as you are until the apple falls on your head!
I now understand why u think Highly of Claims like & including homeopathy Despite all Evidence that show it being False in every way.
Obviously U do not understand even the most apparent remarks made by Others by you not reading what is actually infront of you aswell as doing your own Ad-Libbing.
Example: ME- Very Rearly Amazed When something EXTRA ORDINARY happens.
U translated it into "Well, if you cannot be AMAZED by the SIMPLE THINGS in life"
i agree. however i am on an energetic balancing program that delivers the balancing fequencies differently then through the deluted water method. it works through the halographic principal, it forces me to self heal 24/7 non stop any imbalances that i may have.
There isn't a witch hunt. Webster's definition of a witch doctor is a person who practices medicine involving the use of magic, as among primitive societies. I can see where there might be some confusion. Homeopaths believe that they are really giving effective drugs, so there is no magic involved. It does look like magic to other people.
Homeopaths desperately search for evidence and explanations. Witches just know it works, because they see the results in their patients. (anecdotes)
What the hell kind of nonsense crap is that? "my" "burdensome" "walls of my logic"? I draw logic from things I see all around me. I choose to follow a path of common sense. Quacks, religious people, frauds, are examples of people that don't follow common sense and logic.
@harly30 ok, you can make your stupidly lofty statements, but you have yet to address the numerous arguments undoubtedly disproving the effects of homeopathy. so continue to live in ignorance, it's pretty fun if you don't think about it
He is 100% right. My family is big into some of this stuff and it's like they're blind to the truth. They're not only wasting their money, but health fraud can also be dangerous when people turn to "alternative," unproven methods of healing instead of actually seeing a real doctor.
My sister did Reiki on me once for free (as that's what she does) because I wanted to see for myself. I felt absolutely no difference. I can testify it is baloney.
how do you decide? Simple my friend, check it out and test it, once it has worked on you a thousand good scientific arguments against homeopathy will be worthless - in fact the debunkers of homeopathy will appear to to be like the church in the middle ages that just couldnt accpet that the world is round and they too thought they had all the good arguments, but alas they too despite all their shouting were just plain wrong
i agree i have always said "dont knock it until you try it" when it comes to all alternative medicin. the aurgument even states that it isnt dangerous after all its just water,right. so what do you have to loose. if it works for you then it is worth the gamble of the money and if it doesnt then at least you will know for yourself.
first of all none of you people know what homeopathy is. homeopathy works on the bases of the energetic properties of it ,not the ingredients of it. human beings are far more electrical then they are chemical this is why mainstream medicin never really works. but i doubt any of you are smart enough to get your mind wrapped around the smallest scientific principals.
Your probaly right davluc1. Out of the million visitors youtube has, you are probably the only one who understands this. Maybe even in the whole world? Must make you feel really special...idiot!
yeah im the only one that understands it and supports it. if you dont count the thousands of homeopaths and alternative health care providers all around the world. In europe 40% of the population chooses natural health care services insted of the mainstream crap. over there it isnt even considered alternative because it is so common. Americans are stupid for the most part for beleiving the media nonsence.
Everything you've said... is absolutely messed up. Firstly, Homeopathy may claim to work with "energetic properties" ; most scientists disagree with homeopathic ontology - the very first principles. Usually the normal scientific methodology, accept medical framework: we can determine that most PO therapies work through "their ingredients" which is why it is explained in such a fashion.
If homeopathy is "electric" or "energetic" (?), it would be measurable.
how is the placebo effect measurable? the reason the placebo effect works to a degree is because everything is energy. therefor thoughts and emotions are energy .sometimes the positive thoughts or emotions that stem from the thought of being treated or cured is the right energy to bring the imbalance into harmony. if you give any credibility to the placebo effect, what you are really doing is giving creditability to energy healing. placebo and homeopathy both work because of energy.
Why are you changing the subject? The Placebo effect doesn't need to be apart of this discussion: it is usually measured as a statistical data (positive vs negative outcome, clinical trials etc). Otherwise it is studied through MRIs imaging which both detects inhibitory and excitability neurochemical changes within the CNS. That's normal, interesting science. It is rightly postulated that the ingredients do not cause change but psychological perceptions cause neurochemical changes.
...homeopathy on the other hand is not claiming to be a placebo effect to be effective. It is claiming that it has alternative "natural" mechanisms to promote curing and/or caring. Mechanisms which do have not been shown to exist or have an impact on health outside of the placebo effect. So no, giving credibility to the placebo effect does NOT give credibility to homeopathic knowledge.
no one ever claimed that being happy does not increase health outcomes. jheez.
wrong! what hopmeopathy claims is that a specific vibration"energy" is charged to the ingredients and delivered through the vehicle of water that acts as the conductor. the ingredients are irrelevant,it is the energetic frequency that makes it work. But i know you are probably going to argue with everything that me or common sence could tell you .
I think my last message didn't post. You never outlined what I said was wrong.
You can repeatedly claim how homeopathy works; however the burden of proof will always be on you to show it through theory/laws and empirical evidence. And there is none.
Homeopathy makes these broad "mechanisms" that miraculously work on ALL disease despite differing etiology - cancer, asthma, cataracts etc.
Water memory and vibrations are a hoax that have been made up. Sorry to say.
pharmaceutical drugs are a bigger hoax. we are suppose to trust these so-called test that we havent witnessed for ourselves. these test have been paid for by the same companies trying to make money off of them. they either do fraudulent test or keep doing the experiment untill they get the results they want. this is why there are always so many re-calls on fda approved drugs. at least homeopathy have people that testify that works in real life. mainstream medicin can not make that claim.
The best part is that you've broadly brushed every single pharmaceutical drug out there, many which save lives. Anti-biotic for h.pylori to chemotherapy regiments which save lives and increase quality of life.
You haven't even bothered to pick some controversial examples. Even if you did, there will always be 10 times more examples of drugs that work. AND most drugs come with claims of adverse/side effects studied in clinical trials.
anti-biotics really means anti-bacteria. there are different ones for different types of bacteria. when you go to a doctor with a cold they usually assume it is caused by bacteria and without testing to see if it is really a virus they perscribe an anti-biotic instead, they dont even test to see if it is the right type of anti biotic for the type of bacteria you have. instead they usually just give you the drug that they get the most commision on.
never the less all anti-biotics kills ALL bacteria in the intestine even the good bacteria that is the backbone of health and the immune system. without this good bacteria a yeast begins to grow and can spread through out your entire body causing health issues through your entire life. and dont tell me that crap about chemotherapy saving lives and increasing the quality of lives. it is poison. i have watched two members of my family be poisoned to death by this crap.
Though you may think that chemotherapy is crap, and often it gives ethical issues of quality of life, prognosis etc - it is still backed up medical science. However, since the 50s, people have been living longer despite cancer (their quality of life just sucks - it's their own decision according to bodily autonomy laws).
Even then, there are many cancers which are cured such as leukemia - low chance of relapse.
"Homeopathy record: ZERO. No effect." i laughed out loud when i heard that statment. homeopaths cure cancer all the time all around the world. but by law they are not allowed to anounce it, at least not in america. do you know by law that only a patentable drug is allowed to cure disease. no joke. the big pharma companies lobbied until they got that law passed. so vitamin c isnt allowed to cure scurvy any more.
I think you're just retarded now. Though patenting drugs is definitely a political process; homeopathy fails to show any evidence of curing; let alone any kind of non-placebo therapeutic effect. Whenever something positive is shown, it is failed to be replicated. Pharmaceutical drugs are in testing for 20 years - repeating trials over and over again.
People are never "cured" of cancer by homeopathy.
Pharmaceutical drugs that exist are not exclusively "curing" drugs anyway.
Seriously... even if your information is right about how pharmaceutical companies control the world: you should be trying to change the government-financial system which promotes this injustice. Not throw out a system of healing and replacing it with a system of... water. :|
Btw, certain substances are not patented-able like water. Vitamin C may or may not be related (or the process of creating Vit. C is patented); but it's true American law is fucked up. So change American law.
it is the pharmaceutical companies that lobby congress and make back-room deals and pay off politicians to get such wack laws. these same people pay off the so-called test to get the results they want. they also launch million dollar campaigns to discredit all natural ,unpatentable cures for disease. this money hungry attitude is why they havent cured a disease since polio and never will again. God forbid they put the cancer industry out of business.
and since you love playing the anecdotal game: I see cancer cured all the time by chemotherapy. Recently one friend passed the mark for Leukemia and another had a successful thyroid treatment. My aunt had breast cancer a while ago and within a few months she will pass the point where relapse is rare. I've been blessed by luck.
what if you descovered a cure for cancer that was inexpensive and 100% cured all cancer and viruses with absolutley no side effects. there is something that does this , and im not talking about homeopathy . but it has been discredited at great lengths by the money hungry medical establishment desprite to save there profits.
Yeah, there is possibly that maybe some drug companies suppress this. I am still skeptical since I believe it is only a hypothetical position that has no existed.
I base this on these so called miracle drugs that cure Cancer AND Viruses - without any risk (Adverse effects). I doubt their existance since curing/caring for viral infections and cancers are extremely different. And cancer treatments, etiology, pathologies themselves are extremely varied. More miracle cures that do not exist (yet)
i accept the fact that you will never understand homeopathy. that is your decision. it doesnt really matter as long as you do beleive in all natural medicin. there are cures for everything. I could actually tell you what they are but i dont think your ready to accept it right now. i just urge you to not let your skepticism cheat you out of a healthier,happier life. Dont be so scared of being had that you let the truth pass you by.
Please, your patronization isn't necessary. Most skeptics have malleable beliefs which alter according to new evidence - always looking for new creative ways to solve problem. However, studies (positivism) are used to differentiate truth from non-truth.
Homeopathy (not all alt. medicine) enthusiasts who consistently bash medicine have a set of beliefs which are not affected by evidence. So I accept the fact that they will never understand medicine due to rigid beliefs.
"However, studies (positivism) are used to differentiate truth from non-truth." this statement made me laugh. boy are you gullable. "studies" are controlled to get the desired result. the desired result always being money. terms like "acceptable risks" should be your first sign. but whatever i done gave up on you. good luck in staying healthy your going to need it.
it is very funny that not one person since i posted the above statement has asked what this cure for cancer is. this speaks volumes of the intention of those that post to this site. your only goal is to discredit real cures. God forbid someone ask me and i actually get this info out. however i dont see anybody on this page that deserves such knowledge.
Seriously - can you even give an example that antibiotics can ruin a person's intestines forever ever. Yes, it is a risk and that's why antibiotics are given for actual reasons and not on a whim. There is always weighing of risks and benefits i.e curing an arm infection and a woman may get a yeast infection. The yeast infection is generally an OK risk.
If that is your issue: then you should put your effort into medical ethics and patient autonomy: Not a belief system on wishful thinking.
when doctors first started giving antibiotics they would also prescribe pro-biotics to reinstate the good "flora" that the antibiotics killed. they stoped doing so when they realized that it would be more profitable in the long run to not prescribe probiotics with the antibiotics.
Still, that is laughable. Within the last month I was reading best practice guidelines and hospital policy where at risk groups are given probiotics (if it is forgotten, the pharmacist will add it in). Probiotics also are grounded in science and research, btw, not magical homeopathy.
You're more paranoid than anything, which adds to the crazy.
probiotics are grounded in alternative natural medicin, not pharmecuetical crap. the "at risk" comment was rediculouse. everyone is at risk if they have ever took an antibiotic. even antibiotics that get transfered thru the antibiotics in meat .
Er, no, probiotics is grounded in natural science.
That's what is wonderful about science and "medicine" - when new data is gathered it changes to accommodate new research. Alternative medicines ceases to be alternative and just regular ol' medicine. Wikipedia demonstrates how this is done with a historical lens.
Not all "alternative medicine" is equal - some can very well (with more research and evidence) become mainstream medicine. Homeopathy, will never get that far.
" AND most drugs come with claims of adverse/side effects studied in clinical trials." yeah tell me how stupid a person would have to be to take a drug that causes more problems then it fixes. the commercials with a list of side effects long as your arm is a laughable thing in most peoples eyes. they try to fix one thing while causing other helth problems down the road. you can see how this is very profitable for the big pharm companies. it insures future business.
See, now you actually make real assertions it can be shown that you are terribly misinformed. GPs generally only give BROAD SPECTRUM antibiotics ie tetracyclines if there was no culture done for dx. No one guesses for gram positive/negative bacteria unless the symptoms are right on.
Here is a secret: some physicians don't care to cure colds unless necessary. if they were wrong they're happy with the placebo effect
Do "homeopathists" have different types of water for different bacteria? LOL.
hmm i wonder if anyone knows that Hannehman was a medical doctor before he first wrote of homeopathy or that he lived to 92. I wonder if anyone has bothered seeing how many people that man cured, what he cured them of etc. What's funny is the complete idiocy of the ignorant.
Haha probably because Brian is a much loved person and wishes to stay that way? If he disproved religion, I very highly doubt he would leave the venue fully intact.

Its today's conventional medicine that makes money out of people. Homeopathy cures and you dont need to turn back to the healer unlike allopathic doctors.
I just hope that people will see the light in it.
Sure some homeopaths work for free. There is no reason to turn back to the healer. When given water and hope of cure the only thing left is for nature to take its course. Your method is OK for self limiting conditions and most of the time the patient recovers. Homeopathy is given the credit for the cure.
This method has many short comings. For many they are sick longer and for some complications occur. When they get very sick they then seek real treatment, sometimes too late.
Placebo effect, unless all the laws of chemistry has changed. The person who proves it should get a Nobel Prize. So I'd strongly suggest "mohanaturo " : if you really really really think this is the case, go and get the Nobel prize proving it's true. Or win the $1.000.000 prize at james Randi Foundation. Everybody would be happy with this: You'd prove your point, science would advance, patients would have a scientific and reliable medicine.
The homeopathic medicine that has undergone a significant number of studies is the popular flu remedy Oscillococcinum. Three large-scale studies (over 300 patients in each) conducted by three groups of independent researchers have consistently found positive results in using this remedy to treat influenza (Vickers and Smith, 2005).
The study also found that those people given a homeopathic experienced more rapid relief: 67.3% experienced improvement with homeopathy within 3 days, while only 56.6% of patients given conventional medicines experienced improvement (16.4% of homeopathic patients improved within 24 hours; 5.7% in other group).(Riley, et al, 2001)
The study found 83% of patients receiving homeopathic care experienced improvement, while only 68% of those receiving a conventional medication experienced a similar degree of improvement.
An impressive international study that involved 30 clinicians in 6 clinics in 4 countries enrolled 500 consecutive patients with upper respiratory tract complaints, lower respiratory tract complaints, or ear complaints.

A couple of other comments: homeopathy doesn't cure diseases. That is true. But it does often boost the immune system in individuals who are then healed (like myself). Also, medicine has not, I repeat has not, adopted any of the discoveries of quantum physics. Allopathy is an Newtonian system.
by boosting the immune system, do you mean it makes it go overactive? And what part of quantum mechanics specifically can be scaled up to the macroscale specifically to help the immune system or any other bodily function?
My immune system was put into overdrive almost immediately after taking the remedy evidenced by a 104 degree fever for 4 days. There is evidence that fevers do heal.
The Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm has accomplished stunning victories but has become SCIENTISM which is the belief that no reality save that revealed by science exists and no truth save that which science delivers.
see, If I take some strange drug and then immediately afterward I get a high fever, I'd consider that a bad thing.
and please accurately define scientism, I'm pretty sure you're the first person I've ever heard use the term, and the definition "The belief that no reality save that revealed by science exists and no truth save that which science delivers." makes absolutely no sense to me, logically, syntactically or grammatically.
There are interesting data on high, persistent fevers proceeding unexplained remission of cancers. I don't know why, but we instantly assume that a fever is a "bad thing" when in fact it can be a "good thing."
Let me look for that source regarding scientism as I was quoting from memory ....

This guy is an accomplished entertainer and is probably making a good living from his act. I take my hat off to him. Yet, I had chronic bronchitis for 10 years, getting very, very sick 3-4 times a year and taking a wide variety of medicine prescribed to me. The docs said there was nothing that could be done and it may get worse as I age. Fast forward 5 years .... I am healed. It is as if I never had it. Why? Because I was treated by a Classical Homeopath.
Is it possible that your bodily system was able to fight off the chronic bronchitis on its own(or even with some help from the medicines you were prescribed.) and it was just a coincidence that it got better when you were taking homeopathic remedies?
I'd like to promote something if it worked, and unfortunately homeopathy hasn't been shown to work when blinded studies are done to test its efficacy.
There is no allopathic cure for chronic bronchitis with its constant lung infections and fever. I had a low grade fever for two weeks, a sign of a lung infection, but was able to function. I went to the homeopath, took the remedy and within the hour my fever shot up to 104 degrees where it stayed for 4 days. I was unable to leave the bed. Breathing was difficult and thought I was going to suffocate. Almost 5 years later I have never had another attack. I am healed friend. And it is wonderful!
Seriously? Are you claiming that the homeopath cured you? Or that your body's natural defenses managed to overcome a lung infection? Which explanation seems more likely - a water pill curing you, or your immune system taking care of an infection? Also, your personal experience is not very compelling. If homeopathy really worked (were able to do what you claimed it did for you) its affects would be testable. And, time and time again, homeopathy has been shown to be ineffective in trials.
I am claiming that a decade of lung infections, fevers and coughing was healed by my immune system that was sparked by a homeopathic remedy. I understand why you are incredulous but there are healings that happen everyday that medical science can't explain.
While I would certainly agree that medical science cannot explain some things, I find your acceptance of homeopathy to be unfounded. Statistically improbable things happen on a regular basis, just not to a lot of people. It is entirely possible that your experience was simply an unlikely coincidence. You should consider this explanation before making a claim regarding the efficacy of homeopathy. Also, science acknowledges events that it cannot explain, given a statistically significant effect.
After 10 years of suffering and working with traditional medicine then to being symptom free for 4 years after homeopathy I cannot consider my healing a coincidence. I know a woman who was dx'd with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, had surgery, then was told the cancer had spread to her liver and spleen and she would die. She began to work with a healer that did long-distance healing. She has been cancer-free for several years now. Would I argue with her over her healing? Certainly not!
Yes, I'd have to say that I would. Please watch video 10 of this series. He does a nice job of explaining our poor intuition about the way probability works. Also, once again, this is simply an anecdote. If this was a real effect, we would be able to show that it is such. Even given several hundred similar anecdotes, I would not be willing to bet my health on such a remedy. Give me sever well designed and controlled studies that support your claims, and I may begin to change my opinion.
Years ago a European consortium tried to prove Dr. Benveniste's findings regarding the efficacy of high dilutions wrong yet could not. Dr. Ennis, who led the research, was forced to admit: "The results compel me to suspend my disbelief and start searching for rational explanations for our findings." Yet the consortium's results were only published in an obscure journal years after the fact.
Curious as to how I would challenge her ... her MD would pull out her medical records and say "Maybe we made a mistake" or "Whatever you did worked" and that would be that as far as her oncologist would be concerned.
If you have evidence of the success of homeopathy you could make lots of money. Of course, you'd have to prove it in a proper trial... Which is where pseudo-science falls on it's arse.
I think you misunderstand. The money I speak of would come from the book deals, talk shows, consultancy work, etc, etc. Doing the impossible is worth a lot of money and, so far, proving the efficacy of homeopathy has been imposible.
Homeopathic remedies are from natural substances and so cannot be patented. It would be like trying to patent an oak tree. The patented medicine sold over the counter labeled as "homeopathic" (Zicam comes to mind) isn't really homeopathic. If you are really interested in looking into research done on the efficacy of diluted substances I recommend Lynne McTaggart's book "The Field" with its account of Benveniste research. It is a good read all round.
Anyway, this is a sidetrack. Point was, anyone proving homeopathy works would make money, with or without patents. Money is usually a good incentive... So where are the people who can prove it works?
The gentleman I mentioned in the previous post has proven the efficacy of super diluted substances and his account is given in "The Field". His findings were confirmed by an independent European consortium bent on disproving them yet the results of this consortium were only published years later in an obscure journal. Mainstream scientific journals won't touch the subject. In fact, the careers of those who do are ruined by the establishment.
I did not mention "conspiracy." If you are interested in reading this account you know where it can be found. The facts are there ... and all the names of those involved. Honestly, I understand one's reluctance to accept the efficacy of diluted substances as it cannot be explained by the Newtonian-Cartesian system. Our current biologic/medical model has not taken into account - at all - the discoveries in quantum physics in the last 80 years.
Oh dear. I knew quantum theory was going to come into it sooner or later. I can tell you that quantum effects can have a zero influence on the memory of water to the extent that multi-molecule imprints are there. Water at room temperature has an internal velocity of around 500 m/s (about 1,100 mph) for each molecule. If there is a whole left in it - it would soon be lost. These are classical laws- no quantum effect needed.
Well, quite. So, what makes homepathic remedies different form water, if we are to pay a practitioner for them? I'm reminded of that quackiest of all quacks, Emoto.
Homeopathic remedies are diluted water, extreme concentrations of dihydrogen monoxide. It is known that water does affect health, as people sometimes drown in it or are scalded by hot water. But really, homeopathy is pure unadulterated bullshit, just like acupuncture, reiki, aura-therapy, emotional freedom tech, $cientology etc ad nauseum.
That pesky dihydrogen monoxide, people say you need it and then the sucker drowns you. I don't know who to trust anymore.
Like magnets. I had this awesome shiny electromagnet in the lab once and managed to convince this undergrad that it would rip the hemoglobin out of his body. He then told all his idiot friends in the bar. This was twenty years ago and I think that I am somewhat to blame. I still tell my students that neodymium magnets will do the same. And they believe me too!
OK, so chemistry isn't my strong point (astronomy is more my forte) but a least I don't think, like some sad deluded idiots, that water has a magical memory and can cure illnesses by merely having a very slight passing acquaintance with some noxious substance. BTW I have a BA Hons Degree in English, so you'd be better off criticising my spelling, punctuation and grammar. :)
Uhmmm... What? For one, it should be commonly known by now that water is a COMPOUND. Anyone who's been in high school knows this. And second, I don't recall anyone criticizing your spelling, punctuation, or grammar... Hmmm I can't shake this strange feeling that i've had a similar run in with you were you were acting like you knew so much but really didn't... must just be my imagination... or not?
"I can't shake this strange feeling that i've had a similar run in with you..." You seem familiar, but then, there are so many youtubers who quibble over minor mistakes and miss the big picture. I've had so many run-ins with neurotically pedantic nit-picking anally-retentive smart-asses. Oy maybe you're someone who actually believes in homeopathy and are trying, indirectly, to defend it?
Other than the fact that you just used words that I for one don't know the meaning of, but many other viewers also don't know the meaning of, thus making your insults pointless, you seem to be very confused and mislead, if you had paid any attention I was merely stating that, my insults are understandable (thank god), your a dumbfuck.
Just 'cos you're too stupid, ignorant and illiterate to understand common english doesn't mean you can project your own pathetic disabilities onto everyoone else. I don't dumb down my comments so even the most brain-dead imbeciles can comprehend them. If you're too bloody stupid to understand words, and too fucking lazy to even bother to try and look them up, that's your problem, you feeble-minded gobshite.
Why should I take the time to look up the words you arrogant bastard? Obviously you've never studied anything about human nature, you may be smart, and use these words, but humans as a whole are stubborn, no one is going to take the time to find what they mean, unless they aspire to become the arrogant type of person you are, or are merely curious, but odds are no ones going to care. Why? Because this is youtube. Now would you kindly fuck off.

Meh, the message this guy presents is ok. My biggest issue is how he claims that MRIs are strong enough to "rip mascara of a woman's face."
cmon now. Mascara isn't allowed because its compounds can blur/interfere with imaging. using false claims to further his agenda.... hypocrisy!
WTBbboyNAME 4 months ago
@WTBbboyNAME actually, that part of the presentation came directly from a medical doctor giving a presentation about his interactions with MRI's: He relayed his account of a "mysterious black film" showing up on the MRI units, eventually identified as mascara. It's only because the MRI units were, in fact, ripping the ferrous material in mascara off the faces of patients, that they began to request women wear no makeup during scans.

@WTBbboyNAME I find it relatively easy to believe. It's fairly common knowledge that there is iron in mascara. Iron is magnetic. Proof #1.
You don't even realize that you offered the second proof. M.R.I. stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. What that does is create an electromagnetic field around the machine, then use the radiation frequency (essentially particles bouncing around the field) to create an image. If you took Physics, you know that the only thing that can interfere... is a MAGNET!

Homeopathy (from wikipedia) uses many animal, plant, mineral, and synthetic substances in its remedies.
So that's marijuana, cocaine, opium, magic mushrooms etc etc. shit that works or definatley has an affect. A lot of good stuff but he's not unfalable by any means they use leaches in proper hospitals, maggots to treat gangrene etc, the list goes on.

Leeches do have theraputic value. They inject pain killers, antibiotics and consume rotten flesh.

@BaronVonLichtenstein Leeches don't consume dead tissue, they only drink blood. They are sometimes used to promote blood flow after surgery, for example if someone has had a severed finger reattached. MAGGOTS bred in sterile conditions can be used to consume gangrenous tissue. The contemporary use of leeches has nothing to do with how they were used in the practice of bloodletting, which was based on the theory of the four bodily humours.

@BLUELUTRA Sorry, my sister practices this quackery. I really didn't know what it was at first but started to become skeptical the more she started talking about it.

Otherwise it's just guessing, just as he explained.

@terriergal As I wrote, when science says something can't be detected its saying they don't have the methods to detect it. The reason science can't detect the effects is because its a subjective experience, science is objective and you can't be objective about the subjective.

There isn't a witch hunt. Webster's definition of a witch doctor is a person who practices medicine involving the use of magic, as among primitive societies. I can see where there might be some confusion. Homeopaths believe that they are really giving effective drugs, so there is no magic involved. It does look like magic to other people.
Homeopaths desperately search for evidence and explanations. Witches just know it works, because they see the results in their patients. (anecdotes)

guidav123 2 years ago
Everything you've said... is absolutely messed up. Firstly, Homeopathy may claim to work with "energetic properties" ; most scientists disagree with homeopathic ontology - the very first principles. Usually the normal scientific methodology, accept medical framework: we can determine that most PO therapies work through "their ingredients" which is why it is explained in such a fashion.
If homeopathy is "electric" or "energetic" (?), it would be measurable.
yenmano 2 years ago
how is the placebo effect measurable? the reason the placebo effect works to a degree is because everything is energy. therefor thoughts and emotions are energy .sometimes the positive thoughts or emotions that stem from the thought of being treated or cured is the right energy to bring the imbalance into harmony. if you give any credibility to the placebo effect, what you are really doing is giving creditability to energy healing. placebo and homeopathy both work because of energy.
guidav123 2 years ago
Why are you changing the subject? The Placebo effect doesn't need to be apart of this discussion: it is usually measured as a statistical data (positive vs negative outcome, clinical trials etc). Otherwise it is studied through MRIs imaging which both detects inhibitory and excitability neurochemical changes within the CNS. That's normal, interesting science. It is rightly postulated that the ingredients do not cause change but psychological perceptions cause neurochemical changes.
yenmano 2 years ago
...homeopathy on the other hand is not claiming to be a placebo effect to be effective. It is claiming that it has alternative "natural" mechanisms to promote curing and/or caring. Mechanisms which do have not been shown to exist or have an impact on health outside of the placebo effect. So no, giving credibility to the placebo effect does NOT give credibility to homeopathic knowledge.
no one ever claimed that being happy does not increase health outcomes. jheez.
yenmano 2 years ago
wrong! what hopmeopathy claims is that a specific vibration"energy" is charged to the ingredients and delivered through the vehicle of water that acts as the conductor. the ingredients are irrelevant,it is the energetic frequency that makes it work.

yenmano 2 years ago
anti-biotics really means anti-bacteria. there are different ones for different types of bacteria. when you go to a doctor with a cold they usually assume it is caused by bacteria and without testing to see if it is really a virus they perscribe an anti-biotic instead, they dont even test to see if it is the right type of anti biotic for the type of bacteria you have. instead they usually just give you the drug that they get the most commision on.
guidav123 2 years ago
never the less all anti-biotics kills ALL bacteria in the intestine even the good bacteria that is the backbone of health and the immune system. without this good bacteria a yeast begins to grow and can spread through out your entire body causing health issues through your entire life. and dont tell me that crap about chemotherapy saving lives and increasing the quality of lives. it is poison. i have watched two members of my family be poisoned to death by this crap.
guidav123 2 years ago
Though you may think that chemotherapy is crap, and often it gives ethical issues of quality of life, prognosis etc - it is still backed up medical science. However, since the 50s, people have been living longer despite cancer (their quality of life just sucks - it's their own decision according to bodily autonomy laws).
Even then, there are many cancers which are cured such as leukemia - low chance of relapse.

"Homeopathy record: ZERO.

guidav123 2 years ago
I think you're just retarded now. Though patenting drugs is definitely a political process; homeopathy fails to show any evidence of curing; let alone any kind of non-placebo therapeutic effect. Whenever something positive is shown, it is failed to be replicated. Pharmaceutical drugs are in testing for 20 years - repeating trials over and over again.

Seriously - can you even give an example that antibiotics can ruin a person's intestines forever ever. Yes, it is a risk and that's why antibiotics are given for actual reasons and not on a whim. There is always weighing of risks and benefits i.e curing an arm infection and a woman may get a yeast infection. The yeast infection is generally an OK risk.
If that is your issue: then you should put your effort into medical ethics and patient autonomy: Not a belief system on wishful thinking.

when doctors first started giving antibiotics they would also prescribe pro-biotics to reinstate the good "flora" that the antibiotics killed. they stoped doing so when they realized that it would be more profitable in the long run to not prescribe probiotics with the antibiotics.

Still, that is laughable. Within the last month I was reading best practice guidelines and hospital policy where at risk groups are given probiotics (if it is forgotten, the pharmacist will add it in). Probiotics also are grounded in science and research, btw, not magical homeopathy.

That's what is wonderful about science and "medicine" - when new data is gathered it changes to accommodate new research. Alternative medicines ceases to be alternative and just regular ol' medicine. Wikipedia demonstrates how this is done with a historical lens.
Not all "alternative medicine" is equal - some can very well (with more research and evidence) become mainstream medicine. Homeopathy, will never get that far.

" AND most drugs come with claims of adverse/side effects studied in clinical trials." yeah tell me how stupid a person would have to be to take a drug that causes more problems then it fixes. the commercials with a list of side effects long as your arm is a laughable thing in most peoples eyes. they try to fix one thing while causing other helth problems down the road. you can see how this is very profitable for the big pharm companies. it insures future business.

See, now you actually make real assertions it can be shown that you are terribly misinformed. GPs generally only give BROAD SPECTRUM antibiotics ie tetracyclines if there was no culture done for dx. No one guesses for gram positive/negative bacteria unless the symptoms are right on.
Here is a secret: some physicians don't care to cure colds unless necessary. if they were wrong they're happy with the placebo effect
Do "homeopathists" have different types of water for different bacteria? LOL.

hmm i wonder if anyone knows that Hannehman was a medical doctor before he first wrote of homeopathy or that he lived to 92. I wonder if anyone has bothered seeing how many people that man cured, what he cured them of etc. What's funny is the complete idiocy of the ignorant.

Its today's conventional medicine that makes money out of people. Homeopathy cures and you dont need to turn back to the healer unlike allopathic doctors.
I just hope that people will see the light in it.
ysiblini 2 years ago
Sure some homeopaths work for free. There is no reason to turn back to the healer. When given water and hope of cure the only thing left is for nature to take its course. Your method is OK for self limiting conditions and most of the time the patient recovers. Homeopathy is given the credit for the cure.
This method has many short comings. For many they are sick longer and for some complications occur. When they get very sick they then seek real treatment, sometimes too late.

Placebo effect, unless all the laws of chemistry has changed. The person who proves it should get a Nobel Prize. So I'd strongly suggest "mohanaturo " : if you really really really think this is the case, go and get the Nobel prize proving it's true. Or win the $1.000.000 prize at james Randi Foundation. Everybody would be happy with this: You'd prove your point, science would advance, patients would have a scientific and reliable medicine.

The homeopathic medicine that has undergone a significant number of studies is the popular flu remedy Oscillococcinum. Three large-scale studies (over 300 patients in each) conducted by three groups of independent researchers have consistently found positive results in using this remedy to treat influenza (Vickers and Smith, 2005).

The study also found that those people given a homeopathic experienced more rapid relief: 67.3% experienced improvement with homeopathy within 3 days, while only 56.6% of patients given conventional medicines experienced improvement (16.4% of homeopathic patients improved within 24 hours; 5.7% in other group).(Riley, et al, 2001)

A couple of other comments: homeopathy doesn't cure diseases. That is true. But it does often boost the immune system in individuals who are then healed (like myself). Also, medicine has not, I repeat has not, adopted any of the discoveries of quantum physics. Allopathy is an Newtonian system.
kayumochi 2 years ago
by boosting the immune system, do you mean it makes it go overactive? And what part of quantum mechanics specifically can be scaled up to the macroscale specifically to help the immune system or any other bodily function?
Zetimenvec 2 years ago
My immune system was put into overdrive almost immediately after taking the remedy evidenced by a 104 degree fever for 4 days. There is evidence that fevers do heal.
The Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm has accomplished stunning victories but has become SCIENTISM which is the belief that no reality save that revealed by science exists and no truth save that which science delivers.
Science is a method. Not a stance.
kayumochi 2 years ago
see, If I take some strange drug and then immediately afterward I get a high fever, I'd consider that a bad thing.
and please accurately define scientism, I'm pretty sure you're the first person I've ever heard use the term, and the definition "The belief that no reality save that revealed by science exists and no truth save that which science delivers." makes absolutely no sense to me, logically, syntactically or grammatically.

There are interesting data on high, persistent fevers proceeding unexplained remission of cancers. I don't know why, but we instantly assume that a fever is a "bad thing" when in fact it can be a "good thing."

This guy is an accomplished entertainer and is probably making a good living from his act. I take my hat off to him. Yet, I had chronic bronchitis for 10 years, getting very, very sick 3-4 times a year and taking a wide variety of medicine prescribed to me. The docs said there was nothing that could be done and it may get worse as I age. Fast forward 5 years .... I am healed. It is as if I never had it. Why? Because I was treated by a Classical Homeopath.
kayumochi 2 years ago
Is it possible that your bodily system was able to fight off the chronic bronchitis on its own(or even with some help from the medicines you were prescribed.) and it was just a coincidence that it got better when you were taking homeopathic remedies?
I'd like to promote something if it worked, and unfortunately homeopathy hasn't been shown to work when blinded studies are done to test its efficacy.
Zetimenvec 2 years ago
There is no allopathic cure for chronic bronchitis with its constant lung infections and fever. I had a low grade fever for two weeks, a sign of a lung infection, but was able to function. I went to the homeopath, took the remedy and within the hour my fever shot up to 104 degrees where it stayed for 4 days. I was unable to leave the bed. Breathing was difficult and thought I was going to suffocate. Almost 5 years later I have never had another attack. I am healed friend. And it is wonderful!
kayumochi 2 years ago
Seriously? Are you claiming that the homeopath cured you? Or that your body's natural defenses managed to overcome a lung infection? Which explanation seems more likely - a water pill curing you, or your immune system taking care of an infection? Also, your personal experience is not very compelling. If homeopathy really worked (were able to do what you claimed it did for you) its affects would be testable. And, time and time again, homeopathy has been shown to be ineffective in trials.
jemremyc 2 years ago
I am claiming that a decade of lung infections, fevers and coughing was healed by my immune system that was sparked by a homeopathic remedy. I understand why you are incredulous but there are healings that happen everyday that medical science can't explain.
kayumochi 2 years ago 2
While I would certainly agree that medical science cannot explain some things, I find your acceptance of homeopathy to be unfounded. Statistically improbable things happen on a regular basis, just not to a lot of people. It is entirely possible that your experience was simply an unlikely coincidence. You should consider this explanation before making a claim regarding the efficacy of homeopathy. Also, science acknowledges events that it cannot explain, given a statistically significant effect.
jemremyc 2 years ago
After 10 years of suffering and working with traditional medicine then to being symptom free for 4 years after homeopathy I cannot consider my healing a coincidence. I know a woman who was dx'd with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, had surgery, then was told the cancer had spread to her liver and spleen and she would die. She began to work with a healer that did long-distance healing. She has been cancer-free for several years now. Would I argue with her over her healing? Certainly not!

Yes, I'd have to say that I would. Please watch video 10 of this series. He does a nice job of explaining our poor intuition about the way probability works. Also, once again, this is simply an anecdote. If this was a real effect, we would be able to show that it is such. Even given several hundred similar anecdotes, I would not be willing to bet my health on such a remedy. Give me sever well designed and controlled studies that support your claims, and I may begin to change my opinion.

Years ago a European consortium tried to prove Dr. Benveniste's findings regarding the efficacy of high dilutions wrong yet could not. Dr. Ennis, who led the research, was forced to admit: "The results compel me to suspend my disbelief and start searching for rational explanations for our findings." Yet the consortium's results were only published in an obscure journal years after the fact.

If you have evidence of the success of homeopathy you could make lots of money. Of course, you'd have to prove it in a proper trial... Which is where pseudo-science falls on it's arse.

Ask any homeopath, there is no money to be made in homeopathy because the remedies cannot be patented.
kayumochi 2 years ago
I think you misunderstand. The money I speak of would come from the book deals, talk shows, consultancy work, etc, etc. Doing the impossible is worth a lot of money and, so far, proving the efficacy of homeopathy has been imposible.
Why can't the remedies be patented, by the way?
dalaidahmer 2 years ago
Homeopathic remedies are from natural substances and so cannot be patented. It would be like trying to patent an oak tree. The patented medicine sold over the counter labeled as "homeopathic" (Zicam comes to mind) isn't really homeopathic. If you are really interested in looking into research done on the efficacy of diluted substances I recommend Lynne McTaggart's book "The Field" with its account of Benveniste research. It is a good read all round.
kayumochi 2 years ago
Anyway, this is a sidetrack. Point was, anyone proving homeopathy works would make money, with or without patents. Money is usually a good incentive... So where are the people who can prove it works?
dalaidahmer 2 years ago
The gentleman I mentioned in the previous post has proven the efficacy of super diluted substances and his account is given in "The Field". His findings were confirmed by an independent European consortium bent on disproving them yet the results of this consortium were only published years later in an obscure journal. Mainstream scientific journals won't touch the subject. In fact, the careers of those who do are ruined by the establishment.
kayumochi 2 years ago
Which journal? Why would nobody(there are over six billion people, remember) have reproduced it?
I do not for a moment believe that there is a conspiracy to hold homeopathy down. When you suggest there is, you do naught but dent your case.
dalaidahmer 2 years ago 3
I did not mention "conspiracy." If you are interested in reading this account you know where it can be found. The facts are there ... and all the names of those involved. Honestly, I understand one's reluctance to accept the efficacy of diluted substances as it cannot be explained by the Newtonian-Cartesian system. Our current biologic/medical model has not taken into account - at all - the discoveries in quantum physics in the last 80 years.

Oh dear. I knew quantum theory was going to come into it sooner or later. I can tell you that quantum effects can have a zero influence on the memory of water to the extent that multi-molecule imprints are there. Water at room temperature has an internal velocity of around 500 m/s (about 1,100 mph) for each molecule. If there is a whole left in it - it would soon be lost. These are classical laws- no quantum effect needed.

Homeopathic remedies are diluted water, extreme concentrations of dihydrogen monoxide. It is known that water does affect health, as people sometimes drown in it or are scalded by hot water. But really, homeopathy is pure unadulterated bullshit, just like acupuncture, reiki, aura-therapy, emotional freedom tech, $cientology etc ad nauseum.

That pesky dihydrogen monoxide, people say you need it and then the sucker drowns you. I don't know who to trust anymore.
Like magnets. I had this awesome shiny electromagnet in the lab once and managed to convince this undergrad that it would rip the hemoglobin out of his body. He then told all his idiot friends in the bar. This was twenty years ago and I think that I am somewhat to blame. I still tell my students that neodymium magnets will do the same.
