I'm amazed that you had cancer and didn't know what it actually is. But, before I explain it, I'd love to know exactly what you think cancer is. And you still have not explained how the drug worked. Nor have you offered me any evidence other than your say so. Anecdotes are not evidence. Try harder.

@wawei67 So the fact that your cancer went into remission, at the same time you took some special water, proves that homeopathy cures cancer.

You can see Colquhoun's thought process ticking over throughout the interview. "Try to be nice, put in a few mildly complimentary asides, mention the responsible use... oh good god she's just too stupid."
@wawei67 Arnica is not homeopathy but a herbal medicine! They are often confuse because they are often prescribed by the same type of doctor or practician. In homeopathy the active ingredient is no longer present - the idea is that water has a memory and having been in contact with this ingredient it remembers it and works that way! Aspirin for instance is in a way a herbal remedy as it is extracted from willow twigs.
@helpimafishcake This is ironic - two people on opposite sides of the homeopathy/mainstream medicine debate attack me, thinking I have said something against their beliefs. You misunderstood - I thought wawei67 was mistaking a herbal medicine for a homeopathic but it turns out he/she was indeed taking a homeopathic solution. In fact my comment was neither in favour nor against homeopathy but a statement as far as I understood it.
exactly what im talking about maybe i got the pain thing wrong i dont know too much about it i took it for glandular fever and as you probably know that is a long term thing it makes you feel ill and tired fatigue and be off work./school for months im sorry to here about the reason you found homeopathy i hope all is well now it works and thats the end of it !!
@iTotesMagotes because homeopathy only works with diseases and illnesses it cant do as much for pain as it would as a paracetamol i think homeopathy works i use it and it helps me also the NHS homeopathists are fround upon for prescribing it although its accepted as a medicine it isn't recommended as a treatment as a big group of people which the magority or these commenters are in dont believe it works.
250K of my taxes on homeopathy are you shitting me next the NHS will be prescribing lava lamps to cure blindness. Oh wait probably shouldn't have said that I'm giving this woman ideas.
The reason why our NHS and in turn our country, and in general our world is so ruined is because of absolute morons like that woman. Seriously, how can people be so stupid.
Stop bashin Santa Claus guys, I've seen him at the mall!
...
Hey at least it's more tangible than homepathic 'research' results that prove homeopathic medicine's potency. Oh disregard, they didn't compare it to placebo (AKA nothing) because it would make the homeopathic produts seem inefficient.
So, if I stop believing in the placebo effect, does it not work any more?
Of course, the key word there is "work". We have to formally define what "to work" means in medicine. I know allopathic doctors put in their best efforts to make this definition as rigorous as they can: e.g. "has disease D at time t, but after X years, no more symptoms"
i.e. can't claim Y "works" on disease D if you don't have D in the first place.
Lmao, if homeopathy were real one would assume that you wouldn't even need to take the pills,,, lol you should be able to get the homeopathic doses you need from the amount of water vapor in the air that you breath on a daily basis.... It's scary that a medical doctor can actually believe that there is some validity to it tho!!
I do believe the measure of effectiveness such as this can be gauged simply by infecting the proponent with some kind of relatively benign disease and following her progress as she attempts to treat it with her bullshit remedies.
"By definition, alternative medicine has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. You know what they call "alternative medicine" that's been proved to work?
The term "alternative medicine" is itself a fallacious and derisive term cooked up by "mainstream medicine" idealogues. Also, your quote actually makes no intellectual (or otherwuse) sense, which is why it is on the top comments bit I take it--pure inarticulated hate lol.
how on earth can somebody get a medical degree and believe homeopathy works? all doctors like her should be fired and taken into police custody for suspicion of cavorting with the devil (loljk he doesn't exist)
Patients want to get better. Its an outrage that this nonsense is funded on the NHS. As for the research argument, why don't they fund the research themselves given this quackery is a very lucrative business.
"The Bristol Study compared homeopathy with nothing; it's absolutely meaningless." LOL! These people are fruitcakes; if you believe in homeopathy, then you mine as well believe in Santa Claus.
Sorry, but the female doctor here should not be prescribing ANYTHING at all that doesn't have GOOD medical research to back it up. Doctors have a duty to pursue the evidence where it leads, not make shit up.
Homoeopathy is a lie used to grab money. people like her should be fucking locked up ffs, it is medical fraud. disgusting. If people want homoeopathy they should pay for it personally. it is a PLACEBO people. If you THINK it works it will. mind control, nothing more.
I think she’s aware homeopathy is pure placebo and said as much in the green room. She prescribes homeopathic “remedies” to patients with non-serious ailments so they feel like there has been an intervention. If people are begging for pills or antibiotics they don’t need then giving them a dummy treatment is, for better or worse, an easy out.
Colquhoun deflects most of his statements away from her and towards people who pedal homeopathy as a real treatment for serious problems.
I love the concept of practicing homeopathy alongside actual medicine. Then, the actual medicine can do its thing and the magic water can get all the credit.
Colquhoun is good craic haha I would say in defense of the quacks however that the drug industry make as much money from the placebo effect as do homeopaths and cost the NHS much more money - what is prescribing an antibiotic for a flu for instance other than placebo. BMJ published a review of data on Tamiflu not so long ago suggesting it did pretty much nothing. All kinds of businesses prey upon people's health anxieties, except mainstream are better at dressing it up in clinical science.
Anyone else feel really bad for David? He's clearly nervous as hell being on television, and then they go and place him beside a homeopath (aka, a nutter).
It's a shame that no one thought to help the professor dress well. She looks good, he looks crap, people seriously underestimate the effect of appearance upon impressionable people - the sort of people that fall for homeopathy.
Prescribing placebos for cancer (as many homeopaths have done) would be considered unethical but there is a wealth of research essentially proving that placebos help a great deal with many illnesses and symptoms. Even if the person knows it's a placebo. Homeopathy becomes a danger when people with life-threatening illnesses don't get proper medical help. A positive attitude can help but if you have bowel cancer and you don't get actual treatment you're basically dead.
My wife went to see one of these quacks, and she was told that she would have to give up all her meds for it to work, she would die with out her meds !
Lets pretend a tablet with nothing in it can cure sickness and charge the gullible a small fortune.
@ImMichaelTaylor I don't think they asked her to give up taking her med's but rather claimed that there empty pills would not work due to the interference, homeopathy isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as we are aware that it doesn't work !
@fleadle34 "as long as we are aware that it doesn't work !"
I agree partly. People should be told there's no evidence that water is magical, but they should also be told it does work as a placebo.
I totally agree that nobody should be told that real medicine will interfere with homeopathy. Any attempt to discourage evidence-based medicine is gross misconduct, and probably illegal depending where you are.
That would only work if they replaced their belief in magic water with an equally enfounded belief in the magical properties of placebo.
The placebo effect, AFAICT, isn't an actual physiological effect, but rather an effect on the measurements in the experiment - a bias to be filtered out - which gives the illusion of a physiological effect. It mostly affects subjective measurements reported by the patient. So placebo doesn't "work" in any real sense.
Homoeopathy does work, and scientists know it works.
It's just that they call it something else; the placebo effect.
It should be on the NHS, because it's very cheap and does make believers happier and more relaxed, and therefore boosts immune function and healing through psychosomatic effects.
At the very least they should have it to give to hypochondriacs so they don't waste the real medicines on them.
@ImMichaelTaylor I'm sooo torn about this, because I'm against intentionally letting the government, or any other body, lie to their patients in any way, but then again placebos are a valid replacement for those, like you yourself mention, who don't need the medicine...
Not an issue I am confident about saying yes or no to tbh, though I am leaning towards not giving people placebos.
@Solensherre "'m against intentionally letting the government, or any other body, lie to their patients in any way"
We wouldn't need to lie to them.
Tell them the effects are psychosomatic, and small number of homeopathic believers who even know what it means will reject that explanation. They're not swayed by evidence or the words of competent doctors, otherwise they wouldn't want homeopathy in the first place.
But if an organisation endorses this it grants some degree of credibility to this. As you see above, even doctors, though you may call them incompetent, are somewhat convinced by this.
I was thinking of a more general issue though. My father recently had a minor running injury, and was advised homeopathic medicine by his GP. He honestly didn't know any better. But in such a case, is it OK for me to let him live in ignorance or should I enlighten him?
@Solensherre " is it OK for me to let him live in ignorance or should I enlighten him?"
I don't know. Personally, when my scientifically illiterate mother mentions homoeopathy to me, I just say it helps a bit for minor things as long as you believe in it. I feel that is accurate under most circumstances.
She's never considered it for anything major, so I take that to mean she already realises that in her own way.
But the reality of the situation is that we already have homeopathy, regardless of whether we need it. Alienating people who are devout homeopathians may endanger them, because they might stop going to the real doctor if their superstitions are challenged or ridiculed.
Imagine if doctors began every appointment by saying baby jesus is fictional. Believers might flounce out and go to an exorcist instead.
@ImMichaelTaylor What the fuck are you talking about? Ok, tell me what it is that really gives homeopathy effectiveness, that they instead "just call" the placebo effect.
@KingAdonisDNA "Ok, tell me what it is that really gives homeopathy effectiveness, that they instead "just call" the placebo effect."
They just call it the placebo effect because it IS just the placebo effect. There is no evidence for other effects.
My point abut it being on the nhs is; there will be patients who believe in it, and therefore can derive psychosomatic benefit from it with minor or psychosomatic ailments.
@KingAdonisDNA I'm certainly not saying (as you could have gleaned from my other comments) that they should pretend there's anything magical about diluting something out of existence, or offer placebo for any illness where there is a physical, evidence-based treatment.
I tried neuropren pn a homepathetic remedy for nerve pain let me tell ya folks I was skeptical at first and for good reason it didn't do shit other than make my bedroom reek of dog piss and licorice. I got it at a second hand store a .5 oz bottle for $2, I later saw it at a drug store f $50. Homepathy= mental masturbation.
@NefariousVirtuoso88 But... who would we have to help us feel better? Some days I meet so many people smarter than myself... then I get to watch videos of these goofballs and I realize I'm far from the stupidest person on earth.
I think giving a patient a quick placebo along with another proper and decent treatment said seems like a good idea for those small easily treated condition (colds, aches etc).
"Diarrhoea ey? drink some water and take this [disguised sugar pill] everyday and you'll feel better in a jiffy". Treating the patient without lying to them, if the patient asked if it was a placebo the doctor would have to tell them and ascribe no false facts to it either.
I would still call that a lie. It deceptively uses a sentence structure that is often used to suggest a causal relationship and also takes advantage of the ill-defined nature of a "jiffy" - presumably the patient doesn't think the normal duration of a cold is a jiffy, which is why he went to the doctor, so it's dishonest to use it in that way.
I love the way he eyeballs her at the beginning of this interview. Just look at his hair and his slightly crazed expression. He's clearly a man of science, while she is little more than a child away with the fairy's
"At least half the surveys show positive responses". Thats like saying "At least half of people are above average height...". If only half show positive responses, then thats RANDOM
I've just had a read through the recent comments. It seems you've decided on the usual offensive knee jerk response of a person who is unable to string together a coherent argument for their case. In this I congratulate you - if other fake quackery had more supporters like you tarnishing their name in public, they would die out much quicker.
It doesn't work. It's never worked beyond placebo. No one can even approach proving it works. Grow up.
Right...so it's because people want 'supplementary' care to the medicine that the NHS is paying for? It's hilarious how obviously she's trying to avoid saying "It doesn't work."
But hey, if the NHS covers it, great! I've been clinically depressed, and the NHS pays for my antidepressants, but I think that a blowjob would really help supplement my actual medical treatment, so I'll bill the NHS. It has no scientific reason for helping, but hey, I don't claim it works: it's only supplementary.
@pianoplayeruk He is a professor in the field which observes how drugs and medicines react to the human body, hence the PERFECT person to comment on homeopathy.
Pharmacology is a discipline steeped in orthodoxy. He was hand picked because he he's a drug man and because he doesn't subscribe to anything different.
@pianoplayeruk That's the point. He's from the camp that says that homeopathy doesn't work. You don't expect a Republican/Democrat debate to end when the Republican side demands that a Republican represent the Democrat side on the grounds that a Democrat is unqualified to comment on Republican policy.
Colquhoun is commenting that from a scientific standpoint, homeopathy doesn't work. It's that straightforward. He knows what thing make medicine cure disease, and homeopathy doesn't have them.
Your persistent manner has already become very tiresome. Pharmacology and homeopathy are totally different camps and would not necessarily understand the other.
His opinion as a Pharmacologist is about as close to worthless as one can possibly get.
Now I am getting really fed up retorts so why don't you go and play elsewhere.
Any further messages from you will be deleted without being read.
I subscribe to homeopathy - you don't. We have nothing to discuss.
Homeopathy's only claim to validity is *through* pharmacology. He's assessing homeopathic methods to see if they'd work from a pharmacological standpoint. And they don't work. QED.
Oh, you'll ignore my message? Funny thing, though: that's exactly how homeopathy "works." In this case, I'm the problem, and you're "solving" me by pretending I don't exist. Except unlike malaria, ignoring me won't kill you.
And really? Persistent? I've responded twice. You caved faster than a cardboard umbrella.
@holistic1951 So why don't I get healthy from drinking my faucet water? It has contained everything by now, and is "diluted enough". I should never get sick if I just drink water every day!
@holistic1951 um... it doesn't work. It has never been proven conclusively to be better than a placebo. Also, like he said, most of the illnesses you would prescribe homeopathy for are things that you get better from anyway.

@wawei67 Arnica is not homeopathy but a herbal medicine! They are often confuse because they are often prescribed by the same type of doctor or practician. In homeopathy the active ingredient is no longer present - the idea is that water has a memory and having been in contact with this ingredient it remembers it and works that way! Aspirin for instance is in a way a herbal remedy as it is extracted from willow twigs.

Of course, the key word there is "work". We have to formally define what "to work" means in medicine. I know allopathic doctors put in their best efforts to make this definition as rigorous as they can: e.g. "has disease D at time t, but after X years, no more symptoms"
i.e. can't claim Y "works" on disease D if you don't have D in the first place.

I think she’s aware homeopathy is pure placebo and said as much in the green room. She prescribes homeopathic “remedies” to patients with non-serious ailments so they feel like there has been an intervention. If people are begging for pills or antibiotics they don’t need then giving them a dummy treatment is, for better or worse, an easy out.
Colquhoun deflects most of his statements away from her and towards people who pedal homeopathy as a real treatment for serious problems.

TheSobek 5 months ago
Prescribing placebos for cancer (as many homeopaths have done) would be considered unethical but there is a wealth of research essentially proving that placebos help a great deal with many illnesses and symptoms. Even if the person knows it's a placebo. Homeopathy becomes a danger when people with life-threatening illnesses don't get proper medical help. A positive attitude can help but if you have bowel cancer and you don't get actual treatment you're basically dead.

@fleadle34 "as long as we are aware that it doesn't work !"
I agree partly. People should be told there's no evidence that water is magical, but they should also be told it does work as a placebo.
I totally agree that nobody should be told that real medicine will interfere with homeopathy. Any attempt to discourage evidence-based medicine is gross misconduct, and probably illegal depending where you are.
ImMichaelTaylor 5 months ago
@ImMichaelTaylor
That would only work if they replaced their belief in magic water with an equally enfounded belief in the magical properties of placebo.
The placebo effect, AFAICT, isn't an actual physiological effect, but rather an effect on the measurements in the experiment - a bias to be filtered out - which gives the illusion of a physiological effect. It mostly affects subjective measurements reported by the patient. So placebo doesn't "work" in any real sense.

Homoeopathy does work, and scientists know it works.
It's just that they call it something else; the placebo effect.
It should be on the NHS, because it's very cheap and does make believers happier and more relaxed, and therefore boosts immune function and healing through psychosomatic effects.
At the very least they should have it to give to hypochondriacs so they don't waste the real medicines on them.

@ImMichaelTaylor I'm sooo torn about this, because I'm against intentionally letting the government, or any other body, lie to their patients in any way, but then again placebos are a valid replacement for those, like you yourself mention, who don't need the medicine...

@Solensherre "'m against intentionally letting the government, or any other body, lie to their patients in any way"
We wouldn't need to lie to them.
Tell them the effects are psychosomatic, and small number of homeopathic believers who even know what it means will reject that explanation. They're not swayed by evidence or the words of competent doctors, otherwise they wouldn't want homeopathy in the first place.
ImMichaelTaylor 5 months ago
@ImMichaelTaylor Hehe, quite so.
But if an organisation endorses this it grants some degree of credibility to this. As you see above, even doctors, though you may call them incompetent, are somewhat convinced by this.
I was thinking of a more general issue though. My father recently had a minor running injury, and was advised homeopathic medicine by his GP. He honestly didn't know any better. But in such a case, is it OK for me to let him live in ignorance or should I enlighten him?
Solensherre 5 months ago
@Solensherre " is it OK for me to let him live in ignorance or should I enlighten him?"
I don't know. Personally, when my scientifically illiterate mother mentions homoeopathy to me, I just say it helps a bit for minor things as long as you believe in it. I feel that is accurate under most circumstances.
She's never considered it for anything major, so I take that to mean she already realises that in her own way.

But the reality of the situation is that we already have homeopathy, regardless of whether we need it. Alienating people who are devout homeopathians may endanger them, because they might stop going to the real doctor if their superstitions are challenged or ridiculed.

They just call it the placebo effect because it IS just the placebo effect. There is no evidence for other effects.

I think giving a patient a quick placebo along with another proper and decent treatment said seems like a good idea for those small easily treated condition (colds, aches etc).
"Diarrhoea ey? drink some water and take this [disguised sugar pill] everyday and you'll feel better in a jiffy". Treating the patient without lying to them, if the patient asked if it was a placebo the doctor would have to tell them and ascribe no false facts to it either.

I would still call that a lie. It deceptively uses a sentence structure that is often used to suggest a causal relationship and also takes advantage of the ill-defined nature of a "jiffy" - presumably the patient doesn't think the normal duration of a cold is a jiffy, which is why he went to the doctor, so it's dishonest to use it in that way.
