Fuck her for abusing dr / patient confidentiality by saying things her medical records WOULD disprove but they can't release. Those laws should be void the moment someone uses their records to spread lies that threaten other people in desperate situations especially when the dr fucking saved her life.
Despite how often it is used, this is the first time I have ever seen the chemical structure of vancomycin! wouldn't it be much simpler to just give all our infected patients empiric therapy of water? What if the microbes developed resistance to it?
you perfectly described the way it feels to see stupidity resistant to argument and evidence!! Including symptoms like mumbling, hitting tables, ranting and sometimes even crying a little. As a medical student homeopathy hurts twice... (or more)
Myles (MP) claims2 know more about the Hoefkens case than she& her doctors do! The chemo docs say they had done all they could do, so Gemma left their care & came back cured after being treated w/homeopathy. But MP twists this around2mean it was the chemo that worked & that she thought the C made her hair fall out. He's doing exatly what he wants to believe she's doing! There r 1000's of cases in which hpathy is cred'd w/curing people of cancer.
@powerm1985 Yes, watched it twice & watching the horrible thing a 3rd time.
You say you wouln't get any adivce from Gemma because she reported she a bad reaction from chemotherapy? & that's your 1st point in to discredit her? I've been posting comments here & you've been missing the point on those, too, making assumptions you want to believe. Something's said & you're twisting it to mean what you want it to.
Are you familiar with the Leslie Dan School of Pharmacy at the Univesity of Toronto?
@bandershot I am sorry u feel my phd in biochemistry is inferior to a degree in homeopathy. A degree like the one this woman has yet as pointed out in the vid does not know the basics of the subject. The fact is homeopathy does not work and is not physically dangerous. The danger comes from when people use it instead of real medicine instructed by people like yourself.
@powerm1985 What? You have a PhD in biochemistry? WTF? You're kidding me! This is Heaven sent! And I'm just a dumb homeopath, right? So maybe this is not such as big deal, ut let me ask you a question anyway: Do you think it would be possible for you and I to have a real conversation about this? One that could be recorded and played back to the public? SOmething we ould put on file, somehting my great grandkids can watch. How about it, Dr. Myles?
What a jerk! This is really horrible, defamatory of a woman bc she survived cancer? Wow! You're trying to characterize her because you like your own conclusions of what cured her better than your own? If she'd died with or w/o hpathic treatment you'd be cheering? Conventional treatment had failed & the doctors had given up!
Do you understand what you've opened the door to in your own life?
I suggest you take this video down immediately before you do yourself& others any more harm.
So how do you explain it still being on the market? I mean if its everything you say it is, then why haven't you or somebody been sued for fraud? That's what you're saying, isn't it? That these substances marketed as medicine are inert and have no biological effects, right? So, amidst all your explanations for what it is, why hasn't it been sued an/or prosecuted in a court of law for fraud, and shut down for good? Or do you not have a doctrine of innocent until PROVEN guilty in court?
@Bandershot If the best argument you have for homeopathy working is that its sold its a very week one. I walked past a shop the other day with a sign saying that I could buy a crystal for £10 that will flow energy towards me. I have 2 more vids on the subject if you are interested.
@powerm1985 Then you can't answer the question, can you? I'm just asking for an honest response to why is use contrary to your conclusions? Have you ever really tried usig classical homeoapthic radiant materials as directed for a real condition?
How many deaths can you atttribute to the use of hpathics, as compared to the 300,000 a year who die from PROPERLY prescribed and admin'd conventional drugs?
@powerm1985 Come on Myles, you haven't proved anything legally. If you're a real scientist, you'd call for the question. But you're not a scientist. You're a comedian making a silly defamatory video about a cancer survivor who conventional medicine FAILED TO CURE.
The question here should be whether these substances are inert or not. You as a "scientist" would be interested in what other REAL scientists have to say about it. You'd want to see the invitro biochemical reports. But you don't
@powerm1985 The best argument I have for you is the one that uses science, the process you implicitly claim has more importance than direct observation, personal experience& popular support.
All I've seen from you so far is play "let's make disbelieve," no better than the claims you think you're debunking. All I've seen from you is "pseudoscience." I say "biochemicals" & you say you saw a sign advertising crystals? If you're a real scientist, you'd talk science& ask relevant questions. RSVP!
@powerm1985 I just liked how he asked why homeopathy hasn't been sued for fraud. Or prosecuted in a court of law. That's like asking "if murder is so bad, why hasn't anyone put it in jail?". I mean was he expecting a bottle of sugar pills be put on the dock? I think someone's brain is a bit diluted.
I can't believe that there is a college for this garbage. Good job reflecting the light of how foolish homeopathy is, I had to look this up on wikipedia and read the first paragraph to know what this was at first because this isn't exactly something big in Australia.
If you're going to buy her a beer mate, buy her a drop of beer diluted in a load of glasses of water... just to make sure she doesn't become an alcoholic... that's how it works right?
I can personally attest to hoemopathy's effectiveness with the following true story. I had a headache, so I dissolved a homeopathic preparation in a glass of water and used it to wash down a couple of paracetamol. Ten minutes later, my headache had gone. Take that, science!
French onion sobers me up, which I consider an ailment. So, what I suggest that we do is take a drop of french onion soup, dilute it until it is 200 C, and then host a party.
If I saw Emma Hoefkens in a bar I'd ask her if she was serious. When she says ''yes'' I'd ask her to look me in the eye and say that..............Oh, wait a minute. Doh!
If I'd read one book on biochistry and started posting rather nasty videos attempting to debunk biochemistry, I'm sure you would feel justified in criticising me. As for the homoeopathic treatment of cancer, study the works of Dr AH Grimmer and look at the career of Dr AU Ramakrishnan, physician to the president of India. I myself was terminally ill and homoeopathy was central to my recovery. You should get out more because anyone who devotes his energies to unpleasant antics like you do should.
@somberlight The thing that you rather sad so-called skeptics ignore is that homoeopathy has a 200 year long list of 'anecdotal' cases and that amounts to many millions of patients cured thanks to homoeopathy- a massive body of evidence. Your predictably glib comments in no way detract from that fact, nor from the fact that homoeopathy grows year on year with little more than those anecdotal reports. People know that people tend to get better when they are treated homoeopathically
@oldsyphilitic, then where is the vast library of doubleblind studies to support the general idea of homeopathy ? don't get me wrong, people are completely free to do whatever they wish. if this shit brings them comfort, so be it. its all good. but the thing with homeopathy is that it is being marketed by the end all cure all medicine against everything, the sad thing is that some people actually fall for it, and ignore proper medicine. google name Gloria Thomas Sam
@oldsyphilitic You like anecdotes? My good friend's mother is a homeopath, her husband had a heart problem associated with high blood pressure and an infection he had had and had been taking both homeopathic medicine and normal medicine for it for 3 years. This medicine effectively stopped him from having heart attacks. It was highly successful. His wife then asked him to stop taking the doctor-prescribed medicine and only take the homeopathic stuff. He died of a heart attack 4 months later.
@oldsyphilitic You say homeopathic (HPM) medicine was central to your recovery, suggesting there was at least one other thing involved. Also, there have been NO double-blind studies which have tested the effectiveness of HPM. This is a key requirement of all usual medicines. If a doctor suggested that you take a completely untested medicine, would you take it?)
Anyone with a basic understanding of science sees how dangerous HPM is in that people don't take medicine that will help
@oldsyphilitic Appeals to authority, Ad hominems, ipse-dixitism, Style over substance fallacy. You should look into these because your arguments contain all of them. If you want to be taken seriously and argue with people that know what they are talking about, it is best to avoid them, and what remains of your argument, if anything, might be worth debating.
I really enjoy all the comment from people who have never tried alternative medicine. What's with all the hate? There are so many alternatives out there ( Reiki, Qi Gong , Accupuncture , homeopathy,
Etc etc) many people are getting cured from these health practices. You are the same people that back in history would have supported the "scientific doctors" of the time and their blood letting. What we don't understand now.. We may in the future. But instead of understanding or studying
@fiannafahl. what is there to understand? Homeopath made me drink water, reiki was fun because i got to nap for a bit, and thanks to my rather interesting sense of pain, "acupuncturist" just poked me a bit with pointy things. the last guy did have a good view on my actual health, so theres that at least. but for everything else, no actual ills was removed in any way or form, though the last guy had some proper food recipes. his recipes are awesome, and actually healthy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Science has a long history of debunking what it doesn't understand. I'm sure you can think of many examples yourself. Being a biochemist is no qualification whatsoever for understanding homoeopathy.
Why the use of lots of block capitals with lots of question marks? It suggests an arrogant belief in your own ideology.
I suggest you have a good deal to learn about humility.
@oldsyphilitic I would love to know what qualification I require to be able to talk about homeopathy?Also you cant just say "Science has a long history of debunking what it doesn't understand" without giving examples and I want examples in your next post.
Do you see scientists like myself trying to debunk gravity, yawning, pubic hair etc because we do not understand them?..........no
and again why do you think I need to get out more?
Any who its getting late and I am off to bed so ttyl
@powerm1985 You say "I would love to know what qualification I require to be able to talk about homeopathy" To talk intelligently about it, you'd have a degree in homeopathy from some place like the American Medical College of Homeopathy in Phoenix, where they teach conventional licensed MDs how to use homeopathics. Who should we listen to? Comedians& magicians who are trying to get a laugh out of this w/$1M & their pride to lose, OR . . licensed, experienced MDs clincially trained in its use?
@oldsyphilitic No Science has a long history of history of Debunking bull shit. I suggest that you should learn to be a little more skeptical, then you might progress beyond your stupidity,
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Do I detect a certain self righteousness? You start off trying to ridicule a person who recovered from cancer by a form of therapy that you patently fail to understand and when somebody answers your rather mealy mouthed cynicism you resort to your trump card. As for the efficiency of steam look at the work of LD Porta.
My experience of the modern 'scientific' view is that it tends to debunk what it doesn't understand and you strike me as a prime example of that view.
@oldsyphilitic "tends to debunk what it doesn't understand".......Really!!!! You honestly believe that?, REALLY??? As for not understanding homeopathy I am a biochemist who specializes in organic synthesis so I know more than the average chap when it comes to interactions and dilutions. Why do you think I need to get out more? Also loving the name oldsyphilitic.
@oldsyphilitic Attempt ?!?!?!? She may be nice but this woman promotes the use of homeopathic medicine for things like Chlamydia, Cancer, Malaria etc. This kind of misinformation can lead to people getting hurt so I sleep well knowing that this vid is on youtube. Also comments like "Steam can be made far more efficient than diesel" shows me what kind of character you are (snaps fingers)
@powerm1985 I agree, homeopathy is ridiculously damaging and should be illegal under Trade Descriptions Act and Sale of Goods Act. It's like when the pope ordered people of Africa to not use condoms. Physically and intellectually devastating.
@oldsyphilitic Your comments really show you are an ignorant condesending close-minded person, you know that?
Sorry you subscribe to a false belief, but Homeopathy is fraudelent, it doesn't work, it is water and those who practice it are either delusional or evil, or both, as they are recommending a non-functional cure to sick people, which has cost the life of several people, horrible torture-like deaths with agnoizing pain to the subject they have convinced that homeopathy works
@oldsyphilitic I must ask, why do you feel that her being nice has any bearing on the validity of her stance?
I mean if a nice fellow advised me that sticking a butchers knife up my arsehole was an effective treatment for insomnia, that wouldnt make his view any less false.
Moreover, why is she "evidently nicer". She doesnt appear to be nice, and at one point she says that the NHS's budget would be better spent on homeopathic remedies. An act which would kill millions. That is not nice.
@oldsyphilitic So your logic is that because someone appears to be a nice person, their arguments/beliefs should be automatically immune to criticism.
It is horrendous the NHS is funding Homeopathic medicine. £4000000 being spent on sugar pills is ridiculous. It does not work. IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Oh and by the way more heroin for a heroin addict does the trick!!
My favourite is: dog shit (!!) against migraine and unemployment (!!) In order to get out if the dog's contribution must be fresh or could be retrieved from the street look it up in the 2004 "Handbuch der homöopathischen materia magica", W. Boericke publishing, Stuttgart
In central Europe homeopathy makes 40% of a pharmacist's sales volume. If I were one, I would have to sell it although I know perfectly well that it is pure humbug. This is why we won't get rid off this shit.
01:36, not necessarily. with good genepool (read: strong hair), you might survive the ordeal with minimum hairloss, but the hairquality would turn more dry instead. source: me, i know two cancerpatients. one's an old friend and ones in the family. both still with full set of hair. but nevermind me, rest was awesome.
Considering all the impurities in the air and in water, if water DOES have memory, wouldn't it be safe to say that water will literally heal all? I'm sure at some point an atom of Hg has touched water. Heck, I'm sure an atom or two of radioactive uranium has touched water (radioactive poisoning anyone?). I can't think of any substance that hasn't touched water. Drinking tap water is cheap homeopathy? AND it's extra dilute to boot meaning it's perpetually at extra strength for potency.
Your intro always makes me LOL! ;D btw, I wanted to ask you what is that video-projection thingy that is always looping in your videos? What is it of?
She doesn't understand that anecdotes are not sufficient evidence. She should read "How We Know What Isn't So" by Thomas Gilovich. It is a whole book about all the ways you are stupid and how to prevent the stupid from hurting you.
The good news is that if you do meet her in a bar you only need to buy her a drop of beer! Mix it with a few pints of water and she can get hammered the homeopathic way!
Homeopathic beer would need something that cured drunkenness to work as an intoxicant. Law of Similars, if you used your recipe, it'd be a really good sobering up agent.
"The practicing college of homeopathicness" rofl Priceless! My brother in law told me on the weekend he thought Prince Charles was "forward thinking" because he believed in homeopathicness. Forward? Doesn't he mean backward? When I said there's no evidence it works - it's just water he said "whatever works for you." "But it doesn't work, it's placebo" I answered. "It works for some people." BURNS!!!! It's like I have Hoefkins in my family to BURN me permanently.
I don't know how you haven't got thousands of subscribers! I love it. Nice to hear a brit attack bad science, too - we just have some sayings the Americans don't. My personal favourite from this video: "So in conclusion, homeopathy is a bag of wank" I love it. Subscribed!
new research conducted at the respected Indian Institutes of Technology has confirmed the presence of “nanoparticles” of the starting materials even at extremely high dilutions of homeopathic medicines. Researchers have demonstrated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and chemical analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the presence of physical entities in these extreme dilutions.

I should buy one of each homeopathic pill, throw them in the ocean, and cure ALL of the human populations problems- at no cost to them beyond drinking a tiny amount of water.
"Made up" is still too nice a description of the origin of homeopathy. It was pulled out of somebody's ass.
And what the heck is that braindead girl looking at? Is it so difficult to look at the camera? For some reason, I find it difficult to believe that she not still sufferening from a brain tumor.
I'm torn on the NHS issue. On the one hand, I'm all for idiots removing themselves from the genes, while actually saving money (sugar pills are cheaper than most actual pills).
On the other hand, I feel a little guilty for not protection idiots from themselves, and for giving money to frauds.
Homeopathy: It never works, but it might help anyway.
of course, the same goes for every single thing. If standing on your head makes your xenofobia go away, by all means do it, but it still doesn't WORK.
Cheaper isn't always better.
Not having any food is cheaper than having some food.
Starving is better than eating, from her logic?

@oldsyphilitic I would love to know what qualification I require to be able to talk about homeopathy?Also you cant just say "Science has a long history of debunking what it doesn't understand" without giving examples and I want examples in your next post.
Do you see scientists like myself trying to debunk gravity, yawning, pubic hair etc because we do not understand them?..........no
and again why do you think I need to get out more?
Any who its getting late and I am off to bed so ttyl

@powerm1985 You say "I would love to know what qualification I require to be able to talk about homeopathy" To talk intelligently about it, you'd have a degree in homeopathy from some place like the American Medical College of Homeopathy in Phoenix, where they teach conventional licensed MDs how to use homeopathics. Who should we listen to? Comedians& magicians who are trying to get a laugh out of this w/$1M & their pride to lose, OR . . licensed, experienced MDs clincially trained in its use?

@oldsyphilitic No Science has a long history of history of Debunking bull shit. I suggest that you should learn to be a little more skeptical, then you might progress beyond your stupidity,

Do I detect a certain self righteousness? You start off trying to ridicule a person who recovered from cancer by a form of therapy that you patently fail to understand and when somebody answers your rather mealy mouthed cynicism you resort to your trump card. As for the efficiency of steam look at the work of LD Porta.
My experience of the modern 'scientific' view is that it tends to debunk what it doesn't understand and you strike me as a prime example of that view.
You should get out more!

@oldsyphilitic "tends to debunk what it doesn't understand".......Really!!!! You honestly believe that?, REALLY??? As for not understanding homeopathy I am a biochemist who specializes in organic synthesis so I know more than the average chap when it comes to interactions and dilutions. Why do you think I need to get out more? Also loving the name oldsyphilitic.

Well Miles, your rather nasty attempt at debunking somebody who is evidently rather nicer you are reminds me of a quote from Goethe:
"Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they think laughable."

@oldsyphilitic Attempt ?!?!?!? She may be nice but this woman promotes the use of homeopathic medicine for things like Chlamydia, Cancer, Malaria etc. This kind of misinformation can lead to people getting hurt so I sleep well knowing that this vid is on youtube. Also comments like "Steam can be made far more efficient than diesel" shows me what kind of character you are (snaps fingers)

@powerm1985 I agree, homeopathy is ridiculously damaging and should be illegal under Trade Descriptions Act and Sale of Goods Act. It's like when the pope ordered people of Africa to not use condoms. Physically and intellectually devastating.

@oldsyphilitic Your comments really show you are an ignorant condesending close-minded person, you know that?
Sorry you subscribe to a false belief, but Homeopathy is fraudelent, it doesn't work, it is water and those who practice it are either delusional or evil, or both, as they are recommending a non-functional cure to sick people, which has cost the life of several people, horrible torture-like deaths with agnoizing pain to the subject they have convinced that homeopathy works

@oldsyphilitic I must ask, why do you feel that her being nice has any bearing on the validity of her stance?
I mean if a nice fellow advised me that sticking a butchers knife up my arsehole was an effective treatment for insomnia, that wouldnt make his view any less false.
Moreover, why is she "evidently nicer". She doesnt appear to be nice, and at one point she says that the NHS's budget would be better spent on homeopathic remedies. An act which would kill millions. That is not nice.

@oldsyphilitic So your logic is that because someone appears to be a nice person, their arguments/beliefs should be automatically immune to criticism.

In central Europe homeopathy makes 40% of a pharmacist's sales volume. If I were one, I would have to sell it although I know perfectly well that it is pure humbug. This is why we won't get rid off this shit.

01:36, not necessarily. with good genepool (read: strong hair), you might survive the ordeal with minimum hairloss, but the hairquality would turn more dry instead. source: me, i know two cancerpatients. one's an old friend and ones in the family. both still with full set of hair. but nevermind me, rest was awesome.

Considering all the impurities in the air and in water, if water DOES have memory, wouldn't it be safe to say that water will literally heal all? I'm sure at some point an atom of Hg has touched water. Heck, I'm sure an atom or two of radioactive uranium has touched water (radioactive poisoning anyone?). I can't think of any substance that hasn't touched water. Drinking tap water is cheap homeopathy? AND it's extra dilute to boot meaning it's perpetually at extra strength for potency.

She doesn't understand that anecdotes are not sufficient evidence. She should read "How We Know What Isn't So" by Thomas Gilovich. It is a whole book about all the ways you are stupid and how to prevent the stupid from hurting you.

The good news is that if you do meet her in a bar you only need to buy her a drop of beer! Mix it with a few pints of water and she can get hammered the homeopathic way!

Homeopathic beer would need something that cured drunkenness to work as an intoxicant. Law of Similars, if you used your recipe, it'd be a really good sobering up agent.

"The practicing college of homeopathicness" rofl Priceless! My brother in law told me on the weekend he thought Prince Charles was "forward thinking" because he believed in homeopathicness. Forward? Doesn't he mean backward? When I said there's no evidence it works - it's just water he said "whatever works for you." "But it doesn't work, it's placebo" I answered. "It works for some people." BURNS!!!! It's like I have Hoefkins in my family to BURN me permanently.

new research conducted at the respected Indian Institutes of Technology has confirmed the presence of “nanoparticles” of the starting materials even at extremely high dilutions of homeopathic medicines. Researchers have demonstrated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), electron diffraction and chemical analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), the presence of physical entities in these extreme dilutions.

I should buy one of each homeopathic pill, throw them in the ocean, and cure ALL of the human populations problems- at no cost to them beyond drinking a tiny amount of water.

"Made up" is still too nice a description of the origin of homeopathy. It was pulled out of somebody's ass.
And what the heck is that braindead girl looking at? Is it so difficult to look at the camera? For some reason, I find it difficult to believe that she not still sufferening from a brain tumor.

I'm torn on the NHS issue. On the one hand, I'm all for idiots removing themselves from the genes, while actually saving money (sugar pills are cheaper than most actual pills).
On the other hand, I feel a little guilty for not protection idiots from themselves, and for giving money to frauds.

Homeopathy: It never works, but it might help anyway.
of course, the same goes for every single thing. If standing on your head makes your xenofobia go away, by all means do it, but it still doesn't WORK.
