quantum healing does work though, by activating your body's innate self-healing capabilities. you just have to think positively, take some time for yourself and permit unnecessary stressors to leave your system. inner disharmonies in our cosmic vibrations are what make us sick. spend more time in nature to reestablish your natural balance. let the quanta revitalize your body and soul. a special quantum channeling device isn't necessary, but can greatly speed up the process
@ebrobaru it's the smallesst bits that all matter is made from and it's waves and vibrations, not particles. they are influenced by observing them, but you can also directly and willingly influence them with your conscious mind. it means the way we think about the world has an actual influence on the physical world. our brains are quantum manipulation devices. the double slit experiment offers some good evidence for this
@Diosukekun You are right at first, but then you just are misinterpreting the facts. That you can directly influence them is long long way to being proven, just an interesting theory. The double slit experiment is a good example of how particles behave in the quantum world. Not that they can be manipulated by our thoughts
@ebrobaru well, they are influenced by observing them and through consciousness we can specifically direct our attention towards some things and away from others, therefore directly influencing reality. do you know of the placebo effect? i think it can be explained that way. you think positively about things, and you positively influence reality that way. it can even cure cancer. you think negatively and you become depressed and sick
@Diosukekun I agree completely with the placebo effect and that your attitude towards things indeed help to set the mood. Now, to say that we can actually influence particles individually to do this ot that, that´s another story
@ebrobaru so to change your "mood" you don't have to influence particles? have you never changed the "mood" of somebody else by how you think of them? research shows that positive expectations by others have an immensly positive effect on how well people perform. why shouldn't that include sick people's healing capabilities? all the evidence points towards that. why not try to get as much out of this effect as possible by making a science of it? that science is quantum healing
@Diosukekun Quantum healing is just an invention of some charlatans that try to give their "powers" a scientific edge. No, you can´t change their mood just by thinking of them. That´s just mumbo jumbo. What evidence¿
Wow, it is amazing the slander you get away with. You just look for anything that may be out of your rhelm of possibility to discredit and label people to fit into your box of understanding.

@SenorBullshit Take the bonds then. What's the problem? Moreover, today is April 28, 2011, therefore "the million dollar prize will cease on March 6, 2010" is wrong, since it is still in effect today. You must have missed the announcement from July 2009. But at least you live up to your name, SenorBullshit.
@greyeyed123 I just checked the prize account. Yes, it is bonds, but they were worth 1,023,000 in Feb. 2010. If any paranormal claims are true, why doesn't someone come forward and take the money? Silvia Browne takes $700 dollars for a 20 minute reading, so we know such people are not adverse to money, and taking money for their "services" apparently doesn't block the psychic signals from beyond the grave... wooooooo! What a bunch of phony's. Thank gravy Randi keeps them honest.
@GumbaMasta There is a skeptics conference in Las Vegas periodically. Actually, I did go to the website, and it looks WAAAY cool! Speakers include Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Bill Nye, Penn and Teller, Laurence Krauss, PZ Myers, Michael Shermer, too many to list. If "SenorBullshit" thinks there is something wrong with the JREF, why doesn't he take the challenge and claim the million dollar prize to give to his own religious cause? At least skepticism and rationality works.
Obviously, Utah has no monopoly on stupidity. Theta Healing's greatest number of adherents is in California, and it is wildly popular in Japan, Australia, Italy and England.
James Randi Shares my heroes , and my world outlook. I'm so glad he has gone to all this effort to keep a visual/audio record of his thoughts and feelings - and make them openly viewable by the masses. Even if you disagree with what he has to say, you have to respect the man.
enorBullshit dont join then thats your choice he s a brillant man he s not sour but he is ungodly since their is no god you arent a skeptic you are a delusional believer bullshit is a good name for you
@chronius9 Agreed. But research has shown that higher priced "drugs", colored pills and others that give the feeling that the "drug" is legitimate work better as placebos. It is all about creating a false belief in the user. I cant believe i am talking in favor of homeopathy. Anyway, just something that came to my mind..
Mr. Randi has my utmost respect, he has done and continues to expand peoples minds, and expose the "woo woo's" for what they really are, not to mention make us question the things that we have been taught... or rather people tried to teach us in our youth, and even now with people trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I tip my hat to you sir.
All I want is some major league skeptic to spend the night alone locked away in one of the most celebrated haunted places. Like the Goldfield Hotel or the Ram Inn, why has not a single skeptic spent a single night there alone and documented it on film? I appeal to the skeptics, Lock yourself away at the Goldfield Hotel alone, record your experience on film. I have never known any being more nazi than the skeptic. Let me guess, your right and the world is wrong. Prove it, one night, Goldfield.
@bryanjones007 buddy, a man the likes of james randi and myself does not say these entities or what have you do not exist, merely that there is no reason to assume their existence as a means to explain that which we do not understand. naturally the quickest resource to jump to when explaining something not understanded is that an entity similar to us (because ghosts and spirits and whatnot are very human concepts) but with different abilities is causing the changes. we should not assume.
thats what quacks do with their rackets... just include technobabble such as quantum mechanics or advance science would lead alot of suckers into believing it is actually scientifically proven
I hate to burst James Randis bubble, but it's not just Utah, now that i'm a drop out and i've started learning things like politics, science, and history on the internet, and in public libraries, i've come to realise that even here in Washington State, we have schools full of idiots that will believe ANYTHING you tell them, without question. I may be a "drop-out loser with no future", but atleast i know the truths in this world. And i'd pick that over sucess any day.
@ebrobaru Always out for an argument eh? It was just a comment in reply to him being fantastic. Just wanted to add some of his other traits while sadrequiem was at it. Having said that, maybe he thinks he has good intentions, I'd be open to that, but I haven't seen zealotry leading to much good, destruction, yes.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have a thought.
I believe I have heard James Randi state that homeopathic medicine, like the sleeping pills he takes, become more potent when diluted. I believe when he takes those pills to prove his point, he takes them straight or with a glass of water. While I realize the point is absurd, when logically approached, perhaps a better experiment would be to dilute the medicine to it's maximum strength (haha, the irony).
Cut and paste, surgeries on various broken limbs etc have long been practised in INDIA since ages. Have you heard of 'Charaka Samhitha'? Now they are in Allopathy domain. Cures with medicines is mostly a fallacy in Allopathy and a reality(with good docs) in Homoeo. Anaesthecia, Surgery, Accident management belong to ALLPATHY, no doubt.
@phanisundarssimages Excellent comment!. Did you get any reply from any of those stupid fuckers that call themselves "skeptics"?(when they are just idiots payed by FDA or any other kind of organization).
To appreciate Homoeopathy you need to first, have a clean mind which accepts happenings around you with an open, scientific mind. Secondly a mind and heart that strive to help the needy and diseased. Thirdly, you should not stoop to ulterior materialistic motives. Then you will have real 'darshan' (eye opening). Well, who am I? A happy parent with 2 children, 13 and 7 yr olds, who never used Allopathy in their life. No body is paying me to write this for your enlightenment. THAT 'S Hpathy
@phanisundarssimages Sorry, but that´s nonsense. If you take a medicine it will work no matter if you believe or not. I´d like to see you trying to use homeopathy when one of your kids breaks his leg.
Homeopathy has repeatedly been shown to work on animals and infants, who don't know what they are taking. How can this be due to the placebo effect.
Homeopathic solutions have been shown to significantly enhance the growth rates of plants, who CERTAINLY don't know what they are getting. Placebo effect?
There was even a recent study that looked at the effects of Homeopathy Ruta 6 on human glioma cells IN VITRO. Tell me, are cancer cells in a petri dish susceptible to the placebo effect?
@Starbat88 Yes, that´s what has been claimed, by homeopaths of course. I have not yet seen a study peer reviewed that shows that, of course besides the homeopath sites and publications.
The Ruta 6 study is indeed very interesting. However, a small detail was left out, not by the researchers, but by homeopathy supporters. The homeopathic solution was mixed with other components, not-homeopathic components. So, you can see while we fail to jump in joy for that study
Yes, other compounds were tested. Ruta 6 by itself did not do as much to kill the cancer cells as the peroxide. What it DID do is keep the normal cells alive in the presence of the cancer-killing peroxide.
So, this study shows that homeopathy is a useful addition to cancer therapy to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
No educated homeopath would flatly claim that "homeopathy cures cancer". That is just a strawman argument.
@ebrobaru That has nothing to do with the actual science.
There is a range of competence among homeopaths. That's because their profession is unregulated in so many jurisdictions. There is a lot of disinformation floating around about Homeopathy. MOST of that disinformation however, comes from "skeptics" like loudmouth Randi here.
In France, 40% of people use Homeopathy. It isn't even "alternative" medicine over there.
Incidently, their healthcare system ranks #1 in the world.
@Starbat88 Yeah and in the 18th century a 100% of the population (wealthy of course), had slaves. That didn´t make it ok. Homeopathy was given a pass in Europe not because it was ever tested to produce positive results, but to avoid long and costly litigation in the health departments of each country. I´m not familiar with France having the #1 rank healthcare system. It may very well be the case. The question would be, how much of homeopathy is included in that?
British Medical Journal surveys discover 42% of all UK GP’s refer to a homeopath. 80% of recent medical school graduates in the UK are interested in training in Homeopathy and Acupuncture. UK visits to a homeopathic physician have steadily increased by as much as 39% per year since the 1980’s.
A massive 70% of French GP’s utilise Homeopathic medicines themselves as a corresponding percentage of the population incorporate homeopathy into their health care to some degree. All Pharmacy schools in France teach Homeopathy as do six Medical Colleges and four Veterinary Colleges. Homeopathic Medicines are consequently sold in over 20 000 Pharmacies across France. The leading cold and flu medicine sold in France is still the Homeopathic preparation ‘Oscillococcinum’.
@Starbat88 Hey, I am not discounting the business side of homeopathy. As I told you before, homeopathy is and has been ever present especially in Europe, not because it passed any tests, but to avoid having a confrontation with that side when laws were passed in the early part of last century. I can see the thrive of business, after all, homeopathic remedies are never subject to any tests that could take them out of circulation.
There's not nearly as much profit potential as with Pharmaceuticals. Why don't you go research some of the corruption that THEY'RE up to?
Don't you think that, given that highly educated and experienced medical doctors in Europe have, for DECADES, recognized the effectiveness of Homeopathy, that that is not worthy of consideration?
Don't think that if they're experience was that it was nothing more than placebo, somebody would have stopped it by now? Are you some kind of conspiracy theorist?
@Starbat88 Oh I have never claimed that Pharmaceuticals is not a big business also. Sure, there should be a lot of corruption there. I have never denied that. The leading cold medicine in what regard? sales? or effectiveness? Anyway, don´t you find it interesting that with so many doctors around that practice homeopathy, there are no serious successful studies ever published by non-homeopathic sources? Talk about a conspiracy theory..
@Starbat88 Thanks for the links. It´s interesting to note that most of the researchers that performed the tests participate in some kind of homeopathic facility. One study was conducted by the London School of Homeopathy. Here´s an extract of one of them.- One of the studies measured people´s satisfaction with homeopathy against conventional medicine, not if it worked or not. Another one states that proofs are inconclusive. Another that homeopathy is not less effective than medicine and so on
@ebrobaru Any good scientist is intellectually honest and unbiased in describing their findings.
Just because the author(s) have made a point to acknowledge the limitations of a given study does NOT completely invalidate the entire study.
Typical of pseudoskeptics to immediately jump on any perceived weakness and blow it completely out of proportion, in order to affirm the conclusion that they've already decided is correct.
@Starbat88 A good scientist uses the scientific method and don´t just assume that by some miracle procedure, water with nothing else can do anything.
I am not saying that the studies are invalid, I am just saying that, in any case, the y are inconclusive. The same studies say so. But is is typical of hard core believers to claim a study such as these to be solid proof, when they are clearly not. I am not scientific? Ok, mr. scientific, tell me exactly how does water with ...
Even saying that something is "inconclusive" is not the same as saying that there is "no evidence". It simply means there is not ENOUGH evidence to qualify as "proof". I never claimed these studies "proved" anything. My intention was to point out how incorrect you are to claim that there is "no evidence".
Finally, just because we don't know "how" doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Your reasoning seems to be, Homeopathy "can't" work, therefore it "doesn't" work. Very scientific. Not. -_-;
@Starbat88 I asked you for studies that proved that homeopathy works. You pointed to me to interesting, but inconclusive studies. Hence we are back at square one. As long as there is no positive evidence, there is no evidence. Simple as that.
So, since you don´t know how homeopathy works, then it is everything on faith? That´s not very scientific at all.
@ebrobaru What about the study that showed that treatment of Osteoarthritis of the knee was just as effective and well-tolerated as conventional treatment?
Sure, the study was conducted at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, but obviously their methods were good enough to get them published in the Journal of Rheumatology.
@Starbat88 Of course now many colleges want to get into the mix of that business, as well as pharmacies and doctors themselves. Why not? The question is, does it work? Unfortunately, at this rate, other pseudo remedies such as Bach Flowers, and such will be also taught at reputed colleges. Did you know that just recently in Britain, the majority of medical insurance took out homeopathy remedies from coverage because the studies showed that it was inconclusive?
@ebrobaru I'll say it again, "The leading cold and flu medicine sold in France is still the Homeopathic preparation ‘Oscillococcinum’"
The LEADING cold and flu medication... In other words, it does better even than the Pharmaceutical remedies designed for that purpose. Supposing the pharmaceutical versions are somehow MORE effective than the Homeopathic ones, don't you think market demand would have drifted AWAY from Homeopathy? It hasn't. Homeopathy sells because it works.
I personally know of a chemistry PhD scientist who worked in DuPont USA as a scientist for 10 years who started as a 'disprover' of Homoeopathy using his 'molecules' and Avogadro number knowledge and atomic spectrometers, but left all that to become the most ardent disciple of Hahneman and also a great Doctor!. I don't think you have better knowledge and research experience than this man. Want to meet him? Come to South India any time of the day/night and contact me. I will take you to him.
@TheWorldIsRound2012 : You can't prove that something doesn't exist. You can't prove a negative, man. You prove that something does exist. Randi's got a million bucks waiting for ya when ya do.
People watch and fund Randi and other 'De-bunkers' and treat it as proof. Go and find proof for yourself,no one can show you the truth better. Maybe you may find out something that will change your world ,why not give it a try? What's holding you back? The change ? Most don't even start but 'believe' they know without even trying to experience one thing. Belief trapped & scared of anything outside the comfort zone. An indication of the culture we live in. It's sad.
@seethruable Why on earth would we waste our time and money trying quack remedies and therapies that are known not to work and have been debunked time and time again by other people? Why would we support those charlatans? It's not going to suddenly start working just because we tried it (unless it's due to the placebo effect).
There's a difference between being open minded and being so open minded your brain falls out.
@Tsuresu I mentioned nothing about spending any money on anybody else except time with yourself proving to yourself what these people do is fake or not by yourself. It can be done.
It will surprise you if you are committed. Most wouldn't even bother due to fear of their reality being turned upside down.
@seethruable Name me a single thing that is thought to be false by the skeptic community that you have found to be true.
Most people don't have the time to go and do their own research and read papers on every new age remedy or paranormal fad to work out whether they're false or not.
I've never seen a single video by a skeptic where they've simply said "this is false because I say so" they say it's false and then provide evidence for that claim. There's little point in doing your own research.
@seethruable It's pretty sad that you have to try and distract people from your inability to reply by saying that they "don't get it". I've read and re-read your messages to ensure that I haven't missed anything and as far as I can see I have not.
The world is an interesting enough place without having to believe in pseudoscience, quackery and the paranormal.
@seethruable This isn't personal either. But I don't come to conclusions by belief, I do by evidence, which all the videos I've seen produced by skeptics have provided.
You still haven't managed to provide me with an example of anything that skeptics commonly think of as false that you have found to be true. Stop coming up with excuses for nonsense and try living in reality - it's a pretty wonderful place - you don't need to gild the lily to make it any more beautiful.
@Tsuresu : " But I don't come to conclusions by belief, I do by evidence, which all the videos I've seen produced by skeptics have provided."
This evidence you say you see is a form of belief you miss. Like anything anybody tells you is true. Is the world flat? The whole world thought that 'belief' was true not that long ago and we're not any more advanced now concerning beliefs. Proof is what you want.
The nature of all this stuff is "subjective". Again go and experience, simple.
@seethruable Your reply to that guy was utter shite. His "belief" is presupposed by the evidence. He had something proven and then he believed it. A reasonable position.
Believing something because you believe it is well... nonsensical. Can't you see that?
Side note: The Ancient Greeks knew the world was round, not such a widespread delusion as it is claimed and answer this; "did people believing the world was flat make the world flat?" Belief has nothing to do with truth or facts.
@ainatan2 He doesn´t. The instruments he uses are fakes, like the ones used in props for movies special effects. Also, the blood you see is cleverly concealed and of course it is not from the "patient". Then it is released at the convenient time for show and effect
it just occurred to me, that the day your selected brand Calms Forte decides to be a fake-fake and puts real sleeping pills labelled as homeopathic medicines, you'd be in real trouble after one of your demos :-P
haha, imagine this, you swallow a shitload of homeopathic sleeping pills, and placebo urges you that you have overdosed so you rush to the er, and once you get there the doctors just cant stop laughing
"Advanced science" This makes me chuckle. It's a silly buzzword the advertisers will use to lure potential consumers. Lile showing a person, titlder Dr in a labcoat or the mere mention of scientific proof will instantaneously make a product credible. Advertisements will always lie about results as long as they arent harmfull. The latest beeing the "full Hybrid"car lines.. the name alone is stupid because Hybrid by definition means" combination or mixed origin" so there's no "full" to begin with.
Science bashing is their rhetoric, but I was shocked to discover that Republican Governments spend more on science than Democrats. So my question is what the fuck are the democrats playing at.

@greyeyed123 I just checked the prize account. Yes, it is bonds, but they were worth 1,023,000 in Feb. 2010. If any paranormal claims are true, why doesn't someone come forward and take the money? Silvia Browne takes $700 dollars for a 20 minute reading, so we know such people are not adverse to money, and taking money for their "services" apparently doesn't block the psychic signals from beyond the grave... wooooooo! What a bunch of phony's. Thank gravy Randi keeps them honest.

If "SenorBullshit" thinks there is something wrong with the JREF, why doesn't he take the challenge and claim the million dollar prize to give to his own religious cause?

@rouelibre1 trouble with that is you are still ingesting the same amount of drug, just with more water.
The drug may be dispersed over a wider area with more water, but there's still a large enough dose to have an effect.
The trouble with homeopathy is that they dilute it to the point where there is ZERO active ingredient left.
It's like throwing an aspirin in a lake, then taking a teaspoon of water from it for your headache in a few years time.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have a thought.
I believe I have heard James Randi state that homeopathic medicine, like the sleeping pills he takes, become more potent when diluted. I believe when he takes those pills to prove his point, he takes them straight or with a glass of water. While I realize the point is absurd, when logically approached, perhaps a better experiment would be to dilute the medicine to it's maximum strength (haha, the irony).
Maybe that will shut them up.

Homeopathy has repeatedly been shown to work on animals and infants, who don't know what they are taking. How can this be due to the placebo effect.
Homeopathic solutions have been shown to significantly enhance the growth rates of plants, who CERTAINLY don't know what they are getting. Placebo effect?
There was even a recent study that looked at the effects of Homeopathy Ruta 6 on human glioma cells IN VITRO. Tell me, are cancer cells in a petri dish susceptible to the placebo effect?
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 Yes, that´s what has been claimed, by homeopaths of course. I have not yet seen a study peer reviewed that shows that, of course besides the homeopath sites and publications.
The Ruta 6 study is indeed very interesting. However, a small detail was left out, not by the researchers, but by homeopathy supporters. The homeopathic solution was mixed with other components, not-homeopathic components. So, you can see while we fail to jump in joy for that study
ebrobaru 1 year ago
Did you actually read the study in detail?
Yes, other compounds were tested. Ruta 6 by itself did not do as much to kill the cancer cells as the peroxide. What it DID do is keep the normal cells alive in the presence of the cancer-killing peroxide.
So, this study shows that homeopathy is a useful addition to cancer therapy to kill cancer cells while protecting normal cells.
No educated homeopath would flatly claim that "homeopathy cures cancer". That is just a strawman argument.
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 You´d be surprised to see how many homeopaths claim that.
ebrobaru 1 year ago
@ebrobaru That has nothing to do with the actual science.
There is a range of competence among homeopaths. That's because their profession is unregulated in so many jurisdictions. There is a lot of disinformation floating around about Homeopathy. MOST of that disinformation however, comes from "skeptics" like loudmouth Randi here.
In France, 40% of people use Homeopathy. It isn't even "alternative" medicine over there.
Incidently, their healthcare system ranks #1 in the world.
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 Yeah and in the 18th century a 100% of the population (wealthy of course), had slaves. That didn´t make it ok. Homeopathy was given a pass in Europe not because it was ever tested to produce positive results, but to avoid long and costly litigation in the health departments of each country. I´m not familiar with France having the #1 rank healthcare system. It may very well be the case. The question would be, how much of homeopathy is included in that?
ebrobaru 1 year ago
British Medical Journal surveys discover 42% of all UK GP’s refer to a homeopath. 80% of recent medical school graduates in the UK are interested in training in Homeopathy and Acupuncture. UK visits to a homeopathic physician have steadily increased by as much as 39% per year since the 1980’s.
Starbat88 1 year ago
A massive 70% of French GP’s utilise Homeopathic medicines themselves as a corresponding percentage of the population incorporate homeopathy into their health care to some degree. All Pharmacy schools in France teach Homeopathy as do six Medical Colleges and four Veterinary Colleges. Homeopathic Medicines are consequently sold in over 20 000 Pharmacies across France. The leading cold and flu medicine sold in France is still the Homeopathic preparation ‘Oscillococcinum’.
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 Hey, I am not discounting the business side of homeopathy. As I told you before, homeopathy is and has been ever present especially in Europe, not because it passed any tests, but to avoid having a confrontation with that side when laws were passed in the early part of last century. I can see the thrive of business, after all, homeopathic remedies are never subject to any tests that could take them out of circulation.
ebrobaru 1 year ago
There's not nearly as much profit potential as with Pharmaceuticals. Why don't you go research some of the corruption that THEY'RE up to?
Don't you think that, given that highly educated and experienced medical doctors in Europe have, for DECADES, recognized the effectiveness of Homeopathy, that that is not worthy of consideration?
Don't think that if they're experience was that it was nothing more than placebo, somebody would have stopped it by now? Are you some kind of conspiracy theorist?
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 Oh I have never claimed that Pharmaceuticals is not a big business also. Sure, there should be a lot of corruption there. I have never denied that. The leading cold medicine in what regard? sales? or effectiveness?

@Starbat88 Thanks for the links. It´s interesting to note that most of the researchers that performed the tests participate in some kind of homeopathic facility. One study was conducted by the London School of Homeopathy. Here´s an extract of one of them.- One of the studies measured people´s satisfaction with homeopathy against conventional medicine, not if it worked or not. Another one states that proofs are inconclusive. Another that homeopathy is not less effective than medicine and so on
ebrobaru 1 year ago
@Starbat88 here´s a direct quote from one of them
"The major limitation of the present study is that patients
were not assigned randomly to their treatment group. The
majority of patients in the homeopathic group had a
strong treatment preference and consequently, they were
not willing to be randomized."
And you can find many indications like this one throughout them. So at best, the results are inconclusive. But I´ll give you points for trying
ebrobaru 1 year ago
@ebrobaru Any good scientist is intellectually honest and unbiased in describing their findings.
Just because the author(s) have made a point to acknowledge the limitations of a given study does NOT completely invalidate the entire study.
Typical of pseudoskeptics to immediately jump on any perceived weakness and blow it completely out of proportion, in order to affirm the conclusion that they've already decided is correct.
You clearly are no scientist.
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 A good scientist uses the scientific method and don´t just assume that by some miracle procedure, water with nothing else can do anything.
I am not saying that the studies are invalid, I am just saying that, in any case, the y are inconclusive. The same studies say so. But is is typical of hard core believers to claim a study such as these to be solid proof, when they are clearly not. I am not scientific? Ok, mr. scientific, tell me exactly how does water with ...
ebrobaru 1 year ago
Even saying that something is "inconclusive" is not the same as saying that there is "no evidence". It simply means there is not ENOUGH evidence to qualify as "proof". I never claimed these studies "proved" anything. My intention was to point out how incorrect you are to claim that there is "no evidence".
Finally, just because we don't know "how" doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Your reasoning seems to be, Homeopathy "can't" work, therefore it "doesn't" work. Very scientific. Not. -_-;
Starbat88 1 year ago
@Starbat88 I asked you for studies that proved that homeopathy works. You pointed to me to interesting, but inconclusive studies. Hence we are back at square one. As long as there is no positive evidence, there is no evidence. Simple as that.
So, since you don´t know how homeopathy works, then it is everything on faith? That´s not very scientific at all.

@ebrobaru What about the study that showed that treatment of Osteoarthritis of the knee was just as effective and well-tolerated as conventional treatment?

Did you know that just recently in Britain, the majority of medical insurance took out homeopathy remedies from coverage because the studies showed that it was inconclusive?

@ebrobaru I'll say it again, "The leading cold and flu medicine sold in France is still the Homeopathic preparation ‘Oscillococcinum’"
The LEADING cold and flu medication... In other words, it does better even than the Pharmaceutical remedies designed for that purpose. Supposing the pharmaceutical versions are somehow MORE effective than the Homeopathic ones, don't you think market demand would have drifted AWAY from Homeopathy? It hasn't. Homeopathy sells because it works.

Side note: The Ancient Greeks knew the world was round, not such a widespread delusion as it is claimed and answer this; "did people believing the world was flat make the world flat?" Belief has nothing to do with truth or facts.
