6. Provings (part one)

[snifferdogx]

"Provings" - a wonderfully florid description of the placebo effect. So tragic that homeopaths refuse to acknowledge this fundamental mistake in their approach. But then again, if they did do that they'd be out of a business.

loltastic... It's somewhat close to double blind... they could help by adding regular water (lol) into the mix. If 50% of the people in the proving had non-potentiated (lol) water it could almost be seen as scientific.

That is NOT what double blind is

[cuallito]

@mebirdo Yeah it's single blind, and rooms full of people are notoriously unreliable (group think.)

[stonetop]

Double blind? It does not sound like they have a control group... plus talking about that in a group setting seems inherently flawed (it would be better to isolate each student and interview them separately.
