Homeopathy is quackery. It's a scam designed for crooks so that they can rip off gullible ignorant fools desperate for cures.

Initial ingredient has no basis. Dilution making things stronger has no basis. Water memory has no basis.

Homeopathy is purely a bunch of made up crap.

There exists no scientifically sound evidence showing homeopathy is more effective that a placebo effect.

People that think homeopathy cured anything it's just anecdotal evidence.

OUCH !

@antiquack I'm not ready to ascribe bad faith to the practitioners, but otherwise, I have to agree. I'm openminded, though, in case a new stream of high quality, replicated studies should emerge.

rachel, have you checked out Jack Hammer on Liveleak? Take a look, and compare him to John Benneth...

[rachelschmink]

@C0nc0rdance Yeah, I've seen that. He's waiting to be discovered.

Few problems with their explanation, even at nano scale you can still detect and clearly see most structures under even shoddiest of electron microscopes.

If this structures are "self replicating" even if they start at nano scale you would be able to clearly see them even with naked eye after sufficient time.

Even if you can't see those "nano crystalloids" but they still emit radiation it could be detected in few minutes by any one who has access to equipment necessary.

@MrBizak I won't even get started trying to untangle this rats' nest of contradictory assertions about "how homeopathy works".

[antiquack]

@rachelschmink There exists no replicatable study in favor of homeopathy as of yet, and neither will there ever be. All the open minds in the world can't change that fact. Homeopathy is a whole lot of absolutely nothing no matter how anyone turns it.

This video pretends to ask how Homeopathy works, but it is merely a lampoon of individuals involved in the practice. It is a sneering type of portrayal. It is obvious that intelligence is Rachael's resistance to other, non-rational forms of knowledge -perhaps she should buy a goldfish and try to accept it for its stupidity - I sense a vulnerability at the thought that some Homeopath might hoodwink her into believing some 'non-sense". Trust yourself Rachael. Try it out. Empirically.

Benneth's word salads never fail to amuse me.

Picking at homeopaths is like shooting fish in a barrel.

@VDKaviraj If any vindictive garbage was spewed, it was those deceptive references you provided in an attempt to sell your story. It didn't work.

"White holes" are nonsense.

And that other study is about DNA, not Homeopathy.

You're trying to ride on the credibility of other, and neither myself, nor all the actual scientists fall for it.

You have no credibility because you have not earned it.

[a1mint]

@VDKaviraj No I have not lost. I have won. You have lost. You have failed to provide any credible information that Homeopathy can work.

You are referring to unrelated deceptive studies that don't even have anything to do with Homeopathy and people that have been dismissed in the scientific community for making utter nonsensical statements.

You are not a scientist.

Now go rinse you mouth, you QUACK !

More backwards logic. Typical con artistry.
