By "potentiated", of course, you mean diluting to the point that the possibility that there is a single molecule of the "active" ingredient in your solution is far beyond that of winning the lottery. Of course it's safer, IT'S JUST WATER!

Homeopathy: does it work?

Yes. it cures stupidity by killing the affected.

@mr420B IF they could be healed quicker, there would be proper clinical trials demonstrating this. There are no such trials to support homeopathy. By proper I mean a trial that is independent and can be repeated to show the same results. The thing you need to be aware of with homeopathic "remedies" is that there is no active ingredient present. Can you agree that's not a good start....? :)

@Amygdala1OO yeh sure they go away, but that doesnt mean they cant be cured/ prevented from becoming infected/ encouraged to heal quicker etc etc- you could say that about most ailments that people go to the hospital or doctors for

@mr420B You joking? colds, flu, cuts, bruises, headaches get better anyway. It's called regression to the mean. you don't need to waste your money on that bollocks.

@PeeEsPee Homeopathy is total quack science. The rules of Homeopathy are:

1. Like cures like. So a homeopathic solution for insomnia would be caffeine.

2. The less of the substance you take, the stronger it is. So you can overdose from not taking the medication.

It isn't complicated to understand why homeopathy is a complete fraud. The only way for homeopathy to work would be if the laws of physics were changed, which is of course, impossible.

I still don't understand homeopathy.. -_-

@mr420B Yes. Exactly. That is the mark of PSEUDOskepticism

[mr420B]

@mr420B also it is common place in many countries, and people have used it for longer than ''conventional'' medicine
