If you believe that homeopathic medicine can treat ailments better than medicine that has been scientifically proven to work, you are acting irrational. In this short video James Randi explains homeopathy. This is a portion of the lecture Randi gave at Princeton in 2001. The full video is here: http://www.rationalresponders.com/james_randi_lecture_at_princeton_2001_2hours

  • Wow over 5 years after this was posted and the flame war is still going!

  • @77shahketan Ah yes, the alt-med argument of individualization. Seen that one before. I would have to assume, then, that you believe, as I do, that Boiron, Ainsworths, Celletech, Barthel & Barthel and Hahnemann Labs are all fraudsters? Interesting how Hahnemann had no knowledge of genetics when he developed his theory that disease was caused by Gonnorrhoea, Syphillis and "The Itch".

  • @stevemacbr The whole concept of "Big", whether it be attached to "Pharma","Tobacco","Corn" etc. involves the concept of a conspiracy.

    " In effect, big pharma, science & chemists continually omit part of the industrialisation process"

    You are using "Science" as if it was a cabal of individuals conspiring to keep information from the public. If I'm in error, then enlighten me.

    As far as McTaggart is concerned, writing a book based on Quantum Theory when she doesn't understand it? Pure drivel.

  • @TheYummyLaura if they cure its a science &if Homeopathy cures its a placebo effect !!! Hahnemann was most scientific man on earth... this people don't understand him as Jesus christ... may God bless them.

  • @asus3852 Hahnemann never said there is disease specific remedies in Homeopathy.. we should understand what makes her sleepless ,what is her genetic make up,etc... if we use Homeopathic medicine as allopathy we are not going get result..as it is science of Indivivdualisation....

  • @SimuLord --If you actually stopped to read what I have written, you would see that I am NOT defending Homoeopathy as it stands, its mal-practitioners or the industrialised PROCESSES used in the manufacture of any of the PRODUCTS !!!

    How can you obtain the 'scientific proof' of something when the 'process' of the products is FLAWED? -it becomes no more than a placebo.

    Once the understanding behind the (current)OMISSION becomes accepted and practised, the results will alter in favour.

  • @stevemacbr Pot. Kettle.

  • @SimuLord - Why don't you spend your time more effectively by doing your own research and assimilating the data and results that are available if only you open your eyes and mind sufficiently -&- before you become derogatory and negative about concepts and investigations which could prove to affect the fundamental basis of your arguments.When you can respond with any valid arguments on to the current research into 'consciousness',-then I might entertain your attempt to at appear smart.

  • @stevemacbr Oh, for gods' sake. Is there ANY reproducible scientific evidence for that absurd assertion or do you just have to clap your hands and believe in magic? I'm as religiously inclined (and of the non-Christian variety) as any man alive. I believe the gods interfere in the affairs of men and that spirituality guides fortune. And I think you're a crank.

  • @SimuLord --- Read the above. In the series of lectures driven by Lynne McTaggart on 'consciousness',... it has been proven that 'thought impression' on H2O (water) changes the ionic lattice of the molecular structure. It is this 'impression' that acts as a 'catalyst' for the active ingredient.

    Any mechanical manufacturing as used in Big Pharma omits this aspect in production, and thereby negates the catalytic effect.

    Spiritual people call these two aspects -Prayer and Blessed Water.
