@Amygdala100 allergic to every kind of antibiotics? homeopathy doesn't work, it's been proven over and over again, i'm afraid you're a "victim" of the placebo effect.

[Nydracommander]

@Amygdala100 again, i suggest you look up what placebo effect means. It includes the different treatment, emotions and handling of sick animals, and the same principle applies to humans/children. placebo is a non-specific benefit effect. but here's the catch: normal drugs and treatment also invoke an important placebo effect, ON TOP of the normal effect they produce. Hundreds of studies have shown that homeopathy only offers placebo effects, and is thus the same as giving an inert substance.

The collective weight of scientific evidence has found homeopathy to be no more effective than a placebo.[2][3][4][5][6]

He is giving such a clear explanation. It is such shame that most people here are rubbishing everything he has to say... Saying that it has been "scientifically disproven" is not correct. Rather than just making such a simple (and very damaging statement) follow this man's advice, and look up the authoritative references he has listed

I think Dr. Bhatia is an authority whose opinion matters but I'm not saying that there is room for abuse with homeopathic which may be a reason to protest and make people aware - maybe Bhatia is missing the point.

I strongly support homeopathic "medicine". It is one of the few ways we have available to cleanse the gene pool of the genes for stupidity.

In 1989 there was a double blind, placebo-controlled study done on 487 influenza patients who had been referred by 149 different doctors. Over half who were given the homeopathic remedy called oscilloccoccinum recovered from the flu within 48 hours. The Lancet was not only impressed with the results but by how well the study was conducted. The study was published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 1989.
