"I had radio therapy and chemotherapy but it was homeopathy that cured me"

What a dick

@GnosticMedia There is NO evidence of homeopathic cures guy.. too bad for you huh?

[avaberger]

@moorg745 one side effect? there are so many, and the worst is, that is creates cancer as well.

[cappsie1]

This story is purely anecdotal. There is no way we can know what happened either physiologically or allegedly pharmacologically. All clinical trials to date show that homeopathy has no effect beyond that of placebo. If it had, the data would support that. Again this is pure quackery and one should always take a critical look at these so-called treatments. Best quote of this video "the scientists haven't looked at all of the evidence" And the homeopaths can be trusted to prove its efficacy?!

"In India it's the first choice of medication". Maybe that's why it is 139th out of 194 countries in the world for life expectancy.

‎"an industry where sugar pills have healing powers conferred upon them by being shaken with one drop of the ingredient which has been diluted, so extremely, that it equates to one molecule of the substance in a sphere of water whose diameter is roughly the distance from the earth to the sun."

@moorg745 I am not an advocate of eliminating traditional medicine, but we should do way more in the line of preventative medicine as a first line of defense. Cancer is caused by the inability of our immune system to handle the poisons in our foods, medicines and environment. We should limit poisons in our environment and the foods that we eat. We should also strengthen our nutrition. Food and medicine research is performed by big corporations interested in profit.

@moorg745 When I think of homeopathic medicine, I think of proper nutrition and building the bodies abilities to fight disease. For instance, when my vitamin B and D levels were where they should be and I stopped eating aspartame and MSG, my body is able to heal itself and I am beginning to regain my memory and am no longer depressed. Another example, I suffer from boils, which doctors have not been able to cure. Garlic oil applied to them works very well. How? It's a natural antibiotic.

[moorg745]

@pieladypeace Then that's the doctor/doctors' fault. The problem is I see no way that homeopathy works other than placebo. As a result it won't work on me because I don't think it will work. If you wish to prove that homeopathy is real medicine and not a placebo than you have to explain how it works and show evidence that it does.

@moorg745 : Sorry, not meaning to shout. : ) But I was put on anti-depressants and they caused severe memory loss. Turns out I was low on D and B vitamins and allergic to MSG. Seems doctors often give out medicines before diagnosing problems. Many of my family members have had misdiagnosed problems and medicine reactions causing great harm. Medical mistakes IS the 3rd leading cause of death in US. You can just google this for your own proof. I am somewhat loosing faith in traditional Med

[moorg745]

@pieladypeace All of your shouting won't do anything unless you explain how it works, and give me evidence.

1 common side effect of chemotherapy: Hair falling out.

I knew that when I was 10.
