There are a LOT of extremely arrogant and ill-informed people who think that they represent "scientific medicine" but sadly (and strangely), they have been shown to have a quite unscientific attitude. These "medical fundamentalists" do not understand homeopathy, and they do not seem to even understand GOOD science. Because I do not want these people to air their arrogance/ignorance, I do not allow such people to post here.

Can you please source the studies confirming the effects of homeopathy?

[HomeopathicDana]

@CelerMortis ...here are

-- Frass, M, Dielacher, C, Linkesch, M, et al. Influence of potassium dichromate on tracheal secretions in critically ill patients, Chest, March, 2005;127:936-941.

-- Bell IR, Lewis II DA, Brooks AJ, et al. Improved clinical status in fibromyalgia patients treated with individualized homeopathic remedies versus placebo, Rheumatology. 2004:1111-5.

Nano is just a prefex for the numrical term 10−9 or 0.000000001

[HomeopathicDana]

@NiPPleS404 One of the definitions of "nano" is one-billionth...but the ORIGIN of the word derives from the word "dwarf" or very small...and just as Steven Jobs used this word for one of his products, the word "nano" is commonly used to suggest something very small and yet very powerful...and that is a good description of what homepathic medicines are and do...

Many thanks for this brief introduction to Homeopathy!

I am happy to disclose that my complex health issues were relieved to a great extent by use of Homeo medicines.

(...cont) however, until we are actually able to observe & examine these properties, invoking proposed mechanisms of homeopathic Tx as fact is pointless. Neither 'side' of the debate has firm leg to stand on in terms of HOW the homeopathic treatments 'work'. A plethora of bad science (again on both 'sides') makes it difficult to draw solid conclusions. Tentatively, the evidence of homeopathic Tx efficacy is weak, however NOT so weak that it should be sidelined. We need more unbiased RCTs.

I agree that there is much pseudoscepticism touted in the homeopathy debate. Yes, the homeopathic mechanism is biologically implausible, however its stupid to use EBM to try and argue about the properties of H2O (or matter in general) when our understanding of physics and molecular physiology is so primitive. Comments like "chemistry and physics show us that homeopathy cannot work" are completely guilty of pseudoscience and misrepresentation of the current state of knowledge. (cont--->)

I am a scientist and I use Arnica and find its effects very benificial. I recently sprained my right shoulder and have been on the Arnica for a week or so. Good stuff

[mohanaturo]

Pseudoskepticism should be classified as a religion.

Homeopathy is science backed by studies done by 3 Nobel Laureate scientists in Chemistry(Hans Von Euler), Physics(Brian Josephson) and Physiology & Medicine(Luc Montagnier) and numerous other scientists who are specialists in their fields of work.

I am a former patient who got homeopathic treatment, it is something i just took without seriousness but i was suprissed that i got its effect just after a few days, i had arstma. During my visits to the clinik i happened to come in contact with many other patients and the stories i had from them......!!!! i just wish u could document these things! that was in Uganda, kampala

@Skarotum What a sicko because you embarrass yourself with your ignorance AND arrogance. Read the actual research on homeopathy, not just what the deniers and medical fundamentalists say...
