Re: do you have faith in Homeopathy?
Homeopathy could be extrapolated to mean if I smell bacon, I don't need to eat any?
That just doesn't sound right!

After you smell the bacon, you need to be beaten with a silver rod to properly succuss you. After that, you will be crispybacon instead of chunkyfrog.chunkyfrog wrote:Homeopathy could be extrapolated to mean if I smell bacon, I don't need to eat any?

Re: do you have faith in Homeopathy?
Homeopathy works by placebo effect at best. At worst, it kills people who use it in lieu of actual medicine. And in my personal opinion, it's about as effective as the laying on of hands.

FDA to evaluate homeopathy regulatory framework
Tuesday, March 24, 2015 1:37 p.m. CDT
(Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it would hold a public hearing seeking information and comment on the use of products labeled 'homeopathic', as well as the agency's regulatory framework for such products.
The hearing, scheduled for April 20-21, will discuss prescription drugs, biological products, and over-the-counter drugs labeled homeopathic, a market that has expanded to become a multimillion dollar industry in the United States.
The agency is set to evaluate its regulatory framework for homeopathic products after a quarter century. (http://1.usa.gov/1Hxwup3)
An Australian government study released this month concluded that homeopathy does not work. (http://bit.ly/1BheAmR)
The FDA issued a warning earlier this month asking consumers not to rely on asthma products labeled homeopathic that are sold over the counter. (http://1.usa.gov/1EEuKrC).
Homeopathic medicines include pellets placed under the tongue, tablets, liquids, ointments, sprays and creams.
The basic principles of homeopathy, formulated by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in the late 18th century, are based on a theory that a disease can be treated using small doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would produce symptoms of the disease.
The agenda for the hearing will be posted soon, the FDA said on Tuesday.

So they're going to spend my tax dollars to figure out if it's true or not that if someone rubs jimsonweed paste on their temples and sews up a lizard's mouth they can tell the future?

Re: Venn Diagram
Good, but shouldn't there be an intersection (overlap) of the sets "Medicine as understood now" and "Woo"?

Re: do you have faith in Homeopathy?
Minimal is an understatement. They take one drop of something that can cause the problem and mix it in a gallon of water (for example if you want to cure vomiting you use something that will cause vomiting).Captain_Midnight wrote:Thanks for the opinion and the link (which I did not visit, as I choose to avoid aljezeera).
As a scientist, I'm not a huge fan of homeopathy. IIRC however, I do seem to recall that homeopaths prefer small or minimal dosages of prescriptions, and if that is the case, there might be some merit to that approach for some patients.
I do believe that there is a place for alternative medicine, including the substitution of natural products for Rxs in some cases. (For example, one suspects that big pharma mjust hates fish oil, vitamin D, and magnesium.)
.
Then they take a drop of that solution and mix it a new gallon of water. They do that a number of times until there is no detectable ammout in the last solution. That is minimal for sure.
They claim that the "essence" of the compound modifies the water in some magical way so that it becomes therapeutic.
