It doesn't look like it. It looks like they'd rather make sarcastic responses than actually defend it.

I would say based on their immediate responses they don't actually know what it is.

But many people still confuse homeopathy with naturopathy.

I hate homeopathy, I think it is ludicrous and potentially harmful. The only positive things I can think of to warrant it's existence are the fact it keeps the ''worried well'' out of real doctors offices and in order for the placebo effect to work you have to believe in it.

If it only kept the "worried well" out of real doctors offices, that might be okay. Still fundamentally dishonest, but at least acheiving a good result. However, I think it's just as likely to attract them as those who are actually sick, which leads to harm through delay of proper treatment.

I'm going to take a small hiatus from my usual practice of going around the ring with religionists to take on a more secular box of hooey, in my opinion, homeopathy. IMO homeopathy is quakery, bunkum, at best harmless and at worst dangerous.

Anyone interested in defending it?

If you were arguing that standard medicines have much more of an impact on symptoms of disease i would give you that argument.Many medicines never address the causes of the imbalance of the body in the first place though.
Of course you can count of being on many different medicines at the end of your life as you take one for the symptoms of another.
Homeopathy is more about treating the causes of the body being out of balance and not the result of it being out of balance.
This argument is really about as dumb as arguing whether the right nutrition plays a role in or our over all health.
Anyone with sense does not have to watch to many commercials between tv shows to watch the garbage and corruption being spread by big pharma.
I wonder if they are still trying to patton vitamin c as a drug? Why would they want to do such a thing?

Not sure what you're saying here. Are you stating that homeopathic remedies do anything whatsoever? If so, what?
