Is Homeopathy Effective?

[Subduction Zone]

What would lead you to believe that I do not want to know about homeopathy, the fact that that I studied it for four years?

I am not trying to have a conversation about homeopathy. As I said at the beginning of this thread and as I just said again on my previous post to you above, I don't want to discuss it.

Then why did you open a thread about it on a public forum? Your actions are contradicting your claims.

I can support my claims with valid sources.

Then go ahead and post them

you cannot tell if a source is biased or not.

And you can tell? Why do you think you can tell and I cannot tell?

I did not open a thread about homeopathy, @Tiberius started this thread.

I do not lecture pointlessly. If you are not going to participate there is no point.

And yes, I can tell. I do not have a vested interest either way when it comes to homeopathic medicine. I have no need to believe in it or disbelieve in it. That means that I can judge it in an unbiased manner.

You are right. He did. But there was no need for you to participate. I do apologize for saying that you started it.

Then don't post it, unless you are posting it for others besides me.

It was my mistake that I participated at all. I should have know better, but we all make mistakes.

You use homeopathy. You clearly believe it without understanding it. That indicates a vested interest.

I used it but I am not using it now.
I do understand how it works and why it works because I studied the principles of homeopathy.

Since it demonstrably can't work I really doubt your claim.

Do you think that water has a selective memory?

Can you prove that claim?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Can you prove that claim?

That it can't work as advertised? Yes.

What do you think it is advertised to do?

Oh my. How can I take you seriously?

That was an honest question. What do you think that homeopaths claim to be able to treat?

I know a woman who says she cured her cancer with barley I believe it was.
Whether it worked or her faith healed her there's no denying she's healthy now.
I think modern drugs are mostly just treating symptoms. Often there are better options.

They will claim to be able to treat all sorts of illnesses. Once again, ask Aaron Rodgers. Yours made claims that he could treat you. You may have gotten better, but that appears to be a coincidence. There really is no evidence for the homeopath doing anything for you.

There are several more likely scenarios. Number one was that she was getting real medicine that worked, but she did not give it proper credit. She never had cancer in the first place is also a possibility. And there is a very very small chance that she did have cancer and got better, but she would still have no clue as to how she got better.

What would constitute evidence?
You do not know that it was a coincidence unless you can prove it and as such it is only your personal opinion.

That is what drugs do, treat symptoms, but they do not cure disease. Often there are better options.
