Homeopathy?

I was taking a continuing education course that was talking about pharmacists and techs understanding homeopathy, which I knew nothing about. But something that struck me as strange was that, if you can’t overdose on levels they prescribe because it’s so diluted how is it supposed to have any effect on the body, unless you have some severe allergy, and an even stronger effect the more diluted it is? They liken that to a vaccine with a dead or diminished version of the virus, but I don’t see it as “diminish agent” and “diluted chemical” as a perfect equivocation. It does say it should be used for “self-limiting” conditions and symptom alleviation, and not to be used in place of conventional medicine or with threatening illnesses. But it just seems like it’s asking pharmacist to pander to patients who believes the system of homeopathy works.

I use Homopathic medicine quite frequently. It is given a bad name by the pharmaceutical industry because it eats way at their trillion dollar industry. They're currently in the works of making it illegal to purchase. If it didn't work then why would they go to the extremes of getting rid of it. I've had great success with it. It is a trial and error though. But it's worth a try especially with no side effects. Doctors use allopathic ways of treating ailments with drugs. They're backwards way of thinking is treating the symptoms and not the problem. For example the cholesterol scam. Cholesterol is not a disease but an indicator. Your body has to have cholesterol to produce healthy cells hormones and your body produces it naturally. If your cholesterol is high they give you a drug to reduce the cholesterol instead of finding out what's causing the high levels. Limit cholesterol in your body cannot naturally heal itself and that leads to a slow death. And the whole flu shots scam is even more absurd and ridiculous.
@SW-User Sweetheart I commend you on your due diligence. I admire your research and willingness to set the truth out there but you have to understand people can only understand from their level of perception based on they're limited perspective. I can see that you're very intelligent and I admire that. I'm a microbiologist and I also teach human anatomy and dissection. Everything you've said thus far is 100% valid. Keep up the good fight but pick your battles.

@elevendyflavin Bullshit word salad. If you were ( or worth your salt in the field) you would know that you cannot fractionally dilute something that much and have anything left but water and that homeopathy has been scientifically busted over and over again.

@elevendyflavin You can’t even name the fallacy. What is “it’s what you can’t see” mean? Between the 2 of you who believe it here you used:

-Red Herring “Big Pharma” is trying to shut them down, 60 Doctors murdered; where even if that was true, it has nothing to do with whether homeopathy works.

-Argument from Authority. You’re a microbiologist and teach you human anatomy. That doesn’t give you authority to say that it work. With those fields, even if you did start a study, I don’t know you’d be qualified to analyze with only those fields.

-‘I know it work cause I’ve seen it with my own eyes’ and ‘I saw it cure cancer’ and ‘it works for me’. Anecdotes and agument from personal experience. Even if those people were apparently cured by homeopathy, it can’t be confirmed and are relatively useless to point to. And again people make unfounded connections all the time. That why we have to controlled tests.

It that “what I can’t see” is? That I can see someone use homeopathy and when it apparently helps them, I don’t believe it really works?

I believe it is asking pharmacist to pander to patients who believe the system of homeopathy. After looking into Homeopathy for a paper in college, forever ago, I came to the conclusion that homeopathy is 'medicine' for the naive and easily fooled. New age snake oil.

Used for "self-limiting" conditions means that you will get better even if you don't take the homeopathic medicine!

It's a crock of shite and has been disproved to work MANY times
Homeopathy is a scam. Snake oil.

Maybe they’ll have another one about Crystal Healing in the future.

@IstillmissEP The dilutions Hanneman proposed as being the most effective would have far surpassed the levels that there would not likely be one single molecule of the base substance left in the water.

@IstillmissEP “Energy” medicine... Energy is a very vague word; there’s almost nothing in this world that doesn’t have or isn’t a product of energy. Unless you mean something else be “energy”.

It's pure woo. Garbage. Basically what you are buying is water when you buy homeopathic remedies. It's completely insane that if you take a substance cut it with water, half that, cut it with water, half that cut it with water and then whack it on a table it becomes better and that in the end you are left with anything but water.

It defies all science and logical reason.
