I'm not sure if this should be here or in pseudoscience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0&feature=player_embedded Comments?
james im currently operning the video however you know well my feelings about homeopathy. For starters there initial premis is illogical, to say that you can dilute a substance to the point that it has no side effects while at the same time saying that the dilution makes it more effective makes no sense. This is further highlighted if you read the back of a homeopathic pain killers packet. They state on the back that for a mild headache take one tablet, for server take 2. Well if there theory could hold water (parden the pun) then wouldnt that be backwards? ie take 2 for mild and 1 for server? Further more one person sort to argue that vacinations were proof that the theory works. However they are wrong, vacinations work by exposure which alows the body to build up antibodies to the disease or by a direct injection of antibodies. So yes technically they could argue that its "like beating like" however for the people who do argue this i offer a challange. Come to my house and i will cut an artery in your arm, then you can chose your treatment. Either a) i will provide pressure to the wound to induce clotting, transport to hospital where the wound can be stiched up ect. or you can chose option b and actually put your theory to the test. In the other arm i will make a small cut to one of the minor arteriols and we can watch and see if like cures like Or we could try cutting off your arm and then cutting the finger off the other arm and seeing if that fixes the missing arm before you bleed to death. Or should that be making a small cut on the other arm in the same spot? or we could try shock, i will drain 3 L of your blood and then put a drop of that blood into 4 L of pure water and put it back into you and watch you die from all your cells exploding HEHEHEE finally finished downloading the videoPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Water conformation makes homeopathy possible. Water is an incredibly complex substance with very many unexplainable properties; if homeopathy has any statistical benefits it is because of this.
That's absurd. Water is water. Which unexplainable properties has it? How are the statistical advantages of homeopathy different from idiopathic recovery rates?
DRZion you willing to put that to the test? my offer still stands and you can pick which injury you prefer- aterial bleeding, shock or amputation
As there is finite water on the planet, and it has therefore had a long time to come into contact with pretty much every substance on the planet over time, and become diluted again, how come rain, or sea water doesn't cure all ills? Why doesn't this magic effect work until a homeopath SELLS it to someone. Oh, I think I answered my own question.

Based on my homeopathy research and practice long ago, some homeopathic products at the level of mother tincture have some influence on the body same as say St. Johns wort, Echinacea etc. Others are totally useless - more like placebo. Higher dilution does not have any magic in them. The thought that a single molecule could create a massive reaction in the body does not take in to account that the body does not have sensors to measure at that level. That is why herpes virus stays dormant at lower concentration (besides having a benign protein coating) and the body does not react. It is unlikely that a single molecule of Hypericum (St. Johns Wort) will do anything....
