Proposal: Homeopathy is Pseudoscience

I challange Dr. Nancy Malik and anyone else who wishes to be involved in the debate that homopathics is anything more than pseudoscience.

Standed rules but with one adition
Only scientifically recognised, peer reviewed, published journal articals or cochrane grade reviews acceptable. Goverment documents acceptable as long as its at least single blind randomised clinical trials

I dont like him just dimissing science grade evidence all the time and thinking his own junk including what i send to you before, so lets see if he can actually surport his postition against cochrane

The name Nancy indicates to me that he is a she...but I could be wrong...

 

Thanks Assguard.

I think I would enjoy discussing with so many skeptics.

 

Hey, I will be with Nancy on this one, just for the mental challange!

The whole question as usual depends on the definition: what is pseudoscience?

Homeopathy is "placebo therapy at best and quackery at worst.", but would that make it also a pseudoscience???

 

syxygys BEFORE we start we are defining that, psudoscience means what it means HERE. ie there isnt one scientfic paper proving that ANY of it works and its where all discusions for homopathics will be requested to go if you lose

It means its no better than what rikie (or whatever his name is) posts

Oh and Syzygys unlike last time this isnt an ethical debate, it requires scientific papers.

One more change im afraid i mixed up the weeks and i go back to uni next week so i need to request that we vary the maximum posting time to 7 days if thats ok with you, i doubt i can do this sort of resurch during the week unfortuantly

 

will leave the proposal thread open till sunday to see if anyone else wishes in to the debate if thats ok with you, Dr. Nancy Malik.

 

Prove that homeopathy is a pseudo Science

No problems Sir.

 

ummm arnt they the same thing?

before i showed my own ignorance i googled "homeopathy" and got this site "Australian Homoeopathic Association - Information on Homeopathy ..." so im assuming they are the same thing

However if im wrong feel free to correct
