This proves it's not scientific.

i changed my post because i forgot MAW is actually a doc so he SHOULD have access to it

As for what cochrane is its meta resurch. lost of goverments pay for country wide access

this is there home page: http://www.cochrane.org/

In general they ONLY take double blind trials (unless its something like a surgical procidure) from all over the world and they put them together and come up with an answer from all that resurch.

Its the gold standed of evidence based med

 

Thanks for the explanation.
As for Mad, that's why I recommended him

I'm looking forward to watching the formal debate already.

 

It would help a lot, if you explained exactly what this 'energy' is and exactly how it works.

 

It's a mystical energy imbued by only those that charge for their services.

Regular water which comes into contact with all plant life on the planet, and is then dissolved in the sea, and precipitated, on a cycle, somehow never picks up, or always loses this imprint. But if you are charged money for the water, the imprint or energy remains.

Convenient for homeopaths that, huh? ;-)

 

My own homeopath was also a fully qualified allopath. He found homeopathy more useful for chronic conditions.

 

You'll be lucky. It's all of a piece with psychic energy as spoken of by mystics and other charlatans.

 

Then he must have been a lousy doctor.Can you give us a few examples of his findings ?

 

Doctors too are only people.

 

Don't be so cynical. I read an article in Crackpots' Monthly which described how a man became a millionaire. He placed coins in water, removed them and diluted the water. The rest is a secret.

 

James Randi explains Homeopathy

 

Yup, myself. I had chronic anemia and took iron supplements for 6 years to correct it. Did not work. Took a homeopathy course for 6 months. That was 20 years ago. Haven't taken supplements since and have a hemoglobin of over 13 for all that time, or at least when I have had occasion to measure it. According to this doctor [he was a military doctor], the efficacy of homeopathy depends on the ability of the homeopath to correctly diagnose the underlying disorder.

 

Allopathy is by far more scientific. As you point out, allopathic medicine requires testing and experimentation. Some such experimentation falsifies the effect, mind, and drug companies have a whole cheerful host of marketing strategies designed to bulwark their fortunes against that, but that doesn't detract from the reality of their scientific process. Homeopathy does not remotely register, except as a placebo effect.

Mind you, it does have a wonderful effect on the psyche of the practitioner, who is able to ease their mind by their augmented bank account.
