Bullshit. Link to a single legit double blind study where homeopathy was shown to be anything other than a scam.
There is, and never will be such thing, in standard procedures. Every "scientific" experiment is done this way: use the same substance over high enough amount of Experimental patients, and look what happens with them, or to them.
With homeopathy its impossible.
Every Homeopathical treatment has to be
specifically developed for patient with certain problem. And everything has to be taken into account: diet of the patient, environment in which patient lives, he grew up in, what his/her belief systems are, what are his/her family belief systems are, etc. One cure for one patient will
not work for the other patient.
This is one way at looking at Homeo, and problem with scientific proofing it works, or not. Second one involves the question whether the amount of active substance is significant enough to do any difference in human organism. The other part of this equation is also interesting. If Small amounts, insignificant, as scientists would say, of active substance have any effect on human organism, are small, insignificant amounts of Radioactive pollution, toxins in water, etc, significant enough to cause harm to the organisms. The answer to those questions is complicated. Involves unproven theory currently about environment of the substance having higher impact, on organism than the actual substance itself.
If you look at homeopathy solely from this point of view - yes it will be a hoax. But what about the data, of the EFFECTS that Homeopathy has on human health?
Luc Montagnier, Nobel Prize winner for discovering AIDS in 2008 has conducted several experiments about "Water Memory" and the ability of water to imprint specific properties of specific substance. The problem is explaining this. We do not know, and nobody so far has discovered
why water can transmit properties of substances, and cure human organisms, if the specific cure is instilled into water.
All I can give you is numbers.
In 2007 in Cuba there has been done experiment on 11 million people, for
Leptospirosis epidemic.
8.8 Million people have not been vaccinated, while 2.3 Million in similar region have been treated with homeopathic vaccine. In 2008, there has been discovered 22% increase in infections, in the 8.8 million people group, that has not been treated with any cure, or vaccine.
In 2.3 Million people group, that has been treated with Homeopathic Vaccine, or cure next year, in 2008, there has been 84% decrease in infections.
Before we will jump to conclusions about anything, I suggest we should wait for better understanding of nature, and human body.
I am not saying that Homeopathy is not a Hoax. I just do not understand it, but I do understand numbers, and case studies. Not everything can be as easily explained as you would want to believe.
