2014, A Bad Year For Homoeopathy
"Homoeopathy is based on two principles "like cures like" and extreme dilution, in most cases to levels so dilute that there is almost no chance of a single remaining molecule of original compound being present in the remedy. "

Should doctors recommend homeopathy?
"Of all the major forms of complementary medicine, homeopathy is the most misunderstood. Based on the concept of "treating like with like," homeopathy originated with the German physician Samuel Hahnemann."

I used homoeopathy to cure my dehydration. It worked great.

Unfortunately, not even Homeopathy can cure stupidity.

You know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine

2:13 She says, "Almost no molecules of it left." Actually after 13C (give or take) there are indeed no molecules left and every subsequent dilution reduces the chance of any molecule being in the solution by a factor of 100.

i wish homeopaths would severely dilute the anaesthetic they take before an operation, and see if their theory holds!

Water can remember a long lost drop of onion juice, but some how forgets all the poo it has had in it.. - Tim Minchin (Storm)

By that logic, the ocean maintains the memory of all the diluted fish, whale, and dolphin semen and thus all the medicinal properties thereof.  And their poop.

I don't know shit about homeopathy, but I know damn well the pharmaceutical companies wouldn't let it be know by the public if there was a cheaper, more effective alternative to their drugs.

I had similar symptoms to ndph. New daily persistant headache yet nobody had yet diagnosed me. 3 weeks ago I visited a homeopath. They gave me 2 tablets and it helped me so much. I then had another 3 and my headache has now dissapeared. I love homeopathy for giving me my life back... Thank you Christian.

I heard someone once stopped using it and died from overdosing.

What I REALLY want to SEE is homeopathic medicine in production AND its step-by-step logistical movement through its entire supply chain.

Three years ago, homeopathic medicine were banned from naming the disease or discomfort that they claim to treat. It was ruled that the illness may only be mentioned when it has been scientifically tested to work against the illness.

Allopathic medicine gives a fast result I agree. But I end up with 10 more things to worry about. Ever wonder why you have to take so many medicines together?
With Homeopathy there's little to no side-effects whatsoever.
I had a Cyst or stye (different doctors said different things) on my eye for 2 years. Asked my mom to gave me medicine (she's a homeopathy doctor) but I didn't really follow it through the way she asked me to. I didn't take it, the cyst/stye, seriously. She got angry and told me if I'm not going to be consistent with her medicine it's better if I go to alopathy doctors. Cause they usually give a weeks medicine and fast result.
So I did....
Doctors gave me eye-drops. Tons of medicine. Suggested surgery. I took meds for so long, and I took them religiously. It was so expensive....
But nothing worked. Doctors told me I need to wait till it gets bigger so that they can remove it surgically.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I apologized to my mother, told her I'll take the meds the way she prescribes.
1 droper in a mug full of water. Mix it, drink one table-spoon and throw the rest away. Every morning, before brushing my teeth. No red meat until the course is over.
2 months later, my eye looked normal again!! I went to the doctors, they proudly took credit because they think homeopathy is a scam. But rest assured I wipped the smileS off their smug faces.
