I don't understand all the hate the speaker is getting in the comments. He explained that medicine should be prompted by thought and reason and then described some of the inconsistencies of reason in homeopathy. I can not see how this offends any practitioner of homeopathy. If one believes that a particular homeopathic medicine cures a disease all one needs to do is conduct a controlled experiment and publish the results. This would systematically prove the homeopathy dissenters wrong.

I sustained injury in my thumb nail and it was very painful. Consulted a number of orthopedics...did a lot of tests including CT scan...took all medicines and injections as prescribed by the orthopedics from time to time but the pain never subsided. At last a friend suggested me to consult a homeopathic doctor who gave me some homeo pills. I took the pills for only seven days and my finger pain had gone away completely and till date there is no pain in my finger. I also did not believe in homeopathy...but I experienced the result and thus just sharing my experience...

I was having skin tags near my eyes and an injury mark on my hand. I took homeopathic medicine and my skin tags really disappeared and the injury marks on my hands too. It took me around 2 months I think. Modern medicine was telling me about costly laser surgery but homeopathic worked. I challenge any of the modern medicine doctors to tell me how did homeopathy work. I even didn't believe in homeopathy at that time and it worked.

I have got complete releaf from asthama and back ache by taking medicines of homeopathy. Practicing homeopathy is not a joke. Hats off to all homeopathy Doctors

As a non doctor I really don't know the in and out of medical science. But it was once that allopathy made me put in such deep grave, I lost my all fear and hope of living. I was on allopathy medicine for 1 month. I was in Delhi then, and had visited 3 major big hospitals for this. But nothing at all worked. I had more than 20 blood tests, sonography and what not. Last left was MMR and brain scanning. It was then that my sister said let's see if homeopathy works. And yes, it did worked and I was all okay within just 3 days. I cannot express how much I owe my life to the homeopathy doctor.
This is my experience.

In 2017 NHS England said it would no longer fund homeopathy on the NHS as the lack of any evidence for its effectiveness did not justify the cost. This was backed by a High Court judgement in 2018.

It would be great if TEDx Talks had captions available on their videos. With 21m subscribers & their dedication to sharing the spoken word, it would totally be worth it. Sometimes I want to clarify a long or technical word I’ve never heard.

My brother was advised surgery for tonsillitis by at least two allopathic as a 6 year old after seeing much sickness due to it. He underwent Homeo treatment and was cured in a month or two. He is 36 now and never had an issue with his tonsils or ENT again. On the contrary people who underwent the surgery went on to have many complications.

[shivaprasaddesai]

DR. Abhyankar"s approach is truly scientific and rational . With due respect to him i appeal
he may please pay attention to facts about allopathy revealed by DR. B. M. Hegde who is basically an allopathy doctor

[mathewthomas]

I've been using Allopathy for years but recently started using homeopathy for my 9 months old. Their medicine for constipation works great for my little one. If it's only water it's great, we will keep using it..:)

[roopaliwaidande]

I'm really sorry to say Dr shantanu.... You haven't studied well.... So you took the easy way of prescribing an antibiotic a pain killer an antacid and a multivitamin for any and everything that comes to you.... All the best... God bless you

[jampoozeditzz]

[rahwa]

I have stomach issues that start with food poisoning. Done all tests possible. Everything came back normal. Finally, the doctors discharged me, saying it could be stress relates. I have stomach pain and extreme food sensitivities. My friend suggested it cured her stomach ulcer and to try homoeopathy, and i can't decide reading all these mixed comments

[sanjayjadhav]

This is "Antagonism with himself"....

U r saying "we do not despise or criticize alternative systems"...And u have spent ur valuable 18 min just to criticize and despise alternative systems.

The more homoeopathy is criticized, more popular it's being....

Thank you sir for helping us to be popular 👍

[Wisephoton]

Thank you Dr. Shantanu Abyyankar for doing this and explaining this and putting trust back into scientific reasoning. As a student of science myself it is difficult being Indian at the same time LOL!.

[goodg]

Why can't homoeopathic medicines be put through the same tests like allopathy medicines?
