Scientists say...homeopathy is not just placebo

Experts who know the current scientific literature explain how laboratory and clinical studies contradict the idea homeopathy is only a placebo effect.

I’m not a scientist... just a rather senior citizen treated by an amazing homeopathic doctor for the last eleven years. I no longer require any meds and my MD is content with my choice of health care... and my outcomes.

If I do not know the process of digestion would I stop eating ?? I am a Homeopathic doctor practicing in India treating minimum 30 patients a day (including All types of chronic diseases including approx 5-6 patients of present pandemic) successfully. Why would I be so interested to know the incompetence of science who is not able to explain how Homeopathy works. Most of the chronic diseases are curable with Homeopathy. But they are stamped by main stream medicine as incurable. Main stream medicines are very very limited in action as you can see in the present pandemic. They are busy experimenting several type of drugs on patients without any significant effect. It all started with HCq and now a days remdesivir. None of them are scientific, no evidence, but still being used.

Dr Samuel Hahnemann, father of homeopathy, was rigorously empirical in his approach unlike comtemporary doctors of the time, who were prepared to ignore the 'poisoning' effects of the medicines they used in crude doses on their patients.

What people don't understand, they laugh at.
Friend of mine found a lump under the skin on his chest, it was painful so he got really worried.
After he heard the story of his friend who got cured by homeopathic doctor, he thought he will give a try. After 2 weeks of taking homeopathic remedies the lump disappeared completely. I wish I could see such a results using so call conventional medicine.

If it works on plants and animals, then it's not placebo. Very simple.

[xx-rrug]

can we please move past this placebo effect debate. This has been going on far too long!

Well, just look at the longevity of the British Royal family (including the Queen going for a good ride on her horse just last year, at an age - 94 years - when others sit in the sun and nod a bit. If they're still around, that is).
They have had a homoeopathic physician for several generations now.

And before you cry out: "It's just good genes!" - How old did Prince Philip get?

Homeopathy can treat you for what which allopathy never can do, the people who understand the reality of homeopathy, will never try again for allopathic, infact homeopathy can exposed the allopathic world, hence it can be close all doctors and medical shop, hence they always tried to infamous it. But will not success.

[vanessaroberts]

Yes it does work!! I know first hand, I watched my daughter who was heavily medicated go through different stages to get back to her normal self!!
It took months and months for her to fully recover.

[Xx.bygracethrufaith]

It would be great if you could provide links to the studies mentioned!

[bubicaau]

No, homeopathy is NOT placebo, and my dog Narla knows that best!

I thought I'd find something new, but I notice that "SimStar" keeps quoting only newspaper articles of dubious credibility. I've read everything "SimStar" has shared and I'm bored. Please, people, if you encounter "SimStar" avoid responding to him, it is no use reasoning with him. 🙏

[purrcheeze]

I'm glad to share the new evidence in homeopathy.
Year: 2021
"This suggests that overall Arnica and
antiinflammatories are largely comparable"

2021:
"Agrohomeopathy is scientific knowledge that complements traditional
agriculture, considering itself as an alternative for agricultural production, which is currently in constant evolution, with great scientific advances and at the same time taking advantage of ancestral knowledge"

2021:
"This study concluded that X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and thermal analysis techniques Thermogravimetric (TG or
TGA), Differential Thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) are promising for standardization of Ferrum Phosphoricum 3X, 6X, and 12X trituration’s and can be used for the analysis of other biochemic salts as well"

[Notalloldpeople]

Can someone post me a link to a peer reviewed paper conducted under I internationally accepted rules by independent bodies which shows that homeopathic remedies have any efficacy beyond which can be explained by placebo? Could the physicist point me to a similar paper which explains how water memory works?

[maqafbridalsacademy]

Homeopathy is not just a placebo, I believe this works upto your cell levels and your neurone level the moment you put a drop on your tongue it's starts working .. once you got all the antibodies made by homeopathy in your blood .. this medicine is more than a miracle to the medical world ❤️ it is a real medicine ❤️❤️❤️

[IBN-nq]

I think homeopathy works even better than allopathy in some cases.

[purrcheeze]

Mr. Simstar is very angry, it seems that in his normal life he is very unhappy and needs to get even. Maybe the troll bot had no love when he was young, maybe he has always been very ugly at heart, maybe he has no family that really loves him.

[purrcheeze]

Not Wikipedia, not media outlets, only peer reviewed literature.

2003:
"Many experiments maintaining suitable controls have been done mainly with an objective to demonstrate the efficacy of potentized form of homeopathic drugs most commonly by using mammalian models like mice and rats, and occasionally other higher mammals like cattle or horse"

2010:
"Coming back to Montagnier's paper [17], our successive NMR studies since 2004 argue for the presence of nanosized superstructures in high dilutions prepared under strong agitation"

2013:
"Frequency domain signatures were recorded for distilled water, distilled water ? un-medicated globule, Arnica.. Mont.-30c, 200c; Anacardium Orientalis-30c and 200c.So, influence of medicine on water structure is undeniable"

2013:
"At the end of this twenty-year research on high dilutions, I have reached the conviction that such disturbances not only exist but can persist in the ultramolecular range beyond 12c. My conviction is based on the reproducible observation of an increase in the T1/T2 ratio as a function of dilution, never observed in controls submitted to strictly similar dilution/agitation process. Moreover, analyses of
data restricted to the highest levels of dilutions (>6c, 9c, 12c) ruled out any potential interference from the most concentrated samples"

2015:
"Actually by the existence of cluster nanostructures which are in entangled state in homeopathic water preparations, the effect of steady homeopathic influence of these preparations on alive organisms are explained"

2015:
"Both the presence of sulphur as well as succussion phenomenon is responsible for the variation of the physicochemical properties of these homoeopathic formulations"

2019:
"Evidence suggests that each homeopathic medicine is a complex multi-component, core-shell and/or doped nano-structured system ranging in sizes from 1 to 100 nm in diameter and exhibiting properties of self-organization, self-similarity, and emergence"

2020:
"A novel method is proposed for processing oxide powders with the structure of Aurivillius phases of Bi3TiNbO9 which results in an increase in the piezoelectric modulus of high-temperature ceramics produced from them. This method is based on the ultra high dilution of the original powders. It is easy to use, does not require expensive doping with high-purity materials, and does not add significant costs"

2020:
"Homeopathy, trying to bring the patient to that state of physical, social and psychological well-being, which is indefinable and unconscious. Homeopathic prophylaxis in Cuba has set high the principles of Community Medicine and once again demonstrates the
broad vision of a Cuban socialist healthcare system"

2021:
"This suggests that physicochemical properties expressed in the buffering capacity of ultra-high aqueous dilutions may be related to their structural heterogeneity"

2021:
"Water has been anomalous, and scientific understanding about it is increasing. Further, the activities of nature at the nanoscale
are now becoming more evident. The biological activity of serially diluted succussed solutions, even beyond the physical presence of solute, now seems scientifically plausible"

Hi, all believers in natural and curative system of medicine. HRI is located in london and claims to have lots of research under the hood by eminent personalities in scientific fields, then why has NHS withdrawn funding for homeopathic establishments around london since 2017. Isn't this research enough to convince the NHS and other institutions across the globe to fund, promote better sciences?

[purrcheeze]

"SimStar often mentions the article by Anurag Mehra and colleagues a lot, but it doesn't make sense. They say that Chikramane's article is invalid because they did not standardize the dinamization nor used methods to avoid contamination. But Chikramane's article proves otherwise. How is it possible that "The Wire" would publish such an appalling piece of disinformation? I continue to read carefully the articles that troll SimStar has left me, and each time I become more and more convinced that he knows nothing about science. Please avoid responding to him, he is all about provoking and reporting comments, he always repeats the same thing. Keep in mind that "SimStar" is a multi-account troll, he never responds with arguments but with already discarded reports that have been completely debunked in peer review literature. If you can report his account as spam or harassment you're welcome.
