		<description>Hi Mark

When you wrote "Just look at the research. When the patient and doctor both know who’s getting what, homeopathy works. When the doctor (but not the patient) knows, homeopathy works. When it’s subjected to double-blind tests, it fails." you summed up the whole argument.

Homeopathy doesn't work.  But the therapist-client liaison may work, and suggestion may work.

My complaint is against therapists who use smoke and mirrors in treatment instead of proven strategies. 

When we use proven strategies within a good therapist-client liaison, the outcomes are much better.  Why settle for snake oil?

And I'd really like to debunk the whole testimonial thing.  For example, there are people who have used hynosis to give up smoking and it's worked for them.  However studies show that this rate is actually less than 1%, about the same rate as people who try to give up smoking just by willpower.

Really enjoyed this thread.

		<description>homeopathy is absolute bullshit

Why?  "The more you distill the remedy, the stronger it gets"

That is their mantra, and they believe in vibrations of plants and the spirit of the plant getting into the water.

All you're drinking is alcohol and sulfites, it's potential lethal.</description>

		<description>There are well documented cases of cures through homeopathy where "modern medicine" has failed constantly.

Kevin Kane: the notion that we have made incredible advancements in medicine is largely hogwash.  Yes, we sterilize today... and yes, we certainly do make a pile more cash, but do we solve any more than we did fifty years ago?

Craproo to you... hogwash.

:)

I would rather try homeopathy than go to an allopath.  Surgery, surgery, surgery... and so on.

all hogwash...</description>
