While I tend to have similar believes that the “medicinal ingredients” in homeopathy pills are pretty much useless,

whats fascinating is that the placebo effect is getting stronger in humans all the time and if homeopathy somehow elicits this response then why the hell not?

Well, if only that were true, then the entire “conventional medical system” would be largely out of business, but it isn’t.

It’s a business, big business.

And you can rest assured – despite the fact that the surgery was useless, it has not slowed the number of invasive knee surgeries… full speed ahead.

And they make the homeopaths look like a bunch of rookies, if we look at the dollars paid versus success.

Horrible, but true.

Clinton,

“I don’t have the study to reference, but there was a good one comparison on knee surgery – where there were three groups – two types of invasive surgery, one who received the cut and no surgery. They were equally effective – including the folks who had no surgery at all, but believed that they had surgery”

This kind of thing happens all the time in conventional medicine. The point is though that if the result holds up then conventional medicine stops doing this type of surgery. Homeopaths on the other hand keep right on going.

This is one thread that never stops giving

In a world where I see pharmaceuticals introduced that barely exceed the effectiveness of a placebo, and I see all the naysayers lined up against unconventional medicing, I am left wondering why?

I suspect it’s the lack of “millions of dollars of research” and white clothing.

In my personal experience, everything is as effective as you believe it to be. I don’t have the study to reference, but there was a good one comparison on knee surgery – where there were three groups – two types of invasive surgery, one who received the cut and no surgery. They were equally effective – including the folks who had no surgery at all, but believed that they had surgery. I find that pretty fascinating in this argument about the 60x dosages.

It’s a dangerous game, and it goes far beyond the conversation of homeopathy vs allopathy.

I still don’t think that you did this one justice Mark… unless you were just aiming to stir the pot, which you may well have been doing

Peace all.

As for “It worked for the cousin of a friend of a coworker of my aunt” stories, remember one principle: The plural of anecdote is not data.

MacDog, based on the context, I’m thinking your comments may have been directed at PB and not me. Correct me if I am wrong.

PB, my goal is not to win, but to share information on an issue that might not have taken into consideration. Sorry if I offended you in the process, that was not my intention. I will work to frame my posts in a kinder way.

Ailu: it’s not anywhere near so personal as you received that. You are not your point.

Also, why wouldn’t placebos work on a person who believes nigh anything their parent tells them? It stands to reason it’d have more of an effect than normal.
