homeopathic europe
Avicenna asked:


[Original comment by "SkepDoc": Your shark analogy misses the point. The dilutions of blood they can detect are many orders of magnitude more concentrated than a typical homeopathic remedy. Also...there are scientific studies that demonstrate their abilities beyond any doubt. It also fits well with in known physiology and laws of physics. After 200 years of trying, the same can't be said of homeopathy].
Question:
The homoeopathic remedies I did come across in Europe and Australia [some of them made by the big pharma] were in the strength of 6X to 7X for the basic problems. The one stronger than that was a flu remedy “Oscillococcinum” which is 200C. It got me out of trouble and if a placebo can stop a flu virus cold in its truck, than hurrah to the placebo.
So with the 6X (equal to 3C) which is 1:1.000.000 and 7X which is 1:10.000.000 the molecule of blood in the ocean 1:25.000.000 is a real concentrate…. Please tell me. What is the typical homoeopathic remedy? Or ask the shark?
Meiliena and Keviin - thank you for your comments, but you totally missed the target.
And Erwin please, if I want some articles from the Wikipedia - I know where to find them. I need some honest answers.
Sandy, thank you for the nice mail and I will fix the problem.
It got me out of trouble and if a placebo can stop a flu virus cold in its truck, than hurrah to the placebo.
Rephrasing:
It got me out of trouble and if a placebo can stop a flu virus death in its truck, then
cheers to the placebo.

homeopathic healing
Sweet Pinki asked:


If not what is the rationale for such treatment ? Is it placebo ? Or faith healing ?

how does homeopathy work
StingRay asked:


So far what I have seen they sell these remedies which seem reasonably priced until you look at the dosing.

Does anyone have comparison results with placebo? I suspect that a good part of this may be the body healing itself.

for homeopathic medicines
Chalice asked:


I thought they contained herbs and things. Are there homeopathic remedies that contain water only?
I’m not a vet, I’m a vet nurse - big difference!

No animal realises the difference between a medicine and a placebo, which is why a placebo would have no effect.
Ad G, they’re all meta-analyses - have you come across any double-blind experiments?
Soul Doctor - I was just asking what they contain, not how effective they are.
