Oh really? Full medical course and degrees? I can give you a course in ******** peddling and give you a degree. What does that mean? Can a homeopath prescribe real medicine? Can a homeopath perform a surgery? Of course not. Yes, in most countries homeopathy enjoys a special status by exempting it from having to prove efficacy and risk/benefit ratio analysis. With one condition. That it doesn't claim that it can cure anything. I wonder why that is.
ETA: Oh, and argumentum ad populum? Most people like it? Well then let's eat ****, billions of flies can't be wrong. |

What I never understand is how homeopaths can rail against the profits of pharmaceutical industries, while at the same time refusing to look at the profits made by homeopathic industries. How expensive IS bottled water? I'm betting a lot less than what they sell it for. Margins must be really good.
If pharmaceutical companies only though of profit we'd ONLY get homeopathic medicine. |

It is best to unlearn the habit of referring to homeopathic preparations with "homeopathic medicines".
Homeopathic preparations are NOT medicines, in any way shape or form. |

OK Kumar, tell me something that's A&F. Anything that's not purely a mental construct. Just one example would do. Should be easy, right? Since you are so keen on expecting A&F results from medical sciences, you must be holding other activities with possible adverse effects to the same standards, lest you be called hypocrite. Right? Some activities with possible adverse side effects include: eating, drinking, walking, driving a car, flying on an airplane, etc. There's a risk in everything. People usually engage in the activities in which the benefits vastly outweigh the risk. But not you. No, you require A&F. I guess you're not eating then...

Well educated people can be fooled too. Most of the time, after seeing the evidence, such people can also be convinced that they have been fooled.

Actually, it'd be pretty easy to convince me. A peer-reviewed, double-blind study ought to do it.
Funny thing about that, though. When folks try to do it, the miraculous benefits of homeopathy tend to vanish. I guess water is like God: neither one likes to perform while being watched? |
