Homeopathy Skepticism

Think we're overdue some scientific validation of the effectiveness, or otherwise, of this alternative cure. :)

He gets downvoted because it mainly falls in the same category as homeopathy, so if it has reproducible effects it no longer falls under homeopathy or 'traditional medicine' but just as regular medicine. People have to stop putting faith in this quackery and look at stuff that is tested and proven.

Homeopathy is total BS, but the placebo effect is real. Is there a way that medical science can allow people to benefit from the latter without rewarding quacks who push the former?

Can I interest you in some homeopathic remedies or a bottle of snake oil? Maybe prayer? History is full of people who thought/think their bias and anecdotal evidence is good enough.

the website you linked reads like homeopathic conspiratorial junk. I would be wary of anything they cite

It's like with homeopathy; it's effect cannot be measured beyond base background noise, but plenty of people believe it affects their bodies anyway.

He's one of three doctors listed on the homepage, which was the submitted link here.There's a difference between "we don't know everything" and "we have good reason to believe homeopathy is useful". Sure, maybe eating raw duck poop will cure asthma, but I'm not going to try it just in case it works.

Antidotes are not science. I have seen plenty testimonials for homeopathic treatments.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? However: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine

It basically endorses homeopathy which has been thoroughly debunked by evidence based medicine. Nothing it says is incorrect from a rigorous reading, but relying on a rigorous reading of your propaganda is no defense against spreading misinformation.
