Wouldn’t that just be be herbal medicine prescribed by a homeopath, and not homeopathic success per se? I mean, if a homeopath sets a bone in my leg correctly, my leg healing does not prove homeopathy works.
In Canada, they are issued different types of licence numbers - homeopathic medicines with a DIN-HPM, and other “natural health products” with a NPN. This provides one way to tell them apart.
Herbals are obviously much more likely to have some sort of effect, for good or bad. It makes more sense to licence herbals for safety and effectiveness, than to licence homeopathic medicines, which generally do squat.
Twenty years ago, way back before I knew better, I would take Oscillococcinum. I would wonder why sometimes it worked like a charm and other times it didn’t work at all. I personally wouldn’t mind to see a class action lawsuit against drug stores that don’t separate actual medicine from homeopathic bullshit.
No, Mother tincture prescription is a part of homeopathy. Homeopaths have mother tincture form with them for most remedies. For ex, I know atleast ‘passiflora’ remedy was given in that form.
Again I ask: Are there any homeopathetic practitioners/experts/proponents on this planet that can tell the difference between a homeopathetic dilution and an equal amount of purified water?
This is a lie, pure and simple. It is not true in any way.
All the crap you’ve posted since then is obfuscation, irrelevant, and meaningless.
This is 100% untrue.
Article from a well respected* homeopath: Using Mother Tinctures and Low Potencies(below 12c) Cannot be Considered As Genuine Homeopathic Practice
For those unable to read it: Use of Mother Tinctures as remedies is NOT supported by homeopathic theory. It’s allopathic medicine, and not considered safe or effective by homeopathic principles. It happens, but it is not classic homeopathy.
*In homeopathic medicine, that is.
and there’s also 1X, 3X potency - meaning 1:10, and 1:1000 dilution of the undiluted extract which may work too.
though dilutions like 6C(1 : (100)^6 ?) or even further etc wouldn’t be more effective than placebo I think.
You may say you believe it to be false, irrelevant and meaningless etc. I do not have issues with your opinion.
But I have no reason to lie and obfuscate people.
You’d rather dodge inconvienient questions:
There’s a big difference between herbal and homeopathic.
Homeopathic is some sort of woo characterized by the notion that increasingly diluting something makes it more powerful; stuff like Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic cold remedy commonly sold at drugstores in a box intended to look like a legitimate pharmaceutical, is purportedly made from duck liver, but in accordance with the homeopathic woo, is diluted in such a way that mathematically, there may be one molecule from the duck liver active ingredient in your pills if you’re really, really lucky.
That sort of thing is sheer bullshit. Herbal medicines are something else entirely.
read reply in post#48. Mother tinctures, dilutions like 1x(1:10), 1c(1:100), 3x(1:1000) have a chance. Dilutions like 6c(1:100^6) or further work as less as placebo i think.
Mother tinctures, 1x, 1c, 3x etc are a part of homeo.
Like i said, mother tincture, 1x, 3x are quite common in homeopathy.
Nobody thinks you’re lying, we just know you’re wrong. All you’ve offered to support your assertions is an anecdote or two where the person may have been taking an active herbal remedy instead of an inactive “homeopathic” remedy.
And regardless of what they were actually taking, or whether or not it’s properly called “homeopathy”, a few uncontrolled anecdotes are worthless, anyway.
But not nearly so common as “medicines” like Oscillococcinum. From Wiki:
I am saying all that is part of homeopathy as a package -extreme dilution as well as non- extreme ones.
the number of remedies too probably exceed 1000, I have seen constituents of only 2 both of which happen to contain the chemicals which are scientifically known to act in the particular disorder. There would be many which do not contain any useful chems. Many would also be yet to be tested for effective chems.
All this is part of homeopathy is all I am saying
Good explanation of homeopathetic dilutions, and a list of the most common homeopathetic “medicines”.
Edited to add: I think y’all can do the math.
That’d be a “no”, then?
It is not my belief. It is not my opinion. It is solid, proven, incontrovertible FACT.
There’s an egregiously bad article about four women supposedly “beating” cancer with alternative remedies, including homeopathy.
One of the commenters, responding to a pro-homeopathy viewpoint, suggested the person try “Excrementum caninum.”
“On the principle that like treats like, I presume it treats shit-for-brains syndrome.”
Ouch.
