Or is it that you're ignorant to believe it's something else?

BTW - Thanks for the first groan. It's so liberating. Damn with all the political correctness!

Please tell us what they prescribe and it's difference to water.

Can anyone make homeopathic remedies? What does the homepath do to water that would be any different to it's normal churning gurgling wondering through life.

Why doesn't all water have memory of everything that it's ever been in contact with? How can one be sure water used for homeopathy didn't accidentally retain the memory of something harmful? Is there a memory wiping ritual for water to make sure it's pure enough?

I mean, anyone who has used homeopathic medicines must have pissed them out in the water system, further diluting them (making them stronger), the water supply should be curing us of all our diseases.

A solitary anecdote is proof of nothing.

As has been previously quoted elsewhere, "the plural of anecdote is not data" (or something like that).

Congrats on your first moment of liberation here on the forum ! first groan, i had to live through that afew months ago
about the sugared water, infact it isnt just sugared water, it holds a very small potency of a natural substance,
if you think about it, just like the body holds a very small potency of light - its soul

oh, yes, thanks for your groan....tit for tat, very mature

I really do not have the time to record all the proof you guys need to be convinced, it is clear that you will never be convinced until, homeopathy proves positive results for you personally.
and I wont be holding my breath, you all all entitled to your opinions, and
so am I.

But of course you are then aware, that this exact same water, being in circulation around the world for billions of years in all its physical states, has already collected "potencies" of virtually all natural substances known (and unknown) to mankind - still before it was bottled and sold?

Whoaa, we found a believer... is there a homeopathic remedy based on popcorn?

You don't have time or it doesn't exist?

Some years ago, I had a crippling headache for more than a week. Migraine was suspected, then meningitis , but my bloods were normal. MRI and CT revealed nothing, neither did a visit to a neurologist. Rather begrudgingly, my wife eventually called a rather devout friend to come and say a rosary or something over me, and then booked me to see any acupunturist friend of hers. A couple of days later I was right as rain, if a little knackered.
You could argue it 2 ways, a) the acupuncture and/or praying miraculously cured me, or b) the infection/inflammation or whatever was on the way out anyway and the acupuncture just happened to be the last treatment before I got better (this is my interpretation).
I suspect in the vast majority of "successful" homeopathic treatments, the latter is the case.

I don't want to enter into a debate about the relative merits of acupuncture, just to provide a comparable example (for what it's worth, I think acupuncture has a much firmer basis in physiology than homeopathy).

Yes. It is scientifically proven that needles hurt the body. This might have an effect of some sort. Water doesn't.

Hey, if you drank 8 litres of water at one sitting, you'd bloody well feel the effects

can you not READ.....
i dont have the time....and now even less time

That's where you misunderstand. Personal proof, for me anyway, would prove nothing.

Surely a single reference to one homeopathetic person would have been much more efficacious than the four references given?

come off it weejeem, you of all people should know, it's the dilution effect

Do you have the address and the phone number of Dr. Bernard Thomas?Does he is located in Uster? I was not able to find his contacts on internet, but maybe I have done a wrong search.
Homeophaty sure works, at least for me. So far i have treated all my illness with Homeophaty, and I have never been disappointed.

Well first off, hats off to you all, this thread has given me such a laugh today!

If it's anecdotes you're after here's mine. My husband, trained pharmacist, suffering for years with psoriatic arthritis. He finally found something that really worked - Viox (was that with two x's can't remember now). A powerful painkiller anyway, but unfortunately it was taken off the market for showing heart-related side effects (heart attacks basically).

He was desperate and willing to try everything. He tried acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal remedies, Chinese medicine and he even went to a faith healer. All said they could definitely cure him and he gave them all a good go with a healthy does of "why the hell not".

None of them worked. He was in agony throughout every treatment. In the end the doc prescribed him a concoction of various painkillers which allows him to lead a relatively normal life.

Nothing serious I hope. I've heard about reduced efficacy relating to abdominal shotgun wounds and metastatic lung cancer.

Well if you aren't going to back up your claims with any credible evidence then I can't take you seriously. Don't post at all if you don't have the time to back up what you are claiming.

Wow those posts have really made me chuckle but I will admit that homeopathy worked for me.

I was diagnosed with glandular fever and there is no medication you can take to cure it. You just have to rest and wait to get better. Out of desperation to get rid of it before my move to China, I tried some homeopathic medecine and it worked after 3 weeks. Normally, glandular fever can go on for months and months and months. I also used to use it for hayfever when I was little.

Having said that, I'd still opt for the hardcore medication when I have an option to do so but I was impressed.
