Homeopathy

First of all, the concept of homeopathy is counter rational to all scientific evidence. The idea is that the more you dilute a particular substance, the more potent it becomes as a remedy!

The standard dilution used in the trade is 30C, as the practitioners call it. To get that level of dilution, we would have to dissolve 1 (yes, I mean ONE) molecule of the active ingredient in 10 to the power 35 (1 followed by 35 zeros) liters of water, (that’s approximately 10 billion times the volume of the entire Earth). At this dilution, water for all practical purposes is considered pure! In fact the purest of waters we can make on earth will have a lot more impurities than that!

So when you are taking a homeopathic remedy, all you’re doing is drinking water with probably some sugar globules.

All scientific evidence shows that homeopathy’s effectiveness does not and cannot be anything beyond the placebo effect. It does not cure anything, it does not kill bacteria, or viruses, or any other disease causing pathogen at all; in fact it is incapable of curing anything that the body wouldn’t be able to cure by itself. Homeopathy simply makes you feel good because you made an effort in a positive direction to heal yourself and there is an authoritative figure (the so called doctor) who is talking to you and reassuring you.

Simply put, homeopathy is NOT medicine! If you or your child is seriously ill, go to a real doctor! Please!
