This is by FAR the most patiently I've heard this explained. Without once being even remotely condescending. I'm kind of in awe. You're certainly better explainers than I am! It never occurred to me that a reason for homeopathy taking off could be that at a time when the available medicine might be just as likely to kill you as cure you, the homeopathic remedy itself is never going to be more harmful than sugar.

I grew up with homeopathy. Any time I was sick, my mom would open up this huge book about homeopathy and researched what about my symptoms. Also, when the illness didn't go away or wasn't clear she talked about consulting with an expert on the topic. After learning about the actual process of how globuli is made it took a while for me to accept that it's all just placebo - even though I normally tend to question everything I'm being told. Just goes to show how strong some belief can become ingrained if that's what you grew up with.

Doctors ask you even minute questions to know your sypmptoms better,as homeopathy works on symptoms,If the symptoms match the medicine ,the treatment is sure,,If does not match the symptom,no treatment. That is the reason they ask you several question just for correct medicine selection. It is not to have any time pass with you,, you believe in Allopath statement about Homeopathy,that is Placebo. Have research then have any opinion, first action of Homeopathy is Placebo which is brain control,,it does not rest on Placebo only,,further it proceeds to the other functions in order to cure the disease.Hope you 7nderstand

My mom had a plastic pill case that held a lot of tiny bottles of homeopathy pellets and would give them to me when I was feeling pain or discomfort. I didn’t really believe they were medicine even at that time, but the act of her giving me the homeopathy showed that my mom cared and sympathized for me and I think that made me feel better mentally. Thankfully my mom only used homeopathy for minor stuff like stomach aches or growing pains and took me to the doctor for more serious ailments, so I only have fond memories of homeopathy.

Oh, I hate homeopathy with burning passion. I once got a staphilococcus that kept spreading as my dear mother kept tugging me around healers and fed sugar pills. It got to the point of my eyes welding shut with pus every morning and having actual troubles eating because my lips were crusted with pus and skinless underneath - and I'm pretty sure like half of my mental illnesses come from that experience. Thank god and that one cat for inventing antibiotics and thank my grandma for taking me to an actual doctor. The infection was subdued in like a week after a month of unchecked spreading. Anyways, if I see another homeopathy affictionado I will start swinging - these hands held trust and respect at some point, maybe the trace amounts will be felt.

One of the best examples of the transferable placebo effect I observed in my psychology class was the case of a horse that could supposedly do math. By accident, I suppose they mentioned a math problem around a horse that then stamped its foot the number of times that equaled the answer. Obviously they were super excited and kept trying, and the horse kept getting it right. But the horse simply would keep stamping until the owners got visibly excited, at which point he stopped and was rewarded. The only math equation this horse knew was “stomp foot, get treats.”

This video beautifully expresses my thoughts on homeopathy and the problem with modern medicine. As a doctor, I see how patients are treated as numbers and not people. Homeopathy is a scam but it addressess the need people have to be listened to and validated. Every day I have patients tell me how they feel better after simply talking to me. Unfortunately that is becoming more and more rare in "modern medicine" where you're lucky to see a PA or nurse practitioner, much less a doctor.

Working at an alternative practice, the amount of times I've heard of cancers, disorders, and diagnosed diseases that were "obviously not real, since you're better now" from peoples GP is absurd. I'm not saying homeopathy/water directly cures or helps anything beyond hydration. What I'm saying is, homeopathics fit a niche that provides actual help to people. It is not a cold remedy. I have seen patients who have been through several chemo plans w/o help, and come back from a vision quest healthy. The positives that come with a positive outlook are undeniable, and plentiful.

Had bronchitis for 6 years. Took homoeopathic medicine for 1 year and I'd get better during a particular season and then had attack again. It got cured this year when I moved away from Delhi. Turns out it was pollen and pollution causing it. Took me a while to realise the entire situation. Turns out the belief that "I can get better" does wonders. As I'm sure it did in 1800s for people when proven remedies were non existent

@aude.sapere Жыл бұрын

In Organon of medicine it's written that the physician should also focus on the cause of disease and he should remove that cause. In your case pollen and bad quality of air was the cause of your bronchitis. The simple point of Hahnemann was that why we drug a person if he can be cured by removing the exciting cause of the disease. If you would have went to an allopath then he would have prescribed you anti allergy, anti inflammatory and medicines which can dilate your bronchi. So removing the exciting cause is better than making your body a dump ground of medicine.

I love the manner in which you approached this topic. It would be so easy to say something like "Homeopathy is dumb and doesn't work", yet you looked at it with pure facts and considered the pros and cons in a fairly neutral manner. Some members of my family swear by this 'natural cure-all spray' (which I'm almost certain is just tap water), but since the placebo effect of the spray actually helps them, I avoid saying anything about it. However, what's to stop people from re-selling Tic-Tacs and claiming them as anti-cancer pills? There's definitely a 'snake-oil salesman' aspect to this movement which I cannot respect. It's not difficult to profit from the ignorant.

Then why this placebo effect doesn't through so-called modern medicine? Most of the people turn to homoeopathy after being disappointed from many practitioners of so-called modern medicine and get cured. They had no beleif or faith in homoeopathy in the begining, so they tried allopathy again and again with trmendous faith. If the faith is the cause of the placebo effect, then why it didn't occur during allopathy management? Most of the people come to homoeopathy after being disappointed from any medicine and they have doubts in their mind. How this so-called placebo effect which didn't act earlier, not shows results? To answer these questions, one needs common sense, which is not common in common people. Scoience without conscience is not only fruitless, but it may be dangerous too! @@Juicelord001

What a great video! The use of homeopathy basically comes down to placebo effect, which I feel is often unjustly made fun of. It is a potent effect and a tribute to the powers of the human mind. It is not just making yourself believe that some medicine you're taking is effective, but has much greater implications. There has been a study done on the placebo effect that researched, how patients with headaches respond to aspirin or placebo. Pretty standard procedure, but the researchers went a step further. Instead of leaving the patients doubting whether they got the medicine, they actively told the patients that they were getting a placebo. What is amazing to me is that even though the patients knew they were ingesting an aspirin-free pill, their headaches got better comparable to them not knowing whether they got the placebo or the real deal. Truly astounding with lots of implications for modern therapy.

From scalp infections to chronic urticaria, it could be placebo but as someone who had tried all medicines and given up hope and was forced by parents to try it, with absolutely 0 faith it in working out, it actually did help. I want to study it in the future too, just to understand the sheer logic behind how it works. It might not replace modern medicine and it's possible that you might need the appendectomy more than sugar pills, but personally, whenever modern medicine raised its hands in defeat, this alternate medicine has worked wonders.
