Some concerns about homeopathy

[Mij]

I accept that she believes it helped her. I won't try it though.

I tried it to satisfy my mother some years ago, it did nothing.

I tried it too, nothing

I accept that it helped Brenda.

Me too but that does not mean I must believe in classic homeopathy.

 

[lansbergen]

I certainly don't - I accept that Brenda thinks it helped her, but that's an entirely different thing.

If she thinks it helped her then it helped her for whatever reason.

 

[Mrs Sowester]

Try it and see.

OK @brenda, you pay for it, if it works I'll pay you back.

 

[Mij]

OK @brenda, you pay for it, if it works I'll pay you back.

I wouldn't try it even if someone paid for it.

 

[Mrs Sowester]

If she thinks it helped her then it helped her for whatever reason.

Subjectively, possibly. Objectively, nah.

I accept people get better from illnesses while taking homeopathic medicine, people also get better from illnesses while taking no medicine at all.

If it works then where does the effect go when you try and measure it in a properly controlled trial ?

 

[TiredSam]

OK @brenda, you pay for it, if it works I'll pay you back.

But if you try it and it doesn't work, why should brenda pay for something that's your fault?

Same here. I had multiple issues and it didn't help for any of them.

So tap water is the most powerful homeopathic medicine around.

I'm currently reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman (yes I know, I've been on it for ages ...).

Probably as long as me. I have been currently reading it for years.

This all just got way too Freudian for me

Guess who my money was on to read it that way?

Guess who my money was on to read it that way?

... your mother?

 

[Mrs Sowester]

But if you try it and it doesn't work, why should brenda pay for something that's your fault?

And it will be all my own fault when it doesn't work because there will always be something stopping my body from healing.
At the moment it is probably laughter.
Too much giggling is no doubt blocking my natural healing abilities. Or my chakras are misaligned due to my total inability to take this topic seriously.
If I could just suspend my disbelief and stop chortling for a moment I too could heal and defy the aging process.

No joke: My German mother just brought me homeopathic pills already dissolved in water, while I was reading this thread. And she used to be a Biology and Chemistry teacher.

Sorry guys! I'm on the dark side now.

 

[Mrs Sowester]

Aww, glad we're both laughing @brenda

The horror!

Try it and see.

I went the homeopathic route. A total waste of money.
