I'm wondering what you people think about homeopathic treatment. In some cases, studies have shown it's BS and others have shown that they helped. For me, I think some of them help. I personally use this homeopathic cream for itching and it works wonders (whether it is a placebo effect or not, idk). The process of homeopathic medicine is in principal the use of natural remedies that are diluted into minute quantities. It is believed by some that the healing energies of remedy are preserved in the solution (I don't believe this).

So, what are your opinions?

Bullshit! Been proven before, by Richard Dawkins and other scientific enthusiasts. Basically homeopathy is based off of the idea that the more you dillute something with water the more effective it becomes, check out the ratio of actual chemicals to water "original substance dissolved in a minimum of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of water. This would require a container more than 30,000,000,000 times the size of the Earth."

That is the same as literally one part of medicine vs all of the molecules in the universe, that is how diluted an useless homeopathy is, you're basically drinking water! LOL

Homeopathy isn't an instant fix, and its more of a preventative medicinal science. I have no idea what Jazz guy is talking about, but personally I've seen it work for me -- and its a slow process, but in the end will do you good. The medicines we have today are a quick, and very temporary fix -- there are also tons of ugly side effects that are harmful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkgb5UaTdAY I know its a you tube link, but why don't you look at the statement in the first 1.25 min you hear this "The more you dilute a substance the more effective you make the original substance", how fucking retarded is that? The more I dilute morphine when your arm gets chopped off the more effective it is? Smells like bullshit to me.

Did you just use the word science and homeopathy in the same sentence /epic fail.

i have to agree with this.

the more you dilute a substance the more effective you make the original substance is such a fucking retarded statement i cant even begin on it.

basicaly how does water amplify it? if they could explain that i wouldnt think of them as total retarded hacks.
