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
