thank you! someone who's not a complete moron

No, it's water and sugar pills. The basic premise of homeopathy is scientifically invalid. It simply cannot work.

Why would you base your whole opinion on one article you found in a journal? Homeopathy actually eliminates the disease/infection/pain/etc. instead of just covering it up temporarily with drugs just to have it reappear again (and you'll have to buy even MORE drugs and the cycle continues). It requires time for it to completely work and causes aggreviation when you first begin using it, but after about a week or two your symptoms begin to completely disappear. How do I know this? I've been using homeopathy my whole life and my sister is studying to become a homeopath. If you don't believe me there are many books about how homeopathy works. Try "The Science of Homeopathy" by George Vithoulkas. I'm sure you'll see what I mean. tl;dr- that was a pretty close-minded comment you wrote and you shouldn't think you know all about homeopathy from one article you read. Homeopathy actually does work.

127 - Anecdotal evidence is valid! I once used anecdotal evidence in an argument, and it later turned out that I was right!

One article? Could you quote for me the place where I said that was the only article I'd read on the subject? Just drag your cursor over it, hit CTRL-C, then click the reply box and hit CTRL-V. Go ahead. And while you're filling in the box, perhaps you could go back and answer my two questions that you dodged (I.E.: Why it didn't work in an experiment where there were actually other people on hand to cry foul if it was done poorly, and what peer-reviews have done experiments in which homeopathy was efficacious) The difference between books and peer-reviewed studies is that the world of scientific peer-review is a shark tank in which scores of competing research institutes fighting over grants, contracts, and publicity have every incentive to watch each other vigilantly for mistakes. On the other hand, you can write a book about literally anything. I could write a book about how my front yard is made of chocolate. Who has incentive, or opportunity, to tell me I'm wrong?

"The Science of Homeopathy" - I actually laughed out loud at that title.

It's like Christianity and Hindu in that it's equally BS.

Except you can't experimentally disprove a god, but you can experimentally disprove (inasmuch as one can prove a negative, anyway) BS medicine.
