If it poses any threat to the mainstream narrative, the FDA and Big Pharma want it shut down. Years ago I attended some lectures on the subject, but I stopped going because it sounded too much like Hogwarts. The dilution factors often exceeded Avogadro's number, and it was hard to understand (or at least validate) its therapeutic efficacy. Like acupuncture, it's been around a long time, and there seems to be virtually no harm in trying these agents. The fact the FDA wants to ban them automatically makes me wonder if there is more to them than originally thought.
Homeopathic medicine is being banned because it's ineffective. I have never seen any evidence whatsoever from a properly conducted placebo-controlled clinical trial that shows any homeopathic treatment works. If you have a study, I'd love to see it, but I haven't yet.
If you understand how it works, what they do is assess the character of your symptoms. They get described and then matched with a plant, herb, tree bark, etc that supposedly bears similar character. It's an exceedingly long list of things to memorize. This works for this. That works for that, and it's based on the experience of the homeopath.
In order to produce their "medicines," they mash up the plants then extract them into water. They do what is called strikes, where they forcefully pull the solution down, as if you're swinging a hammer down, but with a vial in your hand. This is supposed to concentrate the medicinal elements in some way before rediluting the product. Numerically, you reduce the actual content of the plant chemicals to some meaninglessly small number. In case cases, the dilution actually exceeds Avagadro's number, meaning there is no chance that even a single molecule of the plant is left in the solution. It's just water. Quite literally.
Now, there is some truth to the placebo effect. The mind is indeed powerful and if it wants to heal, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that simple force of will can improve health outcomes. This may be how they operate.
As far as the FDA is concerned, they've always prioritized safety over efficacy. Water is safe. FDA limits the claims homeopaths can make as to efficacy on the packages of their products, but if there's no harm, they've allowed people who believe in these products to use them. This should continue. A ban on such products should be something the Congress decides, not something the FDA does unilaterally. Again, there's no harm as long as they meet FDA inspections. It's just water.
The FDA is not interested in doing any studies with natural remedies. They are a for-profit organization. Utilizing things that we have been using for millions of years already that is free hurts their bottom line.
That's not a good excuse. We have studies on HCQ and Ivermectin for C19 even though FDA blocked it at every turn.
Try harder.
Glad to see someone else here actually knows some real science.
Too many reactionary anti-sheep are quick to jump on literally anything just because they want to do the opposite of what the FDA does. Yes, we know the FDA is corrupt, that doesn't mean homeopathy works worth a damn.
If it was effective you'd be able to cite me some actual studies to show that it works.
You know, like you can with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.
If you can't show me at least the same level of proof that we have for hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, then stop wasting our time.
I KEEP NOTICING ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DOWNVOTE ME WHEN I SAY THIS CANT PROVIDE ME ANY FUCKING EVIDENCE.
LESS DOWNVOTING MORE EVIDENCE, YOU HACKS.
