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.
Nah, I'm not defending homeopathics. I have been a long time advocate for natural medicine, but you need to have an actually adequate dosage of any medicine for it to have effects.
If that were true we would not have psychosomatic illnesses, psychic healing, faith healing, bed side manor and a desire to live in the patient would be irrelevant, and placebo effect unknown. You have failed to grasp the essence of it.
The placebo effect works 30% of the time on people who know it's placebo. I need some actual evidence. At least with HCQ and Ivermectin we HAVE evidence.
Are you serious?! Have you seen the recipe for Hydroxychloriquine? The main ingredient is boiled down grapefruit peel. Could you get anymore natural?
Who do you expect to have paid for the study?
Are there studies that show that it doesn't work?
It's not worth engaging in a polemic that demands proving minutia that ends up being different for every individual. It's an impossible feat. Every synthetic drug is a boilerplate dosage that hundreds, if not thousands are harmed by. It's obvious that every individual has a very unique immune system is built with unique experiences, genetics, and more. This is something Allopathic medicine never understands. It does do purposely for the reason I stated above. However, using boilerplate dosages helps Big Pharma's bottom line. God tells us we are all unique. To treat us like we are all the same like that of herd animals is dehumanizing and contrary to Nature. The pharmaceutical industry uses a Bell curve analysis in their studies. It use to be less than a 1% adverse reaction 'tail' for a passing grade for approval. Now, it must be 95% or less. You are absolutely correct though. In bio-medical academics, even Immunologists will admit they know less than 1% of how the human immune system works. This in itself is very telling of how insane it is taking any vax☠xine. More than 99% is unknown to the short term and long term adverse reactions.
Don't be a moron. Somehow they managed to come out with plenty of studies in support of hydoxychloroquine and ivermectin despite being fought by the establishment tooth and nail. So, why can't homeopathic medicine do the same?
Because it doesn't fucking work.
Homeopathic Nux Vomica for women suffering from morning sickness, works, and can be taken as often as necessary. Of course, no remedies are offered by mainstream doctors after the Thalidomide debacle, and women are told to eat dry crackers, or sweet tea. Awesome, if everything comes straight back up.
Why would one deny such a simple remedy? If you think they are not effective than do go ahead and try something else (hint: you can't). But for someone gripped with morning sickness, a few drops can offer relief, and that is greatly appreciated by a sufffering and newly pregnant woman, even if she has to sit there gripping a little bottle. Psychosomatic? Whatever.
Just seek out healing herbs and foraging books.
I'd agree here, but:
The FDA's role here is the question. Homeopathic preparations are just water. So long as they're done in clean conditions, there is no harm. FDA's job there is to ensure the shops are clean and that they're not getting bacteria or fungal contaminants.
It is true the FDA also arbitrates efficacy. However, numerous types of healing with no demonstrable benefit are legal in this country. You can stick needles in your body, get massages, get a shaman to wave a stick over you and chant. All of that is safe and legal. Is it effective? Probably no more effective than a placebo (placebo effect), but the FDA doesn't ban it.
If we're going to start banning homeopathy, it needs to be consistent across the board, and it needs to be done as an act of Congress, not an arbitrary declaration from Pfizer's cronies using the FDA to clear out the competition.
Why?
