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.
Nope. Homeopathic means treating a condition with an almost undetectable amount of a substance, which if given in a larger dose would cause the condition.
In other words, people are claiming that a practically undetectable amount of something can affect your health.
There is no logical way that could do anything, outside of the placebo effect.
You have missed the essence of it as well. A proper preparation needs have no original substance. In fact, best practice is to stop dilution when original substance is no longer detectable. The memory left in the water carries the morphic resonance of the substance only. The desired effect is to trigger a "sympathetic harmonic resonance" in the auric, then physical body.
BS.
Utter BS.
Bulls don't have utters...could be cow shit.
Cows don't have "utters" either. So?
Tiotropium bromide in spiriva was only around 0.0008% of the formulation of a dry power inhaler and that dose was effective for people with COPD in providing instant relief. Such a dilute amount of something can still be very effective
Homeopathic is much lower amounts. Perhaps more like tossing one tiny salt crystal in a swimming pool of water.
Sounds pretty silly to me then, I make tinctures from herbs (spearmint, thyme, rosemary, sage for clearing congestion, turmeric, ginger, black pepper for inflammation) and I feel like the more i take of them the more relief I get
Because they do work
That's what logic would say. Homeopathic doses are so low, you might get one molecule in a dose. Or maybe not. It's a way for a nutjob to take 10 cents worth of medicine and make a million dollars from it. It's a scam, even if the person believes it works.
So, does that mean treating with a minuscule amount of a pharmaceutical drug?
You need to look up how they actually make this stuff. The point is to dilute out any trace of the original substance. With an allopathic medicine, you can take the dose, put it into a mass spectrometer and detect the medicine. With a homeopathic preparation, you're supposed to only retain the "essence" of the source plant.
If you do the math, they do enough serial dilutions in some cases to achieve dilutions higher than Avogadro's number. That means the solution is so diluted, there is not a single molecule of source material left in the water. It's quite literally just water.
No. Miniscule is huge compared to the amounts in homeopathic medicine. There might be one molecule in a dose. You've heard of chicken soup that tasted like they just waved the chicken over the pot?
