The dangers of homeopathy and food alternatives

So have you personally experienced?

Yes

interesting and therefore it did not work, as in allopathy for that matter!
A famous homeopath made this remark that when the patients have been disappointed by conventional medicine and that they turn to these so-called alternative medicines, they await the miracle which did not occur in allopathic medicine and therefore they cannot bear any failure, but there is inevitably everywhere.

and my personal experience has, like yours and that of thousands of "believers", no scientific value.

Totally agree ! But a patient is not interested in the scientific side (generally he doesn't give a damn) but in the practical and effective side to solve HIS problem, all medicines combined. So, I repeat, if all living things had waited for scientific confirmation that they could breathe, there would be no one to testify.

As for your suggestion regarding psychotropic drugs, if it is obvious that they often have harmful side effects; it is also true for quantities of molecules, starting with paracetamol, should it therefore be prohibited?

It is not a question of prohibiting but of rationing as accurately as possible. Like in England where you are only given the number of pills prescribed, not one more. In France, not only can we have drugs normally delivered on prescription easily (it is enough to know a pharmacist not very attentive), but moreover, one does “his menu” and the doctor prescribes more often according to the wishes of the patient. Shameful, dangerous, costly.

This is not what you said:

I tell the public authorities to stop reimbursing molecules (ex: certain psychotropic drugs) which we know (and there, it is validated) which do not work but which make you even sicker when they do not kill you outright

In principle, the public authorities stop reimbursing medicines that are not enough or not effective (like homeopathy) and prohibit those deemed dangerous.
And so I should have said "should we de-reimburse paracetamol?"

It seems to me to be a somewhat expeditious trial for the doctors, in any case on a personal basis I have never known a doctor to whom I dictated my prescription!

Me neither and it's happy.

I do, and many.

I do, and many.

And what were you asking them?

Me nothing.

Okay, so you don't know ..... You've heard of it ...
