Janic wrote, and that's go again! The subject has already been seen again and again and showing that:
a) the placebo effect is similar in allopathy and homeopathy, allopathy gold is not questioned so far: why?
Because beyond mere placebo effect, non-homeopathic medicines have an effect specific measured prerequisite to their marketing.
This is only partly true because this measure is essentially a measure of toxicity. It's like measuring the impact of a hammer blow on the finger and then administer a painkiller. The appearance becomes a hammer accompanied by pain will measure the effectiveness of pain, not the safety of toxic components of pain regardless of the biological effects of the coup itself.
To recap, for those who still do not know, a drug is supposed to be effective, and therefore obtain its marketing authorization, when the product benefits exceed, as little as it is, theoretically the disadvantages mentioned in the side effects it will have, also treat with other meds with their own side effects; and we see these old swallow dozens of pills self canceling (theoretically) or worsening in almost total ignorance of the possible negative synergistic effects.
So homeopathy (which can be ineffective, too, when it does not correspond to the signs that indicate the sick) has at least the advantage of an unrecognized toxicity.
Or ecology, among other things, aims to reduce not only external pollution (including effects become internally by various diseases), but also internal directly or through a healthier environment, but also a way of food and possibly care, non-polluting and also, at least, homeopathy is that major criterion.
That said the cited article does not say stupid things, some points raised are unfortunately real like homeo vaccines that are an illusion which is the counterpart of the classical vaccination as illusory or taking pills H. allopathy way which does not correspond to homeopathic principles, etc ... but these are deviations that are hurting in this type of care, but not enough to deter patients and caregivers increasingly using it ( among other so-called natural modes of care)
