Even if it’s just a very good placebo, it’s been proven to work with me.

I do not believe, I know it works, it worked on a dog I had when conventional medicine failed and saved its life. How the fuck do you convince a dog about the placebo effect?

Do I use it my self?
No, conventional medicine haven’t failed on me yet, and it is a money Question.

Cause we could see clearly the progress and it came back it did it again. Conventional medicine had 9 months and that dog got worse and worse. We was at the vetrinarian university. In the end they said it was nothing to do…. But then i heard radio program about the issue so we gave it last shot with vetrinarian that use both conventional and alternative medicine. The progress started at week 2. That vetrinarian is used by the most high class stables with top racing horses. So as I stated I do not believe I know it is working. But as in normal medicine, something is good for some while it do jack shit for others…..as for acute infections I still go for penicillin.

don’t think being near positive is particularly relevant. Basically it’s a tiny tiny tiny amount of onion skin diluted thousands of time by water, and the more you dilute, the stronger it gets. Or so they say. Now that sounds like BS to me but when I was a kid, and as an adult, despite being sceptical of the theory, it’s always worked for me.

My grandad is a fully trained homeopath and he’s not the kinda person who would do something unless he 100% knew it was the case (he’s noramly way more sinicle even then you extraslim!). I allways used to get given homeopathic medicen when I was younger and rarely got ill … this could of been for many diferant reasons tho.

If it does work then I can imagin it not working for everyone as people react diferantly to things. Some people might be sensative and react to this kind of treatment .. some may not and may need some stronger form of medication.

Homeopathy isn’t so much a cure for illnesses – more a way of stimulating the body to fight it for it’s self. This is I think the common missconception alot of people have with it and why alot of people are like “This will never heal me” … because in alot of cases they are right. YOU heal you … the homeopathic medicen will help your body do the best job it can – and you can’t say that the body doesn’t allready heal it’s self as we know it does.

It’s suposed to work kinda like a vacsine … a tiny little bit of something that causes a certain reaction in the body will help the body learn to deal with something that makes you ill in said way – and again we know vacsines work and on this exact same princible

Also don’t confuse homeopathy with herbal remadies – they are two diferant things .. herbal remadies are suposed to directly heal the aylement.

Alltho test’s can’t prove it works well on a grand scale and it’s has roughly the same sucsess rate as the placebo effect, I recon it does work for some people (as the tests are showing), even if this is just the placebo effect (Which is essentualy what homeopathy is trying to achive … tricking the body into healing it’s self/ feeling better).

How can placebos make a difference when it comes to stuff like cancer?

The placebo is a massive mystery to medical science, but it’s an objective scientific phenomenon, it works 30% of the time. The more severe the condition the less likely to work it is, but it’s real and measurable, it can even work with cancer, the probability is just less. Mind over matter I think, but that’s not very scientific.
