''You ignored it. It doesn't matter what the evidence shows, you are not going to run around shouting it out from the rooftops. You don't like the evidence, so you ignored it.''What you fail to grasp are aberrations and problems with methodology. It takes more than a study or two to establish the efficacy of a therapy or treatment.
It takes careful and rigorous replication of results by independent researchers to eliminate flaws and biases.
You are not willing to consider the possibility of error because you have an emotional investment in woo, chi power, non material magic.
Homeopathy could work in principle because it is sort of based on inoculation, a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people may be used cure similar symptoms in sick people, building immunity, etc.
The problem lies in dilution. If the active substance is diluted to the point where there is hardly any effective compound left to act....by what mechanism can it work? Magic? Chi?
Homeopathy has not been shown to be effective in human trials. If it is not effective in human trials, how can it be effective in plant experiments? You have a contradiction.
1,800 Studies Later, Scientists Conclude Homeopathy Doesn’t WorkPerhaps you remember when scientists debunked homeopathy in
2002. Or
2010. Or
2014. But now
a major Australian study analyzing over 1,800 papers has shown that homeopathy, the alternative treatment that relies on
super-diluted substances and the principle of
“like cures like” is completely ineffective.
After assessing more than 1,800 studies on homeopathy, Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council was only able to find 225 that were rigorous enough to analyze. And
a systematic review of these studies revealed “no good quality evidence to support the claim that homeopathy is effective in treating health conditions.”
