I can't stand homeopath blogs. I just can't, especially when they post complete and utter crap.
Much to the dismay of many people cured by homeopathy around the world, a recent wave of strong opinion held by a very few asserts that homeopathy is not scientific, or, at the very least, is ”bad science”.Where's the proof that these people were actually cured by homeopathy?
Unfortunately those writing blogs claiming that Homeopathy is bad science have a very closed view of what science truly is and what the future of science may look like.So in the future, diluting everything to one part whatever to 10^60 parts water will be considered science. "...what science truly is..." That's rich, coming from someone who is not actually a scientist.
Much of their postulating is borne out of fear. Fear of what they do not understand, and fear of a perceived threat to the scientific status quo from which they derive security.
Oh help me, help me, I'm scared of this great thing called homeopathy!
Hence, they vehemently attack a form of health care that has profoundly helped thousands of people all over the world.As I said - WHERE'S THE F*CKING PROOF!?!
These recent attacks on homeopathy rely heavily on misunderstanding and selective misinformation. The constant cry is that homeopathic remedies are placebo and can therefore do nothing. When homeopaths assert that remedies work on animals and therefore cannot be the placebo effect, they blame the biased observer. Tell that to my sister who was able to cure her entire herd of sheep sick with highly contagious pinkeye with the use of a homeopathic remedy."Selective misinformation"? Meh. Oh, and we have talking animals that report on their symptoms now?
Not only is it clear that homeopathic treatment was successful, but the “Bad Science” author admits the harm conventional medicine was doing. In this day and age of prescription drug therapy which is rife with harmful, even leathal side affects, can we really say conventional medicine is any better than it was in 1854? Remember the Hippocratic oath: “first do no harm”.Give me an example of this horrible new medicine thing. Thalidomide? Another example. Oh, you don't know any others? Didn't think so.
Our understanding of the true science of our universe is very limited. To think that we can prove something is real and true with our limited, parochial understanding undermines our quest for scientific knowledge. Homeopathy is frontier medicine. Because it works it shows us we are lacking in true understanding of how the universe works.Prove it works.
That the current system of scientific verification labels homeopathy’s demonstrated efficacy as “placebo” only underscores how absurdly faulty and inadequate this verification system is.WTF?! The system should say that everything works? The plural of anecdote should be data?
Instead of denying homeopathy works and limiting our choices and possiblities we should embrace this knowledge and let it take us forward to open new possibilites.Like what? A world where no treatments are proven, and things just magically work? I see some really nice possibilities there.
Oops, my sarcasm detector is beeping.
