The most expensive sugar pills money can buy
At the recent McGill conference, Confronting Pseudo-science, A
Call to Action, James Randi of the James Randi Educational
Foundation began his presentation by downing an entire bottle of
homeopathic sleeping pills. He then continued his presentation
without so much as a yawn, despite the supposed effects of
dozens of pills floating through his body. This anticlimactic
demonstration raises the question: what exactly was in those
sleeping pills?
Homeopathy for Depression - study protocol
The study aims to assess the two components of individualized
homeopathic treatment for acute depression, i.e ., to
investigate the specific effect of individualized Q-potencies
versus placebo and to investigate the effect of different
approaches to the homeopathic case history.
Short Temper? There's a Homeopathic Remedy for That
Traditional medicine focuses on treating physical symptoms. So
does homeopathy. There are conventional medications available
for emotional ailments such as depression and anxiety: again,
homeopathy treats these ailments too. You wont, however, find a
conventional med that gives you relief from flaring tempers.
Homeopathy is unique in that it claims to treat with orally
administered medication moods and emotional conditions that
traditional medicine considers to be out of its jurisdiction.
Why won't homeopathy skeptics drink their own medicine?
It's really quite hilarious to see this unfold: Homeopathy
skeptics and vicious Big Pharma attack dogs are running around
the globe in ludicrous demonstrations where they consume huge
doses of homeopathic remedies in public and then claim that
because they don't die of an "overdose," these medicines
therefore don't work. Notice that they never consume their own
medicines in large doses? Chemotherapy? Statin drugs? Blood
thinners? They wouldn't dare drink those.
Effect of Homeopathic Arnica montana on Bruising in Face-lifts
No subjective differences were noted between the treatment group
and the control group, either by the patients or by the
professional staff. No objective difference in the degree of
color change was found. Patients receiving homeopathic A montana
were found to have a smaller area of ecchymosis on postoperative
days 1, 5, 7, and 10.
Indian medicine doctors can practise allopathy
The police cannot interfere with doctors qualified to practice
Siddha or Ayurveda or Homeopathy or Unani, when they prescribed
allopathy treatment, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court
has ruled again.
Homeopath rejected as expert
The Advertising Standards Authority has declined to accept a
homeopath's submission as expert testimony in a dispute over an
ad for a so-called "natural" nerve tonic.
Snake Oil on the Shelves: Homeopathy�s Misleading Claims Under Fire
This past Saturday, people around the world staged an event in
which popular homeopathic remedies were taken in 'overdose'
quantities. Everyone survived, even though handfuls and entire
bottles of pills were swallowed in one sitting, well over the
recommended dosage. The international protest proved its point:
with homeopathic drugs, there's nothing in them.
An Alternative to Big Pharm: A Mental Health Journey With Classical Homeopathy
Most people are aware of homeopathy's use with physical illness.
But few know the extraordinary usefulness it has in mental
health. Even homeopaths with years of experience underestimate
what it can do. Recently I met a homeopath who was quite
well-respected. When I told her I was a psychotherapist, she
said with a combination of empathy and pity, "Oh, you have to
deal with all those mentals ." Of course, she meant the
symptoms, not the patients.
Homeopathy saves show jumper from tendon surgery
At this point Liz was unsure of the next step so decided to
contact homeopathic vet Nick Thompson to see if he had any
suggestions. Nick immediately came over to assess Todd and
prepared a homeopathic medicine which included high potency
Sulphur and low potency Silica.
Arnica Not Just for Weekend Warriors
Tom Vannah's article on arnica illustrates the pitfalls of
writing on any subject where one doesn't understand the concepts
or theory. There is a vast difference between homeopathic arnica
and herbal arnicaas between any homeopathic remedy and its
sourceyet Vannah constantly confuses the two.
Quackery at the Science Museum
The Museum has seen fit to present what is, not just in our view
but also that of some high profile science communicators and
many on Twitter, a rather dubious account of some of alternative
medicine practices that are still around today.
Fears grow for city homeopathic hospital
The future of Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital has been cast into
doubt, with some NHS bosses refusing to send patients there.
Homeopathic meds protested during �mass overdose�
Tim Nelms said "goodbye, cruel world," just before he and other
members of the West Virginia Skeptics group took an overdose of
homeopathic medicine at the Blue Moose Cafe Saturday night. The
event was part of the "10:23 Campaign," a protest movement that
began in England in response to outdated homeopathic medicines
being covered by the national heath care system.
James Randi's challenge and the search for science in homeopathy
James Randi launched a bold challenge Saturday that aims to
debunk so-called homeopathic drugs. The fraud-busting magician
even offered $1 million to any manufacturer who could prove they
work as directed.
