Re: [H] Did homeopathy kill Steve Jobs, founder of Apple

Dear Shannon,

As you very well know, homoeopaths' objections to the polypharmacy and
other nonsense you promote as forms of homoeopthy are based on nothing
whatever to do with sixth-edition methods or any particular
recommendations; they are based on the meaning of homoeopathy itself.

As you also very well know, no homoeopath has yet given any basis at all
for objection to the definition of homoeopathy that has been understood by
everybody for two centuries. Variously expressed in various places, that
definition is nevertheless simple, comprehensible, clear, and unambiguous.
It has been expressed in many ways merely in the many discussions you have
provoked on the topic whenever you have suggested that homoeopathy's
meaning has extended to incorporate its opposite.

Here's one phrasing of the definition, which I challenge anybody to argue
is incorrect:

*use of a medicinal substance known to be capable of causing in the healthy
the symptoms of the illness that it is being used to treat*.

Kind regards,

John
