What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is bunk. There was a demonstation a few years ago by a group of skeptics. They took homeopathic amounts of Cyanide, Arsenic, Hemlock, etc.

Did the skeptics die? Nope. The dilution of these chemicals is so great as to have absolutely no effect at all.

Below are links to explain the "other side" of homeopathy. Source(s): http://skepdic.com/homeo.html

My experience with a homeopath practitioner was stupid. He said he was Christian. He gave us minute doses of herbs suspended in water. He said that the lower the concentration, the better it worked. He said it in a way that made sense when I was young and stupid. When he said that he would send a "projection" to my sick child, I knew he was a new-age voodo practitioner and dropped him like a hot potato. He was a peddler of expensive water. He came recommended by friends.

Its founder, Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1775?-1843), believed that all illnesses develop from only three sources: syphilis, venereal warts, and what he called 鈥渢he itch.鈥?br /> The motto of homeopathy is 鈥淪imilia similibus curantur鈥?(鈥淟ike cures like鈥?. It claims that doses of substances that produce certain symptoms will relieve those symptoms; however, the 鈥渄oses鈥?are extremely attenuated solutions or mixtures, so attenuated that not a single molecule of the original substance remains. In fact, the homeopathic corrective is actually pure water, nothing more. The theory is that the vibrations or 鈥渆ffect鈥?of the diluted-out substance are still present and work on the patient.

I believed in it until I read about a whole bunch of people drinking homeopathic solutions of poison and not getting sick.

Homeopathy is a gentle yet effective form of treatment for many conditions, illnesses, and diseases. It is holistic in nature, which means that in determining treatment the whole person is considered as well as the specific problem or illness. The medicines, or remedies, used in homepathy are minute doses of natural substances, which have been taken from plants, animals, or minerals.
Homepathic remedies allow the body to heal itself, without any of the harmful effects that can come from the use of conventional drugs. It also has a long-term benefit in that you raise your level of health generally, thus making you less susceptible to diseases in the future.
