Why does homeopathy fail scientific tests?

Moderator adds: Though off topic, the post is approved as a link. Ayurveda too

has patient specific herbal combinations depending on dosha status. Ayurveda

may have to face scientific tests and would show similar performance if standard

medicines are taken by patients suffering from " standard " diseases.

Dear Jagannath and all,

 

Homeopathy does not fail tests. Homeopathy has, historically,

surpassed conventional medicine in the treatment of epidemic and

pandemic diseases, it surpasses conventional medicine in the treatment

of acute diseases and it surpasses in the treatment of chronic

diseases (the conventional-medicine-labeled " incurable " degenerative

diseases such as asthma, hypertension, diabetes, eczema and so-on)

 

The only reason you haven't heard about it is simply that the

documentation has been suppressed by the media which is under the

thumbscrews of BigPharma and the medical community that views its

profession under threat. That's sad, since many in the homeopathic

community would wish for a more comprehensinve and all-inclusive

approach health care.

 

There's plenty of research done out there, and its available to any

serious reader or investigator.

 

Its a false argument and idea to say that no one will research it

because " it doesn't work " - BigPharma companies research many many

many things that " don't work " (after all, what billions of $$ has been

spent in so-called Cancer research for the last 40+ years yet no

effective conventional drug yet has been found?). So if detractors are

so interested to definitively prove homeopathy doesn't work, then let

them please give some money for proper research and that'll put an end

to the question. By refusing to research it and at the same time shout

" it doesn't work " is not the way to close an argument. Let money be

given for research, and then you can say accordingly " it works or it

doesn't work " . However vested interests aren't looking to do that,

because they know homeopathy will prove a viable and legitimate medicine.

 

With Regards,

Didi

has its own definition of disease states.
