  • Homeopathy is a way of treating the patient not the disease. The way it work is totally impossible to explain with conventional science.
  • If this is all placebo effect, then how it works on infants.
  • @Tordeques
    The sad thing is that a video like this will only ever be seen by people who already don't believe in homeopathy. People who believe in bs like this will never take actual information to heart.
  • The placebo effect and the careful consultation and interest shown in the patient by the practitioner are probably of great help.
  • Millions swears by it because it WORKS. To know, just TRY and ignore the noise.
  • @dobr4481
    The enduring popularity of organised religion tells us that people can be very easily persuaded to believe in anything.
  • I have used Homeopathic medicine for 50 years and it has always worked very well for me. However Homeopathic medicine has a protocol that has to be followed, such as do not take with Caffeine or Mint or other things like strong oils, which can cancel it. I looked up Homeopathic medicine on Wikipedia and they say it is a Pseudo-Science, but then I am very much aware of some of the errors published on Wikipedia. I am a Metallurgist, Precious Metal Refiner and Assayer and I know my Elements very well and when I looked up info on Fe 60 on Wikipedia, it was easy for me to see many errors published by them. I wonder if they also do this in areas where I am not as knowledgeable??

    And... the professor of pharmacology lights up a pipe. Case closed! 😂
  • @smaa7492
    Homeopathy is a holistic approach, Pharmacology prof smoking in a clinical debate, The channel should remove him from discussion
  • The old man ridiculing Homeopathy is smoking Lol. I am having hysterical fits Lol.
  • @andreymor4299
    I had continuous nightmares. A homeopath gave me those sucrose pellets which I thought won't work. In 2 days, nightmares are completely gone.
  • @yaz7652
    oh my God... that guy likes to shock people after giving them a placebo... weird!
  • That medicine is not placebo but that mixing in alcohol direct a part of crude and that acting slowlly on nerves system the body resistance system acting against
  • Drop a paracetamol in a bath of water, take a cup of that water and add it to another bath full of water. Do that 48 more times and you get Homeopathy.
  • homeopathy works for me, my family,.my friends and my pets. you think whatever you want about it.
  • @Ahsan105
    One point to make after 5 years when we know the all scientist who believes that antidepressants works but they agreed now that they don’t understand the mechanisms and how they works. So we have cases in modern medicine like homeopathy. But the question is despite the fact we don’t know how homeopathy works but do they really work? The reaserch about that is not sufficient. So we should be more open minded.
  • Ok till the time no proper explanation comes in support of Homeopathy...... We homoeopaths are still the best placebo therapists....now counter this. 😎
