Dispelling the myths of homeopathy | Dr. Shantanu Abhyankar | TEDxPICT

Every child in school needs to be taught statistics and critical thinking.

I don't understand all the hate the speaker is getting in the comments. He explained that medicine should be prompted by thought and reason and then described some of the inconsistencies of reason in homeopathy. I can not see how this offends any practitioner of homeopathy. If one believes that a particular homeopathic medicine cures a disease all one needs to do is conduct a controlled experiment and publish the results. This would systematically prove the homeopathy dissenters wrong.

It would be great if TEDx Talks had captions available on their videos. With 21m subscribers & their dedication to sharing the spoken word, it would totally be worth it. Sometimes I want to clarify a long or technical word I’ve never heard.

Man,people hate to know the truth if it contradicts their views.

In 2017 NHS England said it would no longer fund homeopathy on the NHS as the lack of any evidence for its effectiveness did not justify the cost. This was backed by a High Court judgement in 2018.

Even in the end, he did not try to end his talk with a punchline. But rather a rational statement. Very nicely done ✅

I was having skin tags near my eyes and an injury mark on my hand. I took homeopathic medicine and my skin tags really disappeared and the injury marks on my hands too. It took me around 2 months I think. Modern medicine was telling me about costly laser surgery but homeopathic worked. I challenge any of the modern medicine doctors to tell me how did homeopathy work. I even didn't believe in homeopathy at that time and it worked.

It is more important to have knowledge about the disease and the effects of medicine, every doctor must know the limitations and effects of his system,also referring the patients on time is equally important I've seen mbbs and bhms doctors who refer the patient according to need of the patient's ailment either PCOS, stones or other systemic illness ,they refer the patients, without any ego homeopaths refer if surgery is important, similarly allopaths refer patients to homeopaths. Coexistence ❤

I love that he is holding a wireless computer mouse to change is slides. And the audio is clipping a lot. This is the most under funded TED video I have seen.

I love how the retaliations are aggressive but still with no evidence.

I'm really sorry to say Dr shantanu.... You haven't studied well.... So you took the easy way of prescribing an antibiotic a pain killer an antacid and a multivitamin for any and everything that comes to you.... All the best... God bless you

My grandmother got some stress and anxiety issue and i take her to a allopathic dr neurologist and he prescribed medication Only for three weeks maximum or five weeks she feels better but after that she get worse than before her anxiety increase more and more Two years of allopathic medicine no changes but now i stopped giving her allopathy medicine now she feels better . Please share your thoughts on this guys 🙏❤️

I like that his criticism doesn't seem to include ego. He even gave credit where credit was due (pointing out modern medical practices that were derived from traditional medicine).

I sustained injury in my thumb nail and it was very painful. Consulted a number of orthopedics...did a lot of tests including CT scan...took all medicines and injections as prescribed by the orthopedics from time to time but the pain never subsided. At last a friend suggested me to consult a homeopathic doctor who gave me some homeo pills. I took the pills for only seven days and my finger pain had gone away completely and till date there is no pain in my finger. I also did not believe in homeopathy...but I experienced the result and thus just sharing my experience... .

My brother was advised surgery for tonsillitis by at least two allopathic as a 6 year old after seeing much sickness due to it. He underwent Homeo treatment and was cured in a month or two. He is 36 now and never had an issue with his tonsils or ENT again. On the contrary people who underwent the surgery went on to have many complications.

Why can't homoeopathic medicines be put through the same tests like allopathy medicines?

Everyone's organism works different. What doesn't work for one might work for the other. In case of an emergency I'm heading the the ER. For all other issues prefer to seek a holistic practitioner.

Homeopathy works may be you should rethink and indulge yourself into the practice to understand it has always worked for me .

Three big problems. 1)people are not consious about health 2) a small percentage of good doctors are overloaded.cannot give enough time to patients 3)people like polarization.Instead take the best and leave the rest. We dont need lot of doctors but right doctors who are good in diagnosis. special test must be designed to filter the right person and allowed to become a doctor

But there are pubmed studies that show how over half of women on homeopathy reduced pcos and got rid of cysts in ovaries
