  1. Yes! This is precisely what I was thinking to, although you said it more concisely. Many of the things they showed in the video as being homeopathy, like plain water, don't even quality as homeopathy since they have no effect. How can "like cure like" if there is no effect? That's why I was so confused that he showed actual research stating that homeopathy is not an effective cancer treatment. Like WTF I would hope not since that would mean it would have to cause cancer. It sounds like homeopathy is two things. 1. just water or something super diluted to the point of having no effect. 2. Something that does have an effect which is used to treat symptoms resembling that same effect.

  2.  @Silent33091  I mean this is technically the idea of vaccination. Tiny amounts of a virus triggers your immune system to make antibodies. Its just that this idea doesn't work in any other context since other contexts don't utilize the immune systems functions.

  4. how could anyone mix up vaccines and homeopathy? (I didn't really know what homeopathy was until this video) Homeopathy sounds ridiculous, why would anybody think taking a plant that causes diarrhea help with diarrhea?!! In order for something to be a homeopathic sleep aid, wouldn't it have to actually help you sleep? Or would it have to keep you awake? Either way it would have to have some known effect to be considered homeopathic. On that note, I like those calmforte things for sleep, it similar to melatonin or those sleepy teas in that it just subtly calms you down (even if placebo effect is involved) but anyone buying any of that shit and thinking that it's going to knock them out is just retarded. The whole reason you need a prescription for some drugs is because they work better. (and are patentable) Plus, if one's insomnia was at the level of needing tranquilizers, one would quite quickly discover that melatonin and tea are not going to help. lol

  5. Also, how would homeopathy be used to treat cancer? wouldn't that mean it would have to give you cancer? Why would anyone study something that causes cancer as a cancer treatment? Who is funding this shit? I hope it's not the taxpayers.

  6. I think using "homeopathy" as an umbrella for any plant that isn't currently used by modern medicine is quite unfair. There are definitely plants out there that have medicinal value that are not recommended by the medical authorities. Take weed for example. Or mushrooms. There is way too little research on mushrooms compared to how many types of mushrooms there are. Besides, you have to take into account how much money can be made by using patentable plant extracts. If you can't patent something then big pharma has no use for it but that doesn't necessarily mean it is useless.
