What I can't understand is how homeopaths sleep at night.
They must be aware that homeopathy is complete nonsense surely? And if they are unaware, then what on earth are these morons doing promoting and dispensing 'remedies' that can have no beneficial effect over and above the effect of a placebo?
Ummmm's post was interesting in that it highlighted a common misconception that many people have about herbal medicines and homeopathy. Many 'herbal' medicines are highly effective and have real, repeatable, provable, effects on the human body. However, just because herbal and homeopathy happen to begin with the same letter of the alphabet and sound somewhat similar does not mean they are one and same thing. To make that mistake could be potentially lethal.
Samuel Hahnemann was a well meaning fool. But a fool none the less.
