how do you feel about homeopathic remedies?

Answer 1

They are certainly effective. If you do not believe in it, test it for yourself. It wouldn't harm you anyway. There are plenty of websites and discussion forums about homeopathy. Check out http://www.curekeys.com/homeo_faq.htm . This is just one of the information oriented sites.

Answer 3

Homeopathy has been proven ineffective time and time again. The AMA has performed definitive clinical trials testing the claims of these 'remedies' and found they work no better than placebos. The real problem with homeopathy isn't using them for the sniffles, or headaches, but when homeopathy makes claims that it can treat serious disease. When a person eschews effective medical treatment of a serious disease for homeopathy they lose precious time needed to halt the course of such a disease and this puts their life in serious danger. When someone uses homepathy to 'cure' their treatable cancer, they waste time and the cancer progresses past the treatable stage and the person dies. Homeopathy and other alternative modalities are a major threat to the health and well-being of our species.

Answer 4

They are very effective. They operate on the theory that "less, is more."
Meaning, a tiny amount of homeopathic medicine, stimulates the immune system of the body, strengthening it and reducing symptoms.

Answer 5

Not only do they not work - they can't work, there's nothing there to work. The ingredients are diluted down so far, you're lucky if you get a single atom of the stuff.

Of course, if this doesn't convince you, then you might get some placebo effect - the thing working because you think it will.

And natural can be deadly - try drinking hemlock if you disagree.

Answer 6

I used to take them when I was a kid. You can't eat mint or the effect will go away. I think they work, or at least they help... plus, it's natural, so you can't go wrong there.
