Homeopathy - Doubting it is just “ignorance”

I'm always amazed at what uninformed people can post on the internet (I thought I'd seen it all), either to express their own frustrations and problems or simply to seek attention that they wouldn't otherwise get through their own competence in some area. However, I choose to speak out when an uninformed statement can harm someone, by trying to convince them to believe what they shouldn't or to discredit something that could be useful.

The flaws it presents, for your reflection:

Pickpocketing, Deception, Fraud, “Suckers”: Don't you also think that when someone resorts to gratuitous insults and aggression, it's because they've essentially lost their mind and therefore resort to violence?

Are there only tangible effects if there are molecules to cause them? Electricity and magnetism are examples of effects caused without molecules actually being involved in the whole process. Have you ever heard of quantum physics? Therefore, it is a lack of study to claim that something diluted does not cause tangible effects in the human organism; there is also a lack of study to understand that many homeopathic preparations contain diluted matter. Does God have molecules? We don't know, but we're all sure that he exists and his “effects” are there to prove it: only those who don't want to can't see it and don't accept it.

Taking large quantities of homeopathic remedies without experiencing any effectsGroups of “know-it-alls” can even take large quantities of homeopathic remedies and “experience no symptoms”, but there are some questions about this:

• Homeopathy works with susceptibility: each human being is more or less susceptible to a few hundred homeopathic medicines and practically insensitive to most of the others. So what are the chances of groups experiencing exactly what they are sensitive to?

• Some effects can be subtle or easy to hideHow can you trust someone who wants to prove that something “doesn't work” to admit it if they can “hide” it?

• Would they report the effects that can occur hours, days and even weeks afterwards, or would they hide it so as not to “lose their minds”?

Have reliable homeopathic medicines been used? Who can guarantee that the medicines used in the many “tests” weren't magnetically neutralized beforehand? We all know that if homeopathic medicines are exposed to large magnetic fields or very strong smells, even for a short time, their effect can be completely neutralized.

Brazilian Medical Association and Federal Council of Medicine: When both of these official institutions endorse Homeopathy as an effective and scientifically recognized medical practice, as does the Brazilian government and hundreds of other governments around the world, are they all wrong and endorsing quackery? I'm sure not. In fact, it would be interesting if skeptics formally questioned these entities and published the answers as widely as they do with their irresponsible videos and texts, so that we can all see and debate them. How about that? I look forward to it.

And what about the tens of millions of patients with positive effects, in Brazil and around the world? Would they have been improved and even cured through something like a “worldwide placebo effect”? Certainly not. The truth is that well-done homeopathy really does work, undeniably.

Scientific evidence: Can any skeptic dispute all this evidence, including several published in internationally renowned journals, and here, for example? http://www.homeozulian.med.br/ (Read the Scientific Literature section). I look forward to talking to you once everything has been read and “scientifically challenged”.

* Since everyone shows the education and background they have, and I'm sure both are abundant in what I do in the office, I've based my words on this, as above.

** I respect everyone's opinion, as long as it's well-founded and well expressed, especially when it's about something I believe in and practice.

*** My advice to anyone who produces videos or texts like the one above: study before you give your opinion and avoid hurting others! And seek good therapy and God's support to deal with all this anguish, anger or pent-up dissatisfaction... Otherwise, you could end up with serious health problems!
