Fear of homeopathy

Catching up with posting online my articles because of being busy with work. I am witting my articles every day as part of my commitment... just posting is lagging...


For those who don't know what homeopathy is, I am placing here a definition taken from Wikipedia.com

Homeopathy ...is a system of alternative medicine originated in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his doctrine of similia similibus curentur ("like cures like"), according to which a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people will cure similar symptoms in sick people. It is widely considered a pseudoscience.

Hahnemann believed that the underlying causes of disease were phenomena that he termed miasms, and that homeopathic remedies addressed these. The remedies are prepared by repeatedly diluting a chosen substance in alcohol or distilled water, followed by forceful striking on an elastic body, called succussion. Each dilution followed by succussion is said to increase the remedy's potency. Dilution usually continues well past the point where none of the original substance remains.

Scientific research has repeatedly found homeopathic remedies ineffective and their postulated mechanisms of action implausible. The scientific community regards homeopathy as a sham; the American Medical Association considers homeopathy to be quackery, and homeopathic remedies have been criticized as unethical.

There are many discussions about the homeopathy and there are many jokes about it ( you can find it on Youtube, internet etc. ). And the base of the jokes is that the remedy is being prepared - as it is stated in the definition above - by repeatedly diluting a certain substance within the water. Thus from the scientific and logical point of view there is practically no substance left ( after this extreme diluting ) inside of the water, which could effectively deal with the pathogens, bacterias etc. or have any effect whatsoever on the body and the healing by adjusting the chemical balance of the body.

But within this there is one point which is contradictory. If there is no substance within the remedy which could be in any way possible effective in treating the sickness and pathogens within the body then why there are so many people within the group who makes the jokes and is against homeopathy who are extremely afraid of taking it ? If there is nothing in it then why would they be afraid of it ?

And it would be also worth to mention the stand of the catholic religion towards homeopathy. In the official letter from the Vatican there is nothing wrong with taking homeopathic remedies as long as the patient doesn't reject the traditional medicine ( especially in the severe cases like cancer etc. ). But still I have met a priest who is afraid of it as if that was a poison prepared by the devil himself. And I know that there are many more priests and the Christians who have a very similar approach to it despite of the official statement of the pope. They are paranoid about it. And again... how could it be that they are so afraid of it if there is nothing left of the substance inside of the water. Secondly the substance which is taken and diluted within the water is taken from the earth ( e.g sulfur, onion, iron phosphate etc. ). And thirdly the remedy is prepared by a person who doesn't have horns.

Here are just these two points which I wanted to share with you and bring on today. Later in the future I will write another article about my personal experiences about it.
