As another has already said the amount of hydric acid they put in substances used in "homeopathy" is simply unacceptable. If you can be right about one thing please let it be to stay away from this horrible chemical.

I've take homeopathy once when I was young to alleviate my incurable bronchitis. It had good taste at least. Spoiler alert: my incurable bronchitis remained with me for 8 more years and was finally cured when my mom quit smoking.

A verdade é que funciona, mas não exatamente pra doenças físicas. Gringo tem noção praticamente nula disso, homeopatia costuma ser interessante pra problemas emocionais.

This is by FAR the most patiently I've heard this explained. Without once being even remotely condescending. I'm kind of in awe. You're certainly better explainers than I am!
It never occurred to me that a reason for homeopathy taking off could be that at a time when the available medicine might be just as likely to kill you as cure you, the homeopathic remedy itself is never going to be more harmful than sugar.
I grew up with homeopathy. Any time I was sick, my mom would open up this huge book about homeopathy and researched what about my symptoms. Also, when the illness didn't go away or wasn't clear she talked about consulting with an expert on the topic. After learning about the actual process of how globuli is made it took a while for me to accept that it's all just placebo - even though I normally tend to question everything I'm being told. Just goes to show how strong some belief can become ingrained if that's what you grew up with.
then you're not the child your Mother is proud of .. shame
@@MurphyTheOldMan How's that a shame?
Doctors ask you even minute questions to know your sypmptoms better,as homeopathy works on symptoms,If the symptoms match the medicine ,the treatment is sure,,If does not match the symptom,no treatment. That is the reason they ask you several question just for correct medicine selection. It is not to have any time pass with you,, you believe in Allopath statement about Homeopathy,that is Placebo. Have research then have any opinion, first action of Homeopathy is Placebo which is brain control,,it does not rest on Placebo only,,further it proceeds to the other functions in order to cure the disease.Hope you 7nderstand
Its not placebo, it works, energy imprint on molecules.
@@thornyturtleranch6152i believe thats true
One of the best examples of the transferable placebo effect I observed in my psychology class was the case of a horse that could supposedly do math. By accident, I suppose they mentioned a math problem around a horse that then stamped its foot the number of times that equaled the answer. Obviously they were super excited and kept trying, and the horse kept getting it right. But the horse simply would keep stamping until the owners got visibly excited, at which point he stopped and was rewarded. The only math equation this horse knew was “stomp foot, get treats.”
Why don't you reach or watch the other side too. This is one sided. Homeopathy is a science too, based on real evidences. Goes through similar tests for approval like any other drug. And being a user, it works.

My mom had a plastic pill case that held a lot of tiny bottles of homeopathy pellets and would give them to me when I was feeling pain or discomfort. I didn’t really believe they were medicine even at that time, but the act of her giving me the homeopathy showed that my mom cared and sympathized for me and I think that made me feel better mentally.
Thankfully my mom only used homeopathy for minor stuff like stomach aches or growing pains and took me to the doctor for more serious ailments, so I only have fond memories of homeopathy.
my mom had the exact same kit
That's an excellent example of the placebo effect. Really. No sarcasm. And children are excellent candidates for placebo effect treatments given how little ability they have to distinguish a minor ailment from a major injury.
Same with me, except that my mom was the doctor itself, so she had an entire collection of medicines.
Shit that's lovely 😢 wish I had a mom like that when ever I get sick she says it's cause of that damn phone😅
When I was a kid, my mom often used homeopathy for my colds, and it worked well for most. But she never denied actual medication from me when needed, if I got very sick.

Oh, I hate homeopathy with burning passion. I once got a staphilococcus that kept spreading as my dear mother kept tugging me around healers and fed sugar pills. It got to the point of my eyes welding shut with pus every morning and having actual troubles eating because my lips were crusted with pus and skinless underneath - and I'm pretty sure like half of my mental illnesses come from that experience. Thank god and that one cat for inventing antibiotics and thank my grandma for taking me to an actual doctor. The infection was subdued in like a week after a month of unchecked spreading. Anyways, if I see another homeopathy affictionado I will start swinging - these hands held trust and respect at some point, maybe the trace amounts will be felt.

Well I had PCOS and it got cured with homeopathic medicines. It took some time but it worked.
@@lego7315 mostly likely cured by lifestyle changes and food eating habits which is the only cure for PCOS
This video beautifully expresses my thoughts on homeopathy and the problem with modern medicine. As a doctor, I see how patients are treated as numbers and not people. Homeopathy is a scam but it addressess the need people have to be listened to and validated. Every day I have patients tell me how they feel better after simply talking to me. Unfortunately that is becoming more and more rare in "modern medicine" where you're lucky to see a PA or nurse practitioner, much less a doctor.
I feel exactly the same, and it really is unfortunate because there's too many patients.

@@villager1831 That's even better.
Had bronchitis for 6 years. Took homoeopathic medicine for 1 year and I'd get better during a particular season and then had attack again. It got cured this year when I moved away from Delhi. Turns out it was pollen and pollution causing it. Took me a while to realise the entire situation. Turns out the belief that "I can get better" does wonders. As I'm sure it did in 1800s for people when proven remedies were non existent
In Organon of medicine it's written that the physician should also focus on the cause of disease and he should remove that cause. In your case pollen and bad quality of air was the cause of your bronchitis.
The simple point of Hahnemann was that why we drug a person if he can be cured by removing the exciting cause of the disease. If you would have went to an allopath then he would have prescribed you anti allergy, anti inflammatory and medicines which can dilate your bronchi. So removing the exciting cause is better than making your body a dump ground of medicine.
@@aude.sapere What if you remove all causes and the problem still exists?
How frequently did you get bronchitis?
It's very similar for me. I used to get asthma randomly throughout the year, but after continuing homeopathy for like 2 years, and after COVID, it's only got restricted to only the late autumn to early winter days. For the remaining I'm completely fine no backlashes👍
"My doctor prescribed me these cigarettes for my asthma but I still have dyspnea"
I’m not a fan of homeopathy, but I agree on using homemade/natural solutions for *minor* problems, like milk and honey for a throat ache, or a bit of hot soup and rest for a fever (obviously if it’s only 37-38 C). A fundamental part of it is not to be excessively worried or stressed because of something like a runny nose.
Everyone likes to believe in home remedies untill is an actually serious disease.
That's Ayurveda basically... On the other hand, Homeopathy is a scam !
That is fine, has nothing to do with homopeopathy though
Milk, honey and soup have active ingredients. Or should I say - they have ingredients.
that’s naturopathy
Sugar water can't cure cancer? Well not with that attitude buddy...

Of course sugar can cure and even prevent cancer! Proof: everyone in my family has a massive sweet tooth, and not one of us has cancer. Check mate, big pharma!!111!
Modern medicine can cure cancer( early stages) my motherhad cancer and she is well and good now.
Rebellum1 Don't you assume that you're just lucky? 😁 Template thinking...
Sarcasm is a major component of today's speech. It is now at a rise. Also sugar causes cancer. Due to the way sucrose is broken down and it feeds cancerous cells. Oncogenes do exist. ATP synthesis is valuable. But causes lots of issues too. There is reason we consume Antooxidatens.
Not directing the info at you madam but at the other guy. If he thinks sugar isn't that bad for you. Or if he knows then hurray. More knowledge for everyone

One thing I absolutely love about these videos are there is always a beautiful and meaningful message at the end of the video.
Homeopathy is useful for this: when a doctor or a pharmacist recommend it, you instantly get to know how much they understand about science.
that's untrue
don't you know scientists are just normal people having their own beliefs? about anything, which isn't scientifically proven
And this doesn't make them magically lose all their knowledge

Antivaxx... What I find funny is that if you show a scientist proof that he is wrong, he'll analyse it and change his mind. However proving antivaxx/homeopathy fans they're wrong simply reinforces their beliefs
@@charans6873 The whole concept of vaccination is to put viral molecules or parts of molecular structures into the body so the immune system can learn to recognize the virus before the infection. It doesn't get any closer to 'like' than this. Heck, in some cases it is the inert virus itself what they use as antigene. Lol.
@@Zenedoboz i know all this already.. lol
You need to study first.. like in homoeopathy is the SYMPTOM. healthy human body not having any symptom cannot be considered as like.

"Faith can move mountains,
but sugar water can't cure cancer"
Truth.
Now I have a craving for chocolate donuts.
Sad but true...
Except it probably can, if you have faith in the sugar water. Working at an alternative practice, the amount of times I've heard of cancers, disorders, and diagnosed diseases that were "obviously not real, since you're better now" from peoples GP is absurd.
I'm not saying homeopathy/water directly cures or helps anything beyond hydration. What I'm saying is, homeopathics fit a niche that provides actual help to people. It is not a cold remedy. I have seen patients who have been through several chemo plans w/o help, and come back from a vision quest healthy. The positives that come with a positive outlook are undeniable, and plentiful.
u will see in next few years cancer will not gonna b so big its a scam on vast level a lot of money associate in this business
Considering your grammar I can tell you're very intelligent and know what you're talking about.
I grew up with Homeopathy, whether it was placebo or something else, I recall one instance of having a cold, all the symptoms. Our doctor gave me something and within seconds, it all disappeared. Never had it work like that before or after that one time. It was magical. All that being said, I swear by Nux Vomica, works wonders for anything related to the digestive system. Nausea, heartburn, upset stomach, diarrhoea, constipation, winds. Well, its always worked for me.
Sounds like a wonder. And is therefore completely worthless.
What an extraordinary video, for everyone's understanding!Great job👍
ah yes, diluting things makes them more potent. I remember that lesson in chemistry class. It came right after the one about how snorting thermite and then igniting it will give you super strength.

That’s how you become Iron Man, right?
original homeopathy be like "okay, so you need to listen to a set of rules that basically is a very healthy lifestyle, but here's a pill which cures you and totally not the diet."
I'm still not certain whether it's about having a very healthy lifestyle (because stuff like not napping or sitting is a bit weird), or about creating an essentially impossible to obey instruction, which you can then use as defense when the medicine didn't work, because it's almost certain they made at least one 'mistake' somewhere.
Honestly, the second version is way better. It forces less stress on the patient.
Reading that sentence makes you realize how hard it is to change a person’s behavior for health.
Reading that sentence makes you evaluate the health care’s efforts to change patient behavior. One comes to the conclusion that doctors haven’t yet mastered this art.
After you closely read your conclusion, you realize how similar to the one in the video.
@@Alblaka That is probably the key. Set up extremely strict rules that, if followed, could give the result that you can then attribute to your fake pills. Then if your fake pills don't work, blame the victim for their own failure to follow your rules.

I love the manner in which you approached this topic. It would be so easy to say something like "Homeopathy is dumb and doesn't work", yet you looked at it with pure facts and considered the pros and cons in a fairly neutral manner.
Some members of my family swear by this 'natural cure-all spray' (which I'm almost certain is just tap water), but since the placebo effect of the spray actually helps them, I avoid saying anything about it.
However, what's to stop people from re-selling Tic-Tacs and claiming them as anti-cancer pills? There's definitely a 'snake-oil salesman' aspect to this movement which I cannot respect. It's not difficult to profit from the ignorant.

The use of homeopathy basically comes down to placebo effect, which I feel is often unjustly made fun of. It is a potent effect and a tribute to the powers of the human mind. It is not just making yourself believe that some medicine you're taking is effective, but has much greater implications.
There has been a study done on the placebo effect that researched, how patients with headaches respond to aspirin or placebo. Pretty standard procedure, but the researchers went a step further. Instead of leaving the patients doubting whether they got the medicine, they actively told the patients that they were getting a placebo. What is amazing to me is that even though the patients knew they were ingesting an aspirin-free pill, their headaches got better comparable to them not knowing whether they got the placebo or the real deal.
Truly astounding with lots of implications for modern therapy.
I had sinusitis and my nose used to be blocked every day ,i wasnt able to live without nasal sprays , after taking homeopathy since then i forgot about my nasal congestion, it worked like magic .

@@prernabharti1658 go to an actual doc
Had eczema on the toes and scalp for 8 years. Got fed up with it from year 3, but couldn't do anything because i was a kid. The homeopathic doctor kept telling that it has a tendency to bounce back. I had a miserable school life because of this disease. Eczema on the scalp meant no social life as i was embarrassed to the ground. I couldn't eat many things because the fu@king doctor advised against them, like curd, limes, tamarinds, onions and what not. Got out of home in 11th class. Visited the best University hospital in the city. Was Cured in 3 months. 9 years on today, it hasn't bounced back.
Very sorry to hear about the miserable time you had when younger. I know how much eczema can degrade quality of life. I'm glad to know that with appropriate treatment you got so much better.
Getting out of home cured you. Not the big hospital. Bet you didn't go back home. Thats why you're still cured 9 years on.

Sugar water has actually cured cancer... Placebo effect, check at the spontanious remission database... Inform yourself
@@agctony123 Many of us know what the placebo effect is , but I am not sure about the part when you said "cured cancer". The person no longer had cancer without doing chemoterapy ? Doctors use the placebo effect example when the person has a severe head ache but he/she has no real disease,they will convince him/her that they will give him a very strong medicine which will cure his head ache but instead it's just a sugar tablet . We had a neighbor who said that their cancer was cured because of some "miraculous plant" who was believing in all this homeopathic bs,saying that he never did and chemoterapy .He kept bragging about this on the internet etc. but died next month (I don't know the person but my parents do and told me about this).
No no no, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
As a homeopathic doctor, what my mother always says is "homeopathy is the medicine for patients, not for diseases" which is why she talks for hours with her patients knowing "them" not their "disease"❤
The best thing I read today
Yeah it takes communication skills to fool the patient, because homeopathy can't.
Then why this placebo effect doesn't through so-called modern medicine?
Most of the people turn to homoeopathy after being disappointed from many practitioners of so-called modern medicine and get cured. They had no beleif or faith in homoeopathy in the begining, so they tried allopathy again and again with trmendous faith.
If the faith is the cause of the placebo effect, then why it didn't occur during allopathy management?
Most of the people come to homoeopathy after being disappointed from any medicine and they have doubts in their mind. How this so-called placebo effect which didn't act earlier, not shows results?
To answer these questions, one needs common sense, which is not common in common people. Scoience without conscience is not only fruitless, but it may be dangerous too!

Potentization flies in the face of physics itself, a substance does not get stronger by diluting it and realistically you can dilute even the strongest of poisons and substances until they have no effects at all, not even in changing the color.
Yes, it's just a bizarre fantasy.
And the fantasy they present that the water has "memory", so it "remembers" that it once was in contact with a substance before it was diluted to zero.
Since water is in an never ending cycle, I guess it also "remembers" when it was in the sewers? 😱
I was raised with homeopathic remedies, and while I do now doubt their effect, I cannot ignore the fact that thanks to them I have healed serious injuries extremely fast and have even gotten over a scarlet fever with no antibiotics at all.

Homeopathy is so last-gen. I do Pizzapathy now.
Every time I have a headache, I eat a pizza tonno and about 1 to 20 hours later, my headaches are gone. Like they never existed. OK, sometimes my headaches get worse. That's how I know that the pizza is actually working, that's the so called initial worsening. But I just eat another pizza tonno and it usually gets better.
But you can't just eat pizza tonno, that depends on what pizza type you are. You should get a pizza type consultation done first, to make sure you take the right pizza. With a friend of mine, tonno doesn't work and he has to use cardinale.
Also, if a pizza doesn't work for some reason, it's not because the pizza isn't a cure for headaches, it probaby was not stored properly or the store you got it at interrupted the freezing chain. These things should definitely only be handled by professionals and not treated like it was just some foodstuff.
Those pizzas are made by a company here called "Dr. Oetker", as you can see in the name, it's been developed by a doctor. Still, therapeutic pizzas are still not covered by medical insurances because of a conspiracy by the pharma corporations who know that nobody would ever touch their expensive pills if people finally realized that all they have to do is eat tasty pizzas!
And don't you dare tell me it's just imagination and placebo effect. HE WHO CURES IS RIGHT!
(and yes, just in case... this is satire)
And don't forget, if you see studies proving pizza doesn't work, don't be fooled. Proof is subjective and about what you experience, not these thousands of not-you people being carefully observed by "impartial" shills 🙃 Your anecdotes about pizza are evidence and your body is the exception to whatever these "studies" say. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't opened their minds yet to how good alternatives like pizza can be. (Also satire ofc).
@@chocolizard678 Studies... in labs... no wonder that stuff doesn't work. Pizza has a memory and it remembers if you cook it in an oven that heated your petri dishes before!

I have been receiving homeopathic treatments at home.

My grandad had studied homeopathy, and practiced it just for close family. I don't know the science behind it but I have seen this sugar water cure extreme allergies which were going on for decades. From scalp infections to chronic urticaria, it could be placebo but as someone who had tried all medicines and given up hope and was forced by parents to try it, with absolutely 0 faith it in working out, it actually did help.
I want to study it in the future too, just to understand the sheer logic behind how it works. It might not replace modern medicine and it's possible that you might need the appendectomy more than sugar pills, but personally, whenever modern medicine raised its hands in defeat, this alternate medicine has worked wonders.
yes , it gave me a new life .
Yes it works wonders for some chronic diseases, the homeopathy doctor my father knows has Vitiligo, and it he self medicated and it took him 10 years of consistent use for his skin to return to normal. A friend of his who had the same issue tried homepathy for a couple months and then switched to allopathic medicine had it spread to all his body.
"Sugar water can't cure cancer", there's a whole hospital named "Homeopathic treatment for Cancer and other impossible diseases" at my locality lol. With such a posh setup. And the sad part is many a people go there instead of getting a proper treatment. 😢

Faith can move mountains, but sugar water can’t cure cancer
The creator of Homeopathy created the rules that helped the patient more than the actual treatment itself.
The main reason homeopathy got a foothold in medicine. The guy who made up that water has memory and will cure you, also forced their patients to have a minimum hygiene, stop consuming tobacco, alcohol and hard to digest foods, etc... No wonder so many of his patients would have improvements. They were also pretty hydrated.
And at the same time he had plenty of reasons/excuses if it didn't work. I mean, who is able to follow all of those rules? You can be pretty sure that, after a week, your patient will have broken at least one rule which means he can always say it didn't work because of this.
But Patient must be fool in the first place for it to work?
Stomach upsets , swellings in lymph nodes , etc . has been cured for me by homeopathy .
So I guess the perfect solution is -- homeopathy for mild disorders and original medicines for more severe cases .
I should protect my placebo at all costs
@@jujuman9431 Yeah, homeopathy cured my cold after only 1 week of treatment /s
I would really like to see something like this on astrology. I have a few friends who swear by it. Once I saw a girl at a party crying in the corner, when I asked if she was ok she told me that she had to break up with her boyfriend earlier because they had "incompatible zodiac signs".

If homeopathy was true I could pour one beer in a lake and throw one hell of a party
No way.. that would be far too many molecules of alcohol per glass :P.
What you need to do is take an eye dropper, put one drop on a surface, absorb 99% of it and let the rest fall into the lake. Then you can tell the dumbasses that you have homeopathic alcohol and you can drink all the actual beer yourself.
Alessandro Millo how are you going to shake the lake?
machinegun Earthquake.
it almost means you could cure your hangover by drinking more.
Appreciate your try, but you got it wrong. According to the "alike cures alike" principle, one drop of beer on a lake should get every drunk awake and sober. But still, not diluted enough and you could not shake the dillution properly.
The Healthcare industry in the US alone is over $800 Billion. $12 Billion isn't even 2% of $800 Billion. To consider these two industries conporable or to say they hold a similar amount of power is a pretty crazy take.

My parents had a good relation with a Homeopathy Doctor. I too liked him. Whenever I or my brother fell ill, my parents would take me to him.

Now my father doesn't trust Homeopathy anymore cuz they were not able to cure his disease for months. My father's condition worsen as the months passed and he got himself admitted to a Hospital. He is fine now.

Yea but it wouldnt be fraud if people learned it themselves

What if such a highly valued placebo helps people get better who would otherwise have gotten worse and died or stayed in great pain and suffering for the rest of their life?
A lot of people run to the doctor as soon as they get a cold or flu for which the doctor prescribes antibiotics which do nothing to cure the cold and in the long run may hurt you. Every time someone takes an antibiotic the less effective it will become later on and breeds super bugs. Giving the patient a placebo just to shut them up is a better option.
Vry nice... Bahut sundar
I have been taking it since my childhood, It has always worked for me.
The proper way to pay a homeopathic practitioner: Take a coin, put it in water, take a drop of that, and give it to them
remember to stir the water so that the molecules can absorb its essence. in fact, banks will be in ruins once the public obtains this knowledge. however, why are 'they' still controlling everything in our lives? it's because the world is ruled by satan & aliens are our only hope to save humanity. with their help, we can rediscover ancient technologies like healing crysta

That is not and has never been the purpose of a placebo win in a test. The placebo wing is there to account for biases and anomalous data.

Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I followed my family's homeopathic beliefs to treat my ailments. Over time, my health got to the point where I almost died. Finally woke up and decided I needed to see one of those evil doctors. They treated me, put me on medications, performed surgeries, and I started getting better to the point I could wake up without feeling like I had been run over by a truck, and have energy to get me through the day
How did they diagnose you? I also feel like I've been run over by a truck every morning, but my doctor said my blood sugar level is not indicative of Type 2 diabetes.

While I agree with modern medicine not fulfilling the "human touch" aspect of care. Just spending time with a patient helps you better diagnose their problems. My personal experience with doctors has not only been a lack of "human touch" and being viewed a bag to pull money out of but also by being viewed as a bag of money I didn't received accurate care that actually solved my health problems. So that time also translates to quality of care.
