This comment was CENSORED on 4.3.11 at the Huffington Post below a truly terrible article titled "Homeopathy For Radiation Poisoning" at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-ullman/homeopathy-for-radiation-poisioning_b_842664.htm
This article is misleading and potentiall
I am all for homeopathy that works but its treatment in this article doesn't pass the simplest sniff test and should never have been approved for HuffPo. Anyone serious about protecting themselves from radiation should avail themselves of the best that modern science can offer, and avoid quackery like this from the 1800's. My book Antinuclea

Imagine a letter to the editor declaring the absurdity of a device which allegedly can carry the human voice through the air and even send text messages. That might be published in 1865, but not in 2011. Same here. In order to rebut homeopathy you must have some knowledge of it beyond the usual rumor mill.
ReplyDeleteYou should first of all understand that cell phones work because they have a physical basis for doing so and because that physical basis is well enough understood in current knowledge for people to design, build, and operate them. Wouldn't it be great if you could actually nail down homeopathy to something approaching the same specs? Something actually scientific? It's difficult although I understand there have been a few studies showing that homeopathy might have some benefits and I am open minded on the topic if you want to show properly controlled studies achieving statistical significance and explain how that statistical signifcance is not simply reflecting another placebo effect which also produces significant benefits in controlled studies. Because the fundamental principle of hyperdilution you treat as sacrosanct and inviolate doesn't really make sense from a physical perspective except to produce a placebo. If there are instances where homeopathy actually works it ought to be demonstrably better than the placebo control in proper studies. If this is the knowledge you have that is "beyond the usual rumor mill" why don't you share it and make believers based on real science? You see a lot of the problem with homeopathy is how so many people treat it as an article of faith that must be supported like virgin birth or climate denial. I only want to believe in what's real, and skip any magical thinking altogether. Wouldn't you?
ReplyDeleteYou're really too far behind the learning curve to have this argument. There are homeopathy clinics and hospitals all over the world, curing everything from influenza to cancer. I know, you never heard of that. That seems to be the problem. There's a whole world you don't know ab out.much you
