La homeopatía está viva y coleando, y está prosperando en otros lugares. Una práctica de salud sin fundamento científico y evidencia clínica poco convincente que es utilizada por millones de personas en todo el mundo equivale a una burla de la medicina basada en la evidencia.
La homeopatía es una práctica que trata la enfermedad con pequeñas dosis de sustancias, por lo general inexistentes, que en grandes cantidades causarían la misma afección que se está tratando. Se usa principalmente para atacar afecciones autolimitadas que van desde el resfriado común hasta alergias, insomnio, distensiones musculares, náuseas y similares, pero de manera alarmante también se promueve para afecciones graves como enfermedades cardíacas y cáncer.
Hahnemann
La homeopatía tiene sus raíces en Alemania con el trabajo del médico Samuel Hahnemann a fines del siglo XVIII. El país ha adoptado esta práctica desde sus inicios y la ha apoyado a lo largo de los años. Los nazis, por ejemplo, intentaron demostrar que la homeopatía funcionaba y los funcionarios del gobierno de la posguerra continúan apoyando su uso. En el año 2013, los alemanes gastaron casi 500 millones de euros en remedios homeopáticos.
Una entidad, llamada Red de Información sobre Homeopatía, surgió de una reunión celebrada a principios de este año desde Alemania, la propia cuna de la homeopatía, en Friburgo para encontrar formas de contrarrestar la gran cantidad de información errónea sobre la homeopatía. Un descargo de responsabilidad: este grupo no está financiado por compañías farmacéuticas. De hecho, no tiene financiación: los miembros donan su tiempo y pagan sus propios gastos.
¿Por qué hacer esto ahora? Porque la evidencia en contra de la homeopatía nunca ha sido más incontrovertible. Una evaluación exhaustiva reciente de los ensayos de homeopatía realizada por el Consejo Nacional de Investigación Médica y de Salud de Australia mostró que era eficaz para cero de 68 enfermedades. Una revisión similar en el Reino Unido también mostró que la homeopatía no funciona y recomendó que el Servicio Nacional de Salud deje de financiar su uso. Ha llegado el momento de mejorar la asistencia sanitaria relegando la homeopatía a los libros de historia.
Uno de los primeros frutos de la red es la Declaración de Friburgo sobre Homeopatía (Freiburger Erklärung zur Homöopathie). Dice esto:
La homeopatía no es una medicina. La homeopatía es un sistema de creencias que sobrevive obstinadamente, no un enfoque científico de la curación. No se puede aceptar como parte de la naturopatía o la medicina. La homeopatía no debe recibir un estatus especial. Durante más de 200 años de existencia, la homeopatía no ha logrado demostrar que funcione mejor que el placebo. En el sistema sanitario alemán, sobrevive porque no se requiere una prueba objetiva de la efectividad de los tratamientos homeopáticos, algo que se requiere para los medicamentos recetados. Debe reconocerse el autoengaño por parte de pacientes y terapeutas. Los tratamientos homeopáticos pueden aliviar los síntomas y tener otros efectos terapéuticos. Pero no son atribuibles a remedios hechos por dilución y superdilución. En cambio, cualquier efectividad se deriva del efecto placebo y de las interacciones humanas entre el paciente y el terapeuta. Es probable que muchos médicos y pacientes que utilizan la homeopatía desconozcan la existencia y el poder de la sugestión, la autosugestión y el efecto placebo. Pero esto no cambia el hecho de que sus conclusiones sobre la homeopatía son incorrectas y pueden ser perjudiciales.
El método científico no puede explicarlo todo. Pero nos permite demostrar que la homeopatía no se puede explicar científicamente. Una creencia popular en las afirmaciones terapéuticas de la homeopatía alimentada por los políticos, los medios de comunicación y las empresas de terapias complementarias no debería ser la justificación para su uso como práctica médica.
La crítica de la Declaración de Friburgo a la homeopatía no está dirigida a los pacientes que utilizan este tratamiento complementario ni a los médicos que lo practican. En cambio, está dirigido a escuelas de homeopatía y organizaciones de atención de la salud que deberían haber reconocido hace mucho tiempo la naturaleza sin sentido de la homeopatía, pero han optado por no hacerlo. En pocas palabras, la Declaración de Friburgo pide a los actores de nuestro sistema de atención médica basado en la ciencia que rechacen la pseudociencia de la homeopatía y vuelvan a lo que debería ser evidente: promover una medicina de alta calidad científicamente validada, justa y generalmente reproducible que realmente beneficie a los pacientes.

There is no question that homeopathy, if it works at all, works either by the placebo effect or through spontaneous remission (i.e., many illnesses are self-limited regardless of treatment or the lack thereof). Of course, placebo effects can be powerful and can result in dramatic symptom relief. Some people feel that this alone can justify the use of homeopathy. The problems are several, however. First, placebos are not always effective. Second, there may well be a much more effective treatment available that would cure the patient more reliably and more quickly. Third, the patient’s illness may get worse while he or she is receiving the placebo. Fourth, there is the cost factor, which means, how much do you want to pay for a placebo, especially when it’s marketed, without supporting research, as being effective?
its all bs. Worlwide, a lot of not tested and no evidence-based “alternative medicines” are flooding the markets and the patients. I supossed that the failure in our communicative skills as physicians and also the poor response and capacity of our health systems are responsible for this change. However, it seems that no changes or solutions are expected in the near future.
homeopathic remedies are diluted to such an extent that there is unlikely to be a single molecule of the original substance remaining in the final remedy. In cases such as these, homeopathic remedies consist of nothing but water.
Homeopathy is really marvelous! Water does have memory!! No matter how many provings are done and no matter how much these people say they are backed up by pharmaceutical companies and their mafia. Countless day to day, minor or serious ailments get resolved by homeopathic remedies in millions of houses all over the world that too without any side effects or fear of losing immunity! If at all one remedy does not work for you, it simply means that it was not meant for your specific condition and another homeopathic remedy will do it. No need to fall for the defamation campaigns against homeopathy. They’re just threatened by its effectiveness and power to heal!
Water does not have memory. The fact that you think that it does shows that you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Where is the evidence for your claims that millions of people are being “cured” by homeopathic medicine?
Research has been done and the results are, that homeopathy does nothing. That’s the reason, why this hypothesis is not backed by the scientific community. Studies that claim to find effects, do not agree to have their tests supervised or repeated by outsiders. That is why their results are not accepted by the scientific community. Science is not about making money but about acquiring knowledge for the sake of acquiring knowledge.
Homeopathy is used in many countries such as Switzerland, Germany, and India, with success. Just because something doesn’t have modern scientific backing, doesn’t mean it does not work. So many drugs have “scientific” backing and yet cause all sorts of harm
Homeopathy is used in Germany but not with any sort of success. In fact, it is being ridiculed over here.
Causing harm has nothing to do with scientific backing. The backing comes from the fact, that the actual effects, positive and negative, can be tested, verified and reproduced.
Homeopathy may be used by many but it does not work except st the placebo level and cannot work because the very theory it is based on is flawed. Over 1000 clinical trials have proved this and yet people like you continue to claim it is effective! This is perverse! Either you profit from selling homeopathic products or you have a religious like faith in it despite all the proof that it cannot work. It is either sugar pills or plain water.
The point is “Caveat Emptor” so as to help people from wasting their money on snake oil nostrums that don’t work but do make lots of money for the purveyers who are able to con the uninformed.
I do know that the Faust’s Mephistopheles, asserts the homeopathic principle of similars: “To like things like, whatever one may ail; there’s certain help.” It woud seem that this statement shows a strong appreciation for homeopathy from Goethe.
A ver, los animales ven a su amo tranquilo y confiado y con eso ya se tranquilizan ellos también un poco. Y luego, se van curando ellos solos, porque la homeopatía sólo puede curar en esos casos: para dolencias tan leves que en cualquier caso se curarán ellas solas en poco tiempo dejándolas seguir su curso. Me alegra que hayan publicado un poco de sentido comun sbre este tema, porque artículos a favor de la homeopatía sólo los hay en las mismas revistas que dicen que las pirámides las construyeron extraterrestres y que a una mujer se le aparece un fantasma en la cocina si no prepara torta los domingos.
Como los remedios homeopáticos carecen de moléculas activas, es poco probable que cause efectos adversos graves. Sin embargo, Las personas que eligen la homeopatía pueden poner en riesgo su salud si rechazan o retardan los tratamientos para los que hay buena evidencia para la seguridad y la eficacia.
Sympathetic magic is an ancient idea that seems to occur in some form in almost every culture.When medieval Christians rejected the idea as a pagan superstition, herbalists reinvented as a sign from God (plants with shapes similar to parts of the body were showing a sign that they could heal that part).When people ceased to believe that, it was reinvented as homoeopathy.
The interesting part about these impressive arguments is that ‘homeopathy’ can be search-and-replaced by ‘acupuncture’ and they remain equally valid. I think I’ll stay with real medicine for the foreseeable future. I like my treatments to be useful, not only for the provider, but also for myself.
Nobody in her/his/its right mind is arguing that the pharmaceutical industry is entirely honest, but every time I hear that, I cringe. It should be obvious to anyone who can read and who has elementary school level education that the pharmaceutical industry is far more regulated than the snake oil industry. My point is, and has always been, that there should be a level playing field. X makes a health claim? X backs it up with relevant, verifiable and solid evidence. X can do that? X is allowed to go ahead. X makes a health claim? X backs it up with relevant, verifiable and solid evidence. X cannot do that? X is not allowed to go ahead. X goes ahead anyway? X is a criminal and must face the music. It does not matter who is deceptive. Deception should be a criminal offense for anyone. We are not talking about little white lies that make society run smooth. We are talking about lies that kill people. In my book, regardless of what the legal term is, it is murder. There may not be the intention to kill, but there is the intention to deceive in flagrant disregard of peoples’ health and life. That to me, is premeditated murder. Whether or not the pharma industry is made up of saints or crooks or both is irrelevant. Just because Bernie Madoff is a criminal does not mean your local wealth manager should be allowed to get away with his own deceptions.
… Once in high school I dated this boy, who’s mom gave me this odd “homeopathic medicine” called “oscillococcinum” or something like that when i had the flu. I remember it tasting exactly like sugar. I did some research on its own ingredients and sure enough, it was sugar. And supposedly mixed with a diluted drop of water that had duck liver in it but diluted to the point to where it had not one molecule of duck liver left, and this was supposed to cure the flu. But when I tried explaining this to the mom and my boyfriend I was treated with anger. That was in 2008 or so. Off course the relationship was over that same night. I remember watching James Randi and Reading quack watch articles on that type of “medicine”. Good times…
Según el homeópata y premio novel Ángel Minotti, un doctor especializado en homeopatía la homeopatia puede curar hasta el 90% de los casos que llegan a su consultorio. Simple.
La homepatia ha estado presente desde los siglos de los siglos.Estudios realizados en Angola y en Panama muestran que los médicos que integran la homeopatía en su práctica tienen mejores resultados que los que no lo hacen.

“그냥 시도해 보고 도움이 되는지 확인하십시오.”….. 그것은 정확히 한 번 의사(MD/PhD)가 관절염 관절에 대한 콘드로이틴 설페이트/글루코사민의 효과에 대해 질문한 환자에게 말한 것입니다. 의사는 환자에게 어떤 사람들은 이 보충제로 도움을 받았고 다른 사람들은 그렇지 않은 것 같았지만 알 수 있는 유일한 방법은 그것을 시도하는 것이라고 말했습니다. 그는 또한 환자에게 효과가 없다고 결정하기 전에 몇 가지 결과(4-6주, 그는 제안)를 보기 위해 충분히 오랫동안 시도하라고 경고했습니다. 그리고 IMO는 이러한 보충제를 복용하는 사람들이 보고한 긍정적인 결과가 광고된 대로의 작업 때문인지 또는 개인에 대한 플라시보 효과에서 비롯된 것인지 여부는 실제로 알려져 있지 않지만, 그 사람이 효과가 있다고 느끼는 한, 대부분의 경우 복용에 아무런 해가 없을 것입니다.
Any homeopathic nostrum made according to the principles of homeopathy contains nothing but water (or sometimes alcohol) or the same on perhaps a bit of sugar. Any beneficial effect is no better than placebo. If it made you feel worse it perhaps contained something other than water and was not truly homeopathic. The only difference between homeopathic products is the label. They all contain the same thing: water. There is no “art” to choosing one beyond convincing the user that what he is given is just what he needs.
Not looking for trouble but as someone who grew up believing in homeopathy and now realizes it doesn’t work i can for sure say that connection with the homeopath is what got me to believe it works. also, my parents were a big factor. and that they are antivax is also so true
My dad, as a kid, ate the whole stock of Homeopathy at a friend my grandparents were visiting. Had these been real medication and not sugar, he would have died.
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
En mi juventud durante el invierno frecuentemente ante el mas mínimo enfriamiento, tenia dolor de garganta y levantaba fiebre, por lo que durante varios días debía guardar cama. Luego de recorrer diferentes médicos tradicionales, sin éxito, llegué a un famoso homeópata de la localidad de Olivos, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, de apellido EIZAYAGA. Tomando los globulitos que él me recetara solucioné el problema y si bien en alguna oportunidad llegaba a tener dolor de garganta, este era sin fiebre corporal. Más adelante recurrí y así lo hago a la vacuna anual contra la gripe, dejando esa homeopatía de invierno de lado. Sabiendo todos sus principios y que los mismos no son comprobables, siempre me quedó la duda si todo no fue solo sugestión y efecto placebo. Interesante nota de Olivia Davis. Felicitaciones y gracias. Cordialmente CLAUDIO KUSSMAN
Uno de los mejores ejemplos del efecto placebo que observé en mi clase de psicología fue el caso de un caballo que supuestamente sabía matemáticas. Por accidente, supongo que mencionaron un problema de matemáticas en torno a un caballo que luego golpeó con el pie la cantidad de veces que igualaba la respuesta. Obviamente estaban súper emocionados y siguieron intentándolo, y el caballo siguió haciéndolo bien. Pero el caballo simplemente seguiría pateando hasta que los dueños se emocionaron hasta las lagrimas, momento en el que se detuvo y fue recompensado. La única ecuación matemática que conocía este caballo era “patear fuerte, conseguir golosinas”.
Porque no lees un poquito? La homeopatía también es una ciencia, basada en evidencias reales. Pasa por pruebas similares para su aprobación como cualquier otro medicamento.
I always try to understand both sides. Its fine if Homeopathy works for you. But on a scientific level I have to say you are wrong. I searched through alot of studies around Homepathy and after this, its simply a fact that science agrees on one thing: Homeopathy does not have an effect beyond placebo.
A veces creemos que es la homeopatia lo que hace efecto, cuando en realidad la enfermedad se va sola o los medicamentos de verdad son los que empezaron a hacer efecto.
Es mas seductor ir al peluquero que te cura la caida del lope con jugo de remolacha que ir al un especialista que te diga que cagaste, no hay solucion. Yte lo dice un pelado que intento todo, desde homeopatia , te verde, la clara de dos huevos, aceite de lo que quieras hasta jugo de cebolla (imaginate que no podia ni salir al balcon con ese olor en la cabeza) Ni caspa me crecia.
Va un señor al consultorio y le dice al medico
“doctor, se me cae el cabello,..”
el medico le dice que tiene un metodo infalible, pasar la zona afectada por los genitales femeninos, el señor levanta la vista y le dice al medico”
” pero usted esta pelado!!!”
este le contesta:
“So, pero mire los bigotes que tengo”

CommentIts jus BS
There is no question that homeopathy, if it works at all, works either by the placebo effect or through spontaneous remission (i.e., many illnesses are self-limited regardless of treatment or the lack thereof). Of course, placebo effects can be powerful and can result in dramatic symptom relief. Some people feel that this alone can justify the use of homeopathy. The problems are several, however. First, placebos are not always effective. Second, there may well be a much more effective treatment available that would cure the patient more reliably and more quickly. Third, the patient’s illness may get worse while he or she is receiving the placebo. Fourth, there is the cost factor, which means, how much do you want to pay for a placebo, especially when it’s marketed, without supporting research, as being effective?
Biggest scum ever
Homeopatia -largamente probado como seudociencia- continua dando redito a los chantas.
Si aunque sea fuera ron con azucar
Homeopathy is not an effective treatment for any health condition
its all bs. Worlwide, a lot of not tested and no evidence-based “alternative medicines” are flooding the markets and the patients. I supossed that the failure in our communicative skills as physicians and also the poor response and capacity of our health systems are responsible for this change. However, it seems that no changes or solutions are expected in the near future.

Where is the evidence for your claims that millions of people are being “cured” by homeopathic medicine?
Agua con azucar, si lo hago en casa es mas barato
El doctor Cureta no practicaba homeopatia…?
Research has been done and the results are, that homeopathy does nothing. That’s the reason, why this hypothesis is not backed by the scientific community. Studies that claim to find effects, do not agree to have their tests supervised or repeated by outsiders. That is why their results are not accepted by the scientific community.

Homeopathy is used in many countries such as Switzerland, Germany, and India, with success. Just because something doesn’t have modern scientific backing, doesn’t mean it does not work. So many drugs have “scientific” backing and yet cause all sorts of harm
Homeopathy is used in Germany but not with any sort of success. In fact, it is being ridiculed over here.
Causing harm has nothing to do with scientific backing. The backing comes from the fact, that the actual effects, positive and negative, can be tested, verified and reproduced.

The interesting part about these impressive arguments is that ‘homeopathy’ can be search-and-replaced by ‘acupuncture’ and they remain equally valid. I think I’ll stay with real medicine for the foreseeable future. I like my treatments to be useful, not only for the provider, but also for myself.
most people with a slight bit of sense do! even the royal family is rushed to a [conventional] hospital as soon as they are really ill.
Nobody in her/his/its right mind is arguing that the pharmaceutical industry is entirely honest, but every time I hear that, I cringe. It should be obvious to anyone who can read and who has elementary school level education that the pharmaceutical industry is far more regulated than the snake oil industry. My point is, and has always been, that there should be a level playing field. X makes a health claim? X backs it up with relevant, verifiable and solid evidence. X can do that? X is allowed to go ahead. X makes a health claim? X backs it up with relevant, verifiable and solid evidence. X cannot do that? X is not allowed to go ahead. X goes ahead anyway? X is a criminal and must face the music. It does not matter who is deceptive. Deception should be a criminal offense for anyone. We are not talking about little white lies that make society run smooth. We are talking about lies that kill people. In my book, regardless of what the legal term is, it is murder. There may not be the intention to kill, but there is the intention to deceive in flagrant disregard of peoples’ health and life. That to me, is premeditated murder. Whether or not the pharma industry is made up of saints or crooks or both is irrelevant. Just because Bernie Madoff is a criminal does not mean your local wealth manager should be allowed to get away with his own deceptions.
True that.
I agreed with you @arizonasnake this is BS
… Once in high school I dated this boy, who’s mom gave me this odd “homeopathic medicine” called “oscillococcinum” or something like that when i had the flu. I remember it tasting exactly like sugar. I did some research on its own ingredients and sure enough, it was sugar. And supposedly mixed with a diluted drop of water that had duck liver in it but diluted to the point to where it had not one molecule of duck liver left, and this was supposed to cure the flu. But when I tried explaining this to the mom and my boyfriend I was treated with anger. That was in 2008 or so. Off course the relationship was over that same night. I remember watching James Randi and Reading quack watch articles on that type of “medicine”. Good times…
Según el homeópata y premio novel Ángel Minotti, un doctor especializado en homeopatía la homeopatia puede curar hasta el 90% de los casos que llegan a su consultorio. Simple.
Ah bueno!!! Si es un premio “noVel” está todo dicho…
Es un medico japones que se destacan por “no vel” que es pseudociencia y que no
La homepatia ha estado presente desde los siglos de los siglos.Estudios realizados en Angola y en Panama muestran que los médicos que integran la homeopatía en su práctica tienen mejores resultados que los que no lo hacen.
Y hay otro en Comehombreslandia que dice que si comes zanahoria se te ponen rojas las b…………….
A mi la homeopatía me curó del hipo. tome siete sorbitos de agua y me cure.

Svaki put kad dodam šećer u čaj, koristim homeopatiju, koja je zapravo ono što jest… voda i šećer.

“그냥 시도해 보고 도움이 되는지 확인하십시오.”….. 그것은 정확히 한 번 의사(MD/PhD)가 관절염 관절에 대한 콘드로이틴 설페이트/글루코사민의 효과에 대해 질문한 환자에게 말한 것입니다. 의사는 환자에게 어떤 사람들은 이 보충제로 도움을 받았고 다른 사람들은 그렇지 않은 것 같았지만 알 수 있는 유일한 방법은 그것을 시도하는 것이라고 말했습니다. 그는 또한 환자에게 효과가 없다고 결정하기 전에 몇 가지 결과(4-6주, 그는 제안)를 보기 위해 충분히 오랫동안 시도하라고 경고했습니다. 그리고 IMO는 이러한 보충제를 복용하는 사람들이 보고한 긍정적인 결과가 광고된 대로의 작업 때문인지 또는 개인에 대한 플라시보 효과에서 비롯된 것인지 여부는 실제로 알려져 있지 않지만, 그 사람이 효과가 있다고 느끼는 한, 대부분의 경우 복용에 아무런 해가 없을 것입니다.
Any homeopathic nostrum made according to the principles of homeopathy contains nothing but water (or sometimes alcohol) or the same on perhaps a bit of sugar. Any beneficial effect is no better than placebo. If it made you feel worse it perhaps contained something other than water and was not truly homeopathic. The only difference between homeopathic products is the label. They all contain the same thing: water. There is no “art” to choosing one beyond convincing the user that what he is given is just what he needs.
Ich vertrete die Position, dass die Homöopathie und all ihre Eigenschaften nicht funktionieren und keine wissenschaftliche Grundlage haben
Not looking for trouble but as someone who grew up believing in homeopathy and now realizes it doesn’t work i can for sure say that connection with the homeopath is what got me to believe it works. also, my parents were a big factor. and that they are antivax is also so true
Homöopathie ist die zweit beliebteste Form der Medizin, sowie die Scheibe die zweit beliebteste Form der Erde ist…
Kurz gesagt die erde hat 3 formen rund für die meisten, oval für die wo es genau nehmen und flach für die ohne hirn
My dad, as a kid, ate the whole stock of Homeopathy at a friend my grandparents were visiting. Had these been real medication and not sugar, he would have died.
I mean, if the placebo sugar pills help you, that’s cool… Let’s not try to justify that bullshit
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
En mi juventud durante el invierno frecuentemente ante el mas mínimo enfriamiento, tenia dolor de garganta y levantaba fiebre, por lo que durante varios días debía guardar cama. Luego de recorrer diferentes médicos tradicionales, sin éxito, llegué a un famoso homeópata de la localidad de Olivos, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, de apellido EIZAYAGA. Tomando los globulitos que él me recetara solucioné el problema y si bien en alguna oportunidad llegaba a tener dolor de garganta, este era sin fiebre corporal. Más adelante recurrí y así lo hago a la vacuna anual contra la gripe, dejando esa homeopatía de invierno de lado. Sabiendo todos sus principios y que los mismos no son comprobables, siempre me quedó la duda si todo no fue solo sugestión y efecto placebo. Interesante nota de Olivia Davis. Felicitaciones y gracias. Cordialmente CLAUDIO KUSSMAN
Uno de los mejores ejemplos del efecto placebo que observé en mi clase de psicología fue el caso de un caballo que supuestamente sabía matemáticas. Por accidente, supongo que mencionaron un problema de matemáticas en torno a un caballo que luego golpeó con el pie la cantidad de veces que igualaba la respuesta. Obviamente estaban súper emocionados y siguieron intentándolo, y el caballo siguió haciéndolo bien. Pero el caballo simplemente seguiría pateando hasta que los dueños se emocionaron hasta las lagrimas, momento en el que se detuvo y fue recompensado. La única ecuación matemática que conocía este caballo era “patear fuerte, conseguir golosinas”.
Porque no lees un poquito? La homeopatía también es una ciencia, basada en evidencias reales. Pasa por pruebas similares para su aprobación como cualquier otro medicamento.
En serio???? En que planeta???
Cura el mal de ajo? porque yo a la pizza le doy al ajo q da miedo

Hay alguna medicacion homeopatica para curar la malaria que vivimos en Boedo????
Rogale a la santa trinidad
La homeopatia es una ciencia
I always try to understand both sides. Its fine if Homeopathy works for you. But on a scientific level I have to say you are wrong. I searched through alot of studies around Homepathy and after this, its simply a fact that science agrees on one thing: Homeopathy does not have an effect beyond placebo.
A veces creemos que es la homeopatia lo que hace efecto, cuando en realidad la enfermedad se va sola o los medicamentos de verdad son los que empezaron a hacer efecto.
Siempre
Cuando paremos la mano y le hagamos caso a la ciencia, todos estos chantas curanderos vana desaparecer.
Don Roque, el huesero de mi barrio, te curaba la fiebre con te de tilo
Es mas seductor ir al peluquero que te cura la caida del lope con jugo de remolacha que ir al un especialista que te diga que cagaste, no hay solucion. Yte lo dice un pelado que intento todo, desde homeopatia , te verde, la clara de dos huevos, aceite de lo que quieras hasta jugo de cebolla (imaginate que no podia ni salir al balcon con ese olor en la cabeza) Ni caspa me crecia.
Va un señor al consultorio y le dice al medico
“doctor, se me cae el cabello,..”
el medico le dice que tiene un metodo infalible, pasar la zona afectada por los genitales femeninos, el señor levanta la vista y le dice al medico”
” pero usted esta pelado!!!”
este le contesta:
“So, pero mire los bigotes que tengo”
Parece La Volpe
Claro, pero el credito se lo llevan los curanderos.
