most replies against homeopathy are just expressions of childish bullying. no one is engaging in a straight forward respectful debate or discussion. demanding the million dollar clinical trials and studies controlled by gatekeepers while peppering the whole mess with condescending comments is petty and intellectually lazy. but it's still funny to read the same old repeated lines again and again for years and years while millions continue to benefit from pennies worth of healing medicine. to each their own. good health to all. thanks for the engagement.

> demanding the million dollar clinical trials and studies controlled by gatekeepers Studies, including by friendly investigators have been done, fairly extensively. Not only is it clear why homeopathy shouldn't be able to work, it's also clear that it doesn't beyond placebo effect; not only do most studies show this, but meta-analysis shows that contrary findings and their apparent strength are directly tied to weaknesses of the studies involved. > millions continue to benefit from pennies worth of healing medicine. Just saying this repeatedly doesn't make it true.

I don’t have to dig up stuff to reply to lazy responses when those interested can do so themselves. The quality of the discussion here on HN on this topic has been very disheartening to me and it’s simply mud slinging. I had hoped for a more rigorous and scientific discussion. The hostility..I find that interesting. I think we are done here. Have a nice day.
