That is a meta analysis conducted by homeopathic doctors, on studies done by some "homeopathic institutes" and other such associations.
It's curious how positive results only come from associates in an industry profiting from trying to convince you that their water, chemically indistinguishable from regular water, has magical healing properties through its memory of past events.
- dr_dshiv 4y agoWater has memory! Or so says a popular snowman. In case you are curious, here is a rigorous research paper on the topic. It is extremely hard to evaluate. Any researcher who would try to do this sort of research is immediately suspect, so it takes a certain type. But I see no reason to dismiss a priori. See what you think (over 250 cites): Roy, R., Tiller, W. A., Bell, I., & Hoover, M. R. (2005). The structure of liquid water; novel insights from materials research; potential relevance to homeopathy. Materials Research Innovations, 9(4), 98-103. https://doi.org/10.1080/14328917.2005.11784911 https://doi.org/10.1080/14328917.2005.11784911
- korm 4y agoI know it does, and that has been cited countless times by homeopathic studies. The problem is that you still need magic for it to have a biological effect. They dismiss this criticism as undiscovered science, in much the same way fairies and leprechauns are undiscovered animals. They'll often cite quantum mechanics and even cosmology, the more esoteric the better, to try to shoehorn science into their beliefs.
- dr_dshiv 4y agoNo, but really— try reading the article I shared. It’s pretty interesting.
