Homeopathy, PLEASE! All the proper evidence says it is nonsense on stilts.

http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRel ... homeo.htmlhttp://www.economist.com/blogs/economis ... t-explainsBelievers, will point to trials which, when examined closely, are poorly done and normally very closed minded, i.e they start with the premise it works and try to prove it. Proper science/medicine starts with the proposition that what they want to show is false and then see if the facts fit that assumption. Other studies are pure "observational" studies, which are basically anecdotes.
Interestingly, when you look at one of the comments above " The high content of vitamin C in dragon fruit can enhance the immune system." and then look at high quality organisations who examine this such as the Cochrane Collaboration, Harvard Medical School, or the Mayo Clinic they will show that there is either no, or little evidence that this is so. The Mayo Clinic has the best summary:

There is a story that pre the second world war, GPs used to give a scrip to a patient for a great drug called called ADT, which the pharmacist would happily dispense. This of course was Any Damn Thing, the aim was to get the patient out of the surgery 'cos he just wanted to feel he'd got something (much like antibiotics for colds today). Homeopathy is an equivalent these days, give'em something harmless that may have a placebo effect but Dr's need time to sort the genuinely ill and curable.
Over 35 years i've looked into this a huge amount, in an open minded way, and as i get older i get more and more shocked,and depressed, by the greed and cynicism of the alternative medicine industry.
Just a thought.
