My favourite homoeopathic remedies

Antimatter.

Well, it's certainly available in the right sort of quantity.

I knew they were loopy.
Hell, I knew they were quantum loopy.
But I never appreciated the cosmic scale of superstring loopiness till now.
 
Okay, that's just utterly, stunningly, ****ing nuts. Where's the dark matter preparation?

And why don't they tell us what these preparations are good for? Is it obvious to the right sort of screaming-whacko-woojob?

I made positronium in graduate school. :D It's half life is about 121 nanoseconds. Plus it's not antimatter; it's an unstable molecule of antimatter and matter (an electron and a positron). There was no positronium in their vial, I'm sure.

Antimatter (positrons) is not that hard to come by, you use radioactive sodium chloride. I don't recommend drinking it, or even holding it in your hand while you shake it though. This raises an interesting question though, as the antimatter in question only lasts a few nanoseconds before it annihilates. The NaCl keeps making more as it decays, so that at any given moment you have plenty to work with.

Their vial had no direct contact with the radioactive NaCl, so they were in no danger, assuming the person who set the experiment up was trained in proper handling.

It's easy: just take one of the substances in undiluted form and see what happens to you. That's the "proving". The symptoms that you experience will be cured by the homeopathic dilution of that same substance, so there's nothing to worry about ;)

No, these pages are describing homoeopathic provings of the substances. Mostly at 30C potency, which is how homoeopathic provings are done, in spite of what the Janet-and-John explanations say.

Mojo, which installment is that? I see even Peter Fisher has stopped publishing the series - I think even he knows when reality has been left behind in this case.

The 11th, I think: I posted them in an appropriate thread the other day.

For example:

"'Laser-like' action of the homeopathic therapeutic encounter as predicted by a gyroscopic metaphor for the vital force." :boggled:

Venus
A storm

Yah beauty!

Whilst I don't think that the symptoms that can be cured by this remedy will be ones caused by exposure to the light of Venus, it is possible that individuals who have these symptoms are sensitive or susceptible to it.

Some individuals are susceptible to the light of Venus?!

Not that surprising really, homoeopathy is heavily influenced by Uranus after all, as I've said to many a homoeopath in the past.

Perhaps they are trying to mix one Hydrogen ion in a liter solution with Helium II. Call it Preparation H+ cause it'll climb in your rectum and freeze the s88t out of you!!!

I just took a St. John's Ambulance First Aid course at their building in town here. The ex-cop teaching the course said we shouldn't take meds prescribed from the hospital. Instead you should use Arnica to help heal the set broken bones, etc. He encouraged us to self educate via the net.

:boggled:

I'm all for not Oding yourself on pain meds, but sheesh, you know.

This is a pure M-Theory no-braner.
 
I agree

I agree with the fact that there is a lot of stupidity going on in the name of Homoeopathy but I request you all not to get carried away with all this stupidity. I wish to say that there is some substance in this system and it would be advisable not to get carried away just because there are people who are interested in making a fast buck or easy publicity.

No, there really isn't!

I would caution you against assuming that anyone here is unfamiliar with the homoeopathic literature, or the strengths and weaknesses of its claims. If you intend to try to demonstrate that the remedies have any physiological effect over and above what one would expect of the carrier material, be prepared for some well-informed argument.

You guys just reminded me:
I haven't taken my homeopathic remedy in a week!
I'm gonna overdose!
(call a doctor)

This has already been done many times, including a few well-published "mass suicides by homeopathic sleeping pill".

Aka: sugar highs.
 
let me explain

I have been reading posts in this forum for some time and I know that you people do have a good knowledge about Homoeopathy . The only thing that I want to say you are clubbing everyone together.Like if someone is just going to prove the Berlin wall it cannot reflect on the entire system.The remedies mentioned above were never heard by me or any of my colleagues and we have been practicing for the past ten years.I understand the scientific approach that you take and I firmly believe that Homoeopathy stands upto it.There certainly are deficiencies but the general philosophy is not something that is illogical.

The generaly philosophy of most forms of homeopathy would have not problem with berlin wall as a remedy. It has been through a proveing what more do you want?

If there is substance in the system itself, can you tell us what the failings of the homeopathic provings cited here were, in homeopathic terms? What homeopathic principles did they violate? What did they do wrong that is wrong in homeopathy, to disqualify them from being legitimate in the context of homeopathy? If you cannot find a fault in the provings within the contextual rules of homeopathy, I think it's fair to question the substance of the system itself.

Are you suggesting that the remedies mentioned in this thread (e.g. the thunderstorm one) do not actually have the effects claimed?

I do hope you are not going to be another fly-by-night homeopath who runs at the first sign of a tricky question that highlights the internal inconsistencies in their belief system.

Try answering geni, bruto and Mojo's questions. There are of course plenty more, but start with those.

Over to you.
 
No, I can't resist.

drsabbylewis, do airport X-ray scanners inactivate remedies? Yes or no. Give the reasons for your answer.
 
I would like to see a remedy made on STEAM. I can barely figure out what it might be good for! :boggled:

I read the proving of the berlin wall.To begin with a proving is only a collection of symptoms that are obtained when a specific drug is given to a healthy person,I don't understand how you can get a symptom of Those who suffer from family strife and oppression, often from childhood.This is an opinion of the person who conducted the proving( the practitioner) and not that of the prover(i.e. the person who took the drug.The remaining symptoms listed are also on the same lines. I hardly see a symptom that can qualify as a true symptom.

I really don't see the effects in terms of symptoms.These have come more from the head of the person who has put them on the net
