Homeopathy and Placebo

Mojo said:
I see it's Andrew Sikorsky, Treasurer of the Faculty of Homeopathy. Odd that his involvement in an organisation with a stated aim of "promoting the availability of homeopathy in the NHS" never seems to get mentioned whenever he pops up promoting the availablity of homoeopathy in the NHS. For example when he was quoted by the BBC in a story about the Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital he was described merely as "a GP in Tunbridge Wells".

Good to see that his 'interests' have just been given an airing in the comments section:

Surgery in general should be the last option. When you yourself said there was no need to have it for your abscess, why you go for it?
 
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']when a study claimed "NO EFFECTS OR EFFICACY" it is NOT the problem of homoeopathy but the problem of the instrument (scientific method) to study a wholistic system of healing. If you are a man of science you would know this very basic scientific adage - a negative result doesn't mean a negation of the phenomenon and its effects.[/FONT]
 
This sort of comment comes from having only a few days of First Aid training in your whole 3-year diploma courses at homeopathy colleges. Real doctors get a bit more training in medicine than that... :rolleyes:

That's right - blame the study, not the results. :rolleyes:

:) Actually, it does. Let me explain it to you in simple terms: The phenomenon exists only if something happens enough to generate an actual measurement of some sort. So no measurement, no phenomenon!

Of course, you can still imagine there was an effect, but that's called...placebo! (or lying...)

Some advice, Dr. Nancy Malik. If you're going to blindly copy and paste people's comments from here

http://www.otherhealth.com/research.../9000-homeopathy-some-issues-4.html#post77375

it would help if you stripped out the html code first. Leaving in the font tags really makes it so much easier for people to notice what you're doing.

Who else could write something like this?
We are trying to understand an "yet unclear aspect with you" so anything can be thought and if science is not yet "absolute and final" on well existing popular and persisting/growing systems with least adversities, it can be considered just a "miss, weakness, carelessness, vested interest or otherwise. Since I am also getting positive outcome for sevral years, I shall go on trying to know science of unclarites anyway to convince me and others. Anyway I am oblized, you are reacting to my invitation. Do carry on till...

There is no diploma in Homoeopathy in India now. There is a bachelor's degree course in Homoeopathy of 5 1/2 years. ANd if you wish to do M.D. in Homoeopathy in India, it took three more years

Do you realize that an Indian doctor of homeopathy degree is a qualification for exactly nothing in the United States? Eight and a half years of homeopathic education counts for nothing in America... you would not even be allowed to change a bandage or take a person's temperature in an American clinic or hospital setting.

As a matter of fact... it would be better if you didn't mention your homeopathic training and qualifications if you were seeking employment in a healthcare-related occupation in the U.S., as it would most probably be seen as a detriment by a prospective employer.

You might want to pass this information on to any of your homeopathy-trained colleagues who may be considering emigration to America. It may save them considerable disappointment and disillusionment.

This is how well it works, from http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/msg/6ddc6285a4c7f67b :
This is really a shame on Indian Universities that offer Homeopathy
education for those who wantes to come to United States for their
future studies.

If Homeopathy is not widely recognized in super power countries like
United States, students should be made aware of this fact so that they
do not spent their life wasting on this education, spending their
parents money, and losing their most precious time of their life, in
India.

What can an Homeopath do in order to work as a Physician in United
States? Answer is Nothing. Else study his/her entire life studying M.D
How will he/she able to use knowledge earned in 5 and one half years
of medical studies?

There isn't, is there?

Perhaps you should tell the Indian government that. They seem to have a different view to you. click here
