Dr. MAS - Please use this thread to explain homeopathy to us

[Kumar]

Nice try, Kumar .

No, I won't bite.

Hans

???.

Usually, you are not a biter, but someimes after weakends...?

Donks,

One lac ot lakh is 1/10th of one million.

When you have so many healing substances, brands, theories, patients etc., don't you have to think all these about for effecting a justified treatment?

Alike God's mind may be required to understand just 12 remedies in complete/absolute. I can't think about thousands. I am not yet/can't in gross sense.

 

[sackett]

Lakhs and crores and trillions, oh my!

Kumar is trying to use the word "lakh," meaning 100,000 if I remember correctly.

I'm going to found the Society for Undertaking Communication w/ Kumar (SUCK) to foster scholarly research into Kumarish. Well, it might help!

No obviously not.

We don't decide whether something is real by whether people believe in it or not.

Otherwise walking on cracks in pavements really would be dangerous, dowsing would work, crystals would heal you, the sun would go round the earth and aliens would spend most of their time flattening corn and snapping on proctologist's gloves.

But you know all this. I assume you are just here for people to talk to.
Even scorn and ridicule suit you fine - any human contact seeming to be better than none.

I'm already a member of the Foundation for Understanding Conversational Kumarese.

Perhaps the societies should merge?

We could have a Meet and Greet for Suck and our organisation.

I skipped over a lot of these posts. Kumar, the way you are interpreting the word 'teacher' is very different from the way the word is used here. And it is very different from the way people are responding to MAS's posts. We would like him to explain his ideas of how homeopathy fits with science, that is all. Since the word 'teach' is clearly loaded for you and maybe Dr. MAS also, maybe you could think of a different word that would work. For us it is a casual word in this context.

I suggested that Dr. MAS should think of his explanation as giving a seminar rather than a class. In a seminar, one knowledgable person gives a lecture to a group of other knowledgable people, expecting most of them to know the basics of his information. The audience could include colleagues in the same field or related fields or even other areas, or could include students, but the speaker would address his audiences as equals.

What you can and can't do has no bearing on what anyone else can and can't do.

So, has anyone ever tried homeopathic hot sauce?

I put the tinest little drop on my pizza and it spiced the whole thing amazingly. Frankly it was too hot, so I poured lots more on and it eventually reduced down to just 'quite spicy'.

 

[Ashles]

Look at the example: Ashels requested by posting this topic;

Dr. MAS - Please use this thread to explain homeopathy to us

Dr.Mas started explaining.

No he didn't.

If someone tells you that they can explain to you scientifically how a magic broomstick can fly then you would ask them to proceed.

If they then tell you that a magic broomstick is primarily a sweeping implement that has been magically treated to fly through the air and is traditionally associated with witches... that isn't an explanation.
That is merely reiterating what a magic broomstick is.

Dr. MAS has never even begun to explain how homeopathy works - you might want to ask yourself why.
(Yeah, right...)

 

[wahrheit]

Hey guys!! No fooling around here, back to class, hey presto!

 

[delphi_ote]

I want a t-shirt that says "I care/understand for the limit of one brain. "

 

[delphi_ote]

Hey guys!! No fooling around here, back to class, hey presto!

Crap! I hope I'm not tardy. Dr. MAS might start handing out detention slips this time...

Regularly attened DHMS class, you will learn how does it work at the end of four years. Those who designed the curriculum for four years were not fool.

Follow the Introduction of Homeopathy link on the page for an interesting recounting of Hanemann's "discovery" of homeopathy, the infamous Cinchona bark folly that started it all.

Courses taught by people who are incapable of answering even the most simple questions. They do look pretty foolish.

And here you are trying to divert attention from the purpose of this thread. Why is that, underbridger?

I see that their clinical facility comprises some beds.

I hope they have a potted plant and a coffee machine as well.

You've all got to visit that link. It's hilarious.

Some quotes from the photo captions.

"Prof Dr. MAS is discussing on the Internet."

"A view of Computer Hard ware Section."

"Prof Dr. MASÂ_is delivering lecture on "Research Methodology in Homoeopathy"


and yet not one of them knows how many atoms there are in a 0.01M solution.

And finally, the frankly worrying;

"We caught the Protozoa."

 

[Gaga]

well, mas' picture ontop of his introduction to hpathy is absolutely priceless
Bollywood!

 

[Ashles]

You've all got to visit that link. It's hilarious.

I particularly enjoyed the "laboratory" section.

Homeopaths looking down microscopes - what on earth are they looking at? Single or zero molecules of remedy in water?

It reminds me of the old joke:
What's red and invisible?
No tomatoes

And why do they work with blue liquid so much? What is this blue liquid? Gatorade?
I supose it just looks so much more sciencey if you have containers of coloured liquids.


But be warned - it is a Geocities site so if you haven't already visited it, it'll be unavailable for a bit now.

I am in hopes that they are getting some useful science instruction, and maybe some medical instruction. (They have microscopes, they have flasks, they have anatomical models. The students in white lab coats around the patient's bed have stethoscopes.)

Because I think homeopathy does not work as a medical treatment, it distresses me to think of the serious young students putting all that time and money and hard work into learning what I think is a useless skill. So I am hoping that along with the homeopathic materia they are learning practical things which actually help people's health, in particular the health of those people who choose homeopathy because it is less expensive.

edited to add:
In the US, homeopathy is not respected by the vast majority of medical doctors and scientists. Few people use it. So any student who chooses to study it knows from the start that it is considered questionable by most people in the country. The students may believe in it, but they know from the start of their education that their treatment is outside standard medicine. I wonder if the same is true in India and Pakistan. Until reading this forum I had no idea that homeopathy was present in those countries. Now I wonder if those students in the pictures realize that what they are learning is not considered correct by current mainstream science and medicine.
