Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

In a staggeringly dumb move, the Professional Standards Authority in the U.K. have accredited The Society of Quackeopathy a.k.a. The Society of Homeopaths.

See the full story here:

I urge you all to write to the PSA to complain. They claim that they “do this to promote the health, safety and well-being of users of health and social care services and the public.”

How on earth can they achieve this goal when they recognise nonsense? Completely barmy, and if you read the PSA excuses they make zero sense in context of their stated mission.
 
The short time they were accredited actually makes them way more accredited.
 
I have a world of success with homeopathic remedies, particularly for my wonderful healing REM sleep, 8-10 hrs nightly, and and other remedies to keep my eyes in very good health at 82, no cataracts, no other eye disease and homeopathy is a huge part of keeping it this way.

And some topical homeopathics for bruises and pain are also in my arsenal, can't imagine them not in my life.

Isn't it a truth that homeopathy is used throughout the world and the least in the U.S. but it's being used more and more.

Me too! But I don't use homeopathy and I never have. So that cancels out your anecdote.

Placebo much? Try just drinking plain water. It's exactly the same medication.

No, not true. Lots of so-called homeopathics are being touted, but they are actually folk, unlicensed or ordinary medications with the word "homeopathic" added to the label to sell them to unwitting suckers at inflated prices.
 
It is very easy to fool yourself into believing a medical treatment works even though it actually doesn't. Careful testing is required to determine whether apparent efficacy is genuine, or due to the placebo effect, confirmation bias and regression to the mean. Such testing has been done, and clearly shows that homeopathy is ineffective.

Here's the summary of the evidence considered by the Commons Select Committee, which led to the recommendation that homeopathy no longer be offered by the NHS:

No it's not plain water, there is a science behind it and "like cures", and plain water to sleep, I'd be up all night. After menopause FOR ME and more chronic pain from OA and damaged surgery, my sleep went downhill, now at 82 I sleep 8-10 good deep hrs...and also in the whole mix is a HGH homeopathic gel I've been using for 2 yrs, my daughter and I, she 2.5 yrs, me 2 yrs.

Sleep issues are major in our population and it's sad and very pathetic as it's so needed for healing. And to increase HGH as we age.

No it's NOT plain water.

We have a Homeopathic pharmacy in our town and they are major in homeopathics and all medicines, outside pharma, and they have been in business here since 1948, they were my first go to when I moved here 55 yrs. ago.

There is a science to it and Most of the world uses homeopathics. And it's inexpensive and no side effects and pharma would love love love it to be out of their hairs.

There is no science to it, science is what proved it did not work. The fact that many people still think it works is irrelevant. They are simply wrong.

If it's not plain water and contains any active ingredients then it is not "homeopathic" at all. You need to go look up what "homeopathic'" means. Someone is selling you an unlisted and probably untested medication. Do you like to gamble with your health like that?

What is this HGH?

No it's NOT plain water.

If it is truly made to homeopathic principles then it really is. In fact, it should be distilled water.

Making profits off the local suckers. Like I said.

The point is that no homoeopath has ever been able to distinguish a blank pill from a homoeopathic pill, or a vial of water-based homoeopathic remedy from plain water, and so on. It is only the label on the bottle that distinguishes them.

Have you heard of the homoeopathic concept of “grafting”? It is basically putting blank pills close to homoeopathic pills, and they will magically receive the homoeopathic effect too, or putting a bottle of water close to a bottle of homoeopathic remedy, and then the water bottle becomes that same homoeopathic remedy. I am not making this stuff up! It is standard homoeopathy going right back to Hahnemann himself.

But homoeopathic believers normally have never heard about it. Strange, isn’t it? Believers likewise normally do not know how the sequential dilutions lead to not a single molecule of the remedy being left in the solution.

But skeptics know these things, and we also understand why grafting works - and it does work!

Finally, for fun, I can tell you that some believers have noticed that they can achieve the same wonderful effect of homoeopathy without having the actual remedy. Just write the name of the remedy on a slip of paper, and sleep with it under the pillow. This will have the same effect as the actual remedy. I kid you not! It actually works, and skeptics know why.
 
It has been demonstrated that pink sugar pills are more efficacious than white sugar pills.
 
I'd rather support what I use any day in my long life that give my money to big pharma and their toxic drugs.

If you have not used them and had some degree of success then how can one speak with any authority.

Just blasting off what one knows of nothing. And yes I've tried some over the years that didn't do what I had hoped for, but that is TRUE with all medicines...

I've had my share of damage from big pharma drug, a trip to ER from one drug turned my mind around and this was in the 80's.

that, of course is your choice.

The authority comes from a consideration of the facts (not a single active molecule left in the dilution) and multiple double blind trials that show that homeopathy is no better than placebo. The easiest person to fool is yourself.

Whereas I wouldn’t be alive without Rx medication. But that’s just another anecdote. The proof is in the trials.

Boiron is the world's leading producer of homeopathic remedies. They are also one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical manufacturers. They make billions of Euros every year selling plain water and plain sugar pills to gullible people. No toxins, but also no medicine either. Unless your "illness" is thirst.

Don't believe me? Check out their own website about how they make their money.

Who says we haven't used them? Who says we haven't investigated them fully?

Whoops, wrong. We know a LOT more than most users of homeopathy.

And yes I've tried some over the years that didn't do what I had hoped for, but that is TRUE with all medicines...

Which "big pharma drug" in the 80's was that?
