Homeopati works, acupuncture doesn't (norwegian)

Naturmedisin og homøopatiske midler, derimot, er underkjent av legene, mener Jerk W. Langer. Virkningen av homøopati er nemlig til dels svært godt dokumentert.

The best transelation I could come up width for the last sentence: "The effect of homeopati is party well documented."

If any Norwegians want to join in the discussion.

Fins allowed?

Generally speaking when it comes to relative if minor efficiency of quackery,I think acupuncture´s effectiveness is much better documented and in some cases it may even turn out to help a bit.
Homeopathy then,seems to lack any basis to work outside of placebo.

Homeopathy does work... well, if what you are trying to cure is thirst.

Possibly so,but I prefer having my usual tap water instead of toxins carefully diluted into tap water.

Darwin: I prefer having my usual tap water instead of toxins carefully diluted into tap water.

If you are drinking the tap water at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas you are getting a 6C dilution of arsenic (.001 ppb), which is ten thousand times more diluted than the federal EPA guidelines for safe drinking water. The EPA limit for arsenic is 10 ppb (parts per billion), which is equivalent to 4C.

According to one particular homeopathic source I looked at, Arsenicum Album is their second most popular remedy and can be bought in dilutions of 6X, 12X, 30X, 6C, 12C, 30C, 200C, 1M and 10M (where 1M = 1000C).

That source also has a list of ailments that homeopathic arsenic is supposed to remedy.

To summarize, a 24X (12C) dilution contains only one molecule of arsenic per fluid ounce of water. By comparison, the tap water at Fort Leavenworth contains 1,000,000,000,000 molecules of arsenic per fluid ounce. Drink up.
