Spot on!

I am not a proponent or user but I have to disagree with you calling homeopathy bullshit and stating that the others are okay. How would you know?

@SukiSue

-- Simple Answer: Science (please also double check that you understand that this is about Homeopathy and NOT herbology -- as many herbal remedies ARE effective and can be demonstrated in studies)

Here are worldwide scientific conclusions about Homeopathy

1. ‘The principles of homeopathy contradict known chemical, physical and biological laws and persuasive scientific trials proving its effectiveness are not available.’
   Russian Academy of Sciences

2. ‘Homeopathy should not be used to treat health conditions that are chronic, serious, or could become serious. People who choose homeopathy may put their health at risk if they reject or delay treatments for which there is good evidence for safety and effectiveness.’
   National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia

3. ‘These products are not supported by scientific evidence.’
   Health Canada

4 “Homeopathic remedies don’t meet the criteria of evidence based medicine.”
Hungarian Academy of Sciences

5. ‘The incorporation of anthroposophical and homeopathic products in the Swedish directive on medicinal products would run counter to several of the fundamental principles regarding medicinal products and evidence-based medicine.’
   Swedish Academy of Sciences

6. ‘We recommend parents and caregivers not give homeopathic teething tablets and gels to children and seek advice from their healthcare professional for safe alternatives.’
   US Food and Drug Administration

7. ‘There is little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific condition.’
   National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health, US

8. ‘There is no good-quality evidence that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition.’ National Health Service, UK

9. ‘Homeopathic remedies perform no better than placebos, and the principles on which homeopathy is based are scientifically implausible.’
   House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, UK

10. ‘Homeopathy has not definitively proven its efficacy in any specific indication or clinical situation.’
    Ministry of Health, Spain

11. ‘There is a constant increase in the quantity of evidence and the conviction of the scientific community in medicine, that homeopathy should be treated as one of the unscientific methods of so-called “alternative medicine”, which proposes worthless products without scientifically proven efficacy.’
    National Medical Council, Poland

12. ‘From a purely clinical perspective, the fact remains that there is no valid empirical proof
 of the efficacy of homeopathy (evidence-based medicine) beyond the placebo effect.’
    Federaal Kenniscentrum voor de Gezondheidszorg, Belgium

@SkotlandSkye so? All opinion. And how does that make it different from all the others?

@SukiSue

OMGoodness. All those scientific organizations and all the testing they did and you want to call it "opinion"? So, it's just a coincidence that every country who has tested homeopathics via the scientific method arrived at the SAME "opinion"?

You have got to be joking. This isn't even a serious conversation if you really believe that.

@SkotlandSkye they do it for all alternative medicine. Why single out one? Please don't get personal this time.

@SukiSue You dismissed EVERY scientific organization across the globe. There really isn't anything further to discuss. We aren't both starting from a place of seeking provable evidence. I require it....same as requiring proof before I believe in an invisible sky daddy.

You aren't interested in research that doesn't validate your personal beliefs.

Also, there is plenty of scientific support for other so called "alternative" medicine -- i.e. herbs, acupuncture, etc. Chinese herbology and Ayurvedic practices have been tested many times and the results are promising enough that the scientific community generally says that they work to degree depending on the particular herb or modality of treatment.

@SkotlandSkye whatever you say, I guess? I'm just a "dismisser."
