Don't worry. People ... ( 4 days ago by dd1857)
Don't worry. People have been against homeopathy for last 200 years and it is still standing.
Theere must be something in it..
keep up the good work.
Of course ... ( 4 days ago by cicero1453)
Of course homeopathy is quackery, but dude, you should say "acting irrationally" not "acting irrational."
This old evil ... ( 4 days ago by dd1857)
This old evil fucker and his mind controlled JREF cronies want you to keep popping the big pharma pills that scramble your DNA and mash your mind. Use your initiative, this Randi bastard is pure evil.
Oops, I think you ... ( 3 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
Oops, I think you accidentally posted that from the wrong ID. Either that or you've given up any pretense whatsoever of bothering to come up with your own posts.
Now, like I said already - perhaps less time posting more unfounded wild statements, and more trying to evidence those you've made already, eh?
Haha, you are an ... ( 3 days ago by tsferg)
Haha, you are an idiot. Homeopathy is just one of the many things James Randi debunks. Do you think he debunks faith healing becasue he wants these people to take big pharma pills? Do you think he debunks $700 audio cable becasue he wants you to buy his cheaper favorite brand? Do you think he debunks Uri Gellar because he likes some other magician? No, he hates stupidity. The only cure for stupidity is a little rational tough love.
No Madam i just ... ( 3 days ago by dd1857)
No Madam i just copied it .. It takes a lot of effort to type.. so it showed what i thought about Randi.. Can you think straight..why alwasy in circle way...yep circle.. you shoot straight.. bullets done do round.. people who have courage talk straight... Randi is a nut case
ha ha.. you dont ... ( 3 days ago by dd1857)
ha ha.. you dont know what you are missing soo well do what you like,, i know whomeopathy works,, Sooo much for your thoughts
Oh you are frm ... ( 3 days ago by tsferg)
Oh you are frm india. Have you ever seen the "Sanal Edamaruku Challenges Tantra Part 1" video? This is the sort of thing that Randi and people like Randi fight.
Now dd1857, it sounds like you do not like to back up your claims with evidence. Do you have any or is "Ive seen it work" your evidence?
Interesting how so ... ( 3 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
Interesting how so many of you homeopathy proponents seem to think that calling someone a woman or pejorative variations thereof is offensive. Says far more about you than it does about anyone else, I'm afraid.
It takes a lot of effort to type a whole 500 characters? Given the quality of posts you make - no evidence, no reasoning, no logic, just blind faith claims and weak abuse for those that dare question them - I find that hard to believe.
Now - my questions. Answer them, please.
I also can't help ... ( 3 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
I also can't help but notice that you were posting prolifically right up until the requests you back up your claims became too numerous to ignore. Whereupon suddenly it became a lot of effort to type.
How mysterious. Perhaps you're allergic to evidence?
Oh dear god. I've ... ( 3 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
Oh dear god. I've just read your message.
"So how can you test homeopathy with out a living organism to test."
Is this seriously your explanation for why all good, repeatable studies into homeopathy show no effect over placebo?
Tell me, what do you think these studies test it on, exactly, if not living organisms? Rocks, perhaps?
Seriously, this is pathetic. You clearly don't have the first idea what you're talking about, and frankly you're embarrassing yourself.
Just to save him ... ( 3 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
Just to save him the 'effort' of typing, here's dd1857's explanation for why homeopathy doesn't show up when studied:
"homeopathy=Vital Force. Medicine helps the vital force to fight back. So how can you test homeopathy with out a living organism to test.
Read Organon of Homeopathy. So key Living Beings. or Animals"
Words fail me.
Roughly how many studies of homeopathy have you actually read? And how is it possible to test for the efficacy of it without using living organisms?
Dear oh dear.
well you are a ... ( 3 days ago by dd1857)
well you are a closed case..
Dear or Dear..
Milions still accept it dear or dear ...
You keep on trying and it will still spread..Dear o dear...
You have your closed mind and well any thing given to you will not work..So continue..Continue Women continue.Dear o dear..
you never told us ... ( 3 days ago by dd1857)
you never told us the Sexual Problem you had???
be nice enough...there are many doc here and could help you which is making you so mad and so XXXX??
Ask for help and you will get it... Dear o Dear
There's only one of ... ( 3 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
There's only one of us resorting to personal abuse.
I note you're back to using the word "woman" as a term of such abuse. Nice.
And to making wild claims and running away when asked to evidence them.
Presuming your intent is to convince people homeopathy works, do you think anyone reading would be persuaded by your posts? They're abusive, logic-free, as full of wild claims as they are empty of evidence, childish and incoherent. You're embarrassing yourself and homeopathy.
Keep it up.
you are also doing ... ( 2 days ago by dd1857)
you are also doing a good job..Keep it up women..kepp it uppp..
Six months this kid is still up and jumping..So what was your sexual problem??
Did homeopathy fail?? LOL..Got Cured by allopthy
I really don't know ... ( 2 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
I really don't know why you think calling me female is going offend me. It'll probably offend the half of the global population whose gender is being used as a term of abuse, but you appear to be beyond caring.
Oh well, I think we can safely say you've crossed the line from someone who is just misguided but doesn't actually know what they're talking about into just being a tedious troll, spouting incoherent and risible attempts at abuse.
How tiresomely predictable. Run along now.
Not that I hold out ... ( 2 days ago by wizzardssleeve)
Not that I hold out much hope, but if you feel like engaging in debate rather than just spouting lame abuse, here's the basic questions I still want answered:
1) An explanation for why even homeopaths can't produce a quality positive study.
2) An argument in favour of homeopathy not founded on a logical fallacy.
3) A citation for a study you've read and found persuasive.
4) A rough figure as to how many studies of homeopathy you've read.
5) What it is you think studies actually test.
Good go on debating ... ( 1 day ago by dd1857)
Good go on debating and i go on using homeopathy.
It works and belive me i will one day make sure that idiots like you are overwelmed with matarial and data and reports so that before you even open your mouth it will be shoved in your mouth.
I have seen and learnt a lot from this discussion how nut case you might be.
Rome was not buit in a day and well days of homeopathy are coming again.
Allopathy is good in Surgery and homepathy good for literrly every thing exept broken boones..
You always side ... ( 1 day ago by dd1857)
You always side step your sexual problem ...what happned.Homeopathic doctors can help you a lot..
The after curing you every one can run along you.....Women or Women..LOL
You're absolutely ... ( 1 day ago by wizzardssleeve)
You're absolutely right, what was I thinking? How is it possible to expect a shred of good evidence for homeopathy when it's only been around for two centuries?
I mean, modern medicine has been around significantly less time, and it's not as though there's tens of thousands of studies showing that works.
More special pleading. It seems your defintion of "nutcase" is "someone asking for proof".
You clearly abandoned logic and rational thought in favour of sexist abuse a long time ago. How sad.
LOl, drug companies ... ( 1 day ago by dd1857)
LOl, drug companies and Govt supporting Allopathy, Homeopathy on its own.People suporting homeopathy are those who have been helped. Support is there and not much institutional Support.
So madan a 25 year old..kepp on trying to Say homepathy..One of my friends just had stocmuch operation..Yep American Citizen and American to core. Homeopathy and LOL he is not on pain killers..Surprised.Yep American Hospital.
Arnica,hypericaum,ledum.
LOL Read idiot Women..
Yeah, you've tipped ... ( 1 day ago by wizzardssleeve)
Yeah, you've tipped over into near total incoherence now. The only bit of the post you've just made I understood (aside from the usual sexist ranting) is that a friend of yours believes in homeopathy so much that he preferred to have an operation rather than trust his health to it. I don't blame him.
I think we've reached the end of a useless discussion, don't you? I'm going to continue pointing out when you're posting nonsense, but don't expect replies to your attempts at abuse. Bye!
try this: dilute ... ( 17 hours ago by nezpercenathan)
try this: dilute syrup of ipecac 10^23, and see if it still makes you throw up. Better yet, give it to (a healthy) unknowing subject, so you eliminate psychosomatic effect, and see if they throw up.
