Why is homeopathy so popular?

[Castiel]

I'm sure your lacking smilies there, but my sarcasm detector isn't registering anything.

Is not a homopath like a psychopath, just limited to the gay community?????? The larger the community the more likelihood that the incidence of homopaths will increase?

 

[Burnsy2023]

The point still remains that homeopathy in itself doesn't actually cause harm - as per usual, stupidity causes harm.

The fact that people may choose homeopathy over "proper" treatment causes harm. Steve Jobs proved that (ok, ok, I know it wasn't homeopathy but you get my point).

 

[Burnsy2023]

It may be worth noting he said homopaths not homeopaths?

I knew I missing something. Ta!

I am sure doctors have killed more people!

I am sure they've helped more people.

 

[Haggisman]

I still don't agree. If you have two bottles of pills, both claim to be antibiotics, yet one of them is just sugar pills, then those could kill.

But they don't both claim to be antibiotics, one of them quite clearly claims to be homeopathic.

If you're stupid enough to go against all scientific evidence and go for the solution which has been repeatedly proven not to work, well... you only really have yourself to blame.

Err.. I'll try and put it differently. You go on holiday and ask me to feed your cat. I tell you I will do it, I don't do it, and then the cat dies.

If you had a proven history of not feeding cats, then it would be pretty stupid of me to trust you to feed mine wouldn't it?

What happened to the old Castiel? This one seems more "chavy" than the previous one.

Desperate people try anything and i imagine the placebo effect is better than just swallowing a little pill.

It was probably all the boobs over the weekend.

Ok More relaxed. Younger! Recharged!

MY new job has just sunk in and I have settled into a routine and I guess I am far less stressed now I do not have the Rat Race to worry about.

It's all good.


But 'chavy'????.........please!

Why is homeopathy so popular?

Because at least 50% of the population are female who believe anything.

 

[postbox]

It hasn't helped at all. You're just a moron.

was there any need in that?

 

[:(Rhodri:)]

It's natural selection in action.

 

[The Halk]

was there any need in that?

Think of it as tough love.

 

[Inquizitor]

was there any need in that?

The other way of putting it is "It didn't help at all, you're just being fooled". Same effect, really.

People who believe in homeopathy as a substitue for medicine deserve to extinguish. Darwinism, innit

Q. Why is homeopathy so popular?

A. Because people are idiots. That's why they are allowing the Tories to privatise the NHS

 

[ringo747]

I know a number of GPs who are also practice in homeopathetic stuff. I wouldn't necessarily call these people stupid - they obviously aren't.

Me, I don't know anything about it.

They obviously have a degree of stupidity, and should have their licensed revoked. Where will they draw the line when they truly believe that water can work as well as medicine can?

If any of it worked, it'd be called medicine. But it isn't.
