Re: Re: Castor Oil Pack - Dr ./ Homeopathy

[Guest guest]

There are broad statements made here that may or may not have real

implications and I suspect more research is needed but when I read:

“In the light of this research, it can now be asserted that anyone who says or

suggests that there is " nothing " in homeopathic medicines is either simply

uninformed or is not being honest. “ - I think, perhaps a lot of researchers

are ‘questioning’ claims but not outright saying there’s “nothing in

Homeopathic medicineâ€. “ Nothing†is strong and unless one has researched

everything, how can one say there’s “nothing†to it? The writer goes on

to say there’s “more†positive findings than there are “negative†re

Homeopathy. I don’t know what that really means except they need to do more

research before we jump into the arms of this practice but perhaps we should not

totally close our minds and just get more information. Does “Most

Research†really show positive results? How do we know “most†really show

that? Because he says so? Perhaps he is correct in making that statement.

How do I know?

As usual, we’re left wondering what is being said but at least we might wonder

more.

Here some information of interest :

Luc Montagnier, Nobel Prize Winner, Takes Homeopathy Seriously

Dr. Luc Montagnier, the French virologist who won the Nobel Prize in 2008 for

discovering the AIDS virus, has surprised the scientific community with his

strong support for homeopathic medicine.

In a remarkable interview published in Science magazine of December 24, 2010,

(1) Professor Luc Montagnier, has expressed support for the often maligned and

misunderstood medical specialty of homeopathic medicine. Although homeopathy has

persisted for 200+ years throughout the world and has been the leading

alternative treatment method used by physicians in Europe, (2) most conventional

physicians and scientists have expressed skepticism about its efficacy due to

the extremely small doses of medicines used.

Most clinical research conducted on homeopathic medicines that has been

published in peer-review journals have shown positive clinical results,(3, 4)

especially in the treatment of respiratory allergies (5, 6), influenza, (7)

fibromyalgia, (8, 9) rheumatoid arthritis, (10) childhood diarrhea, (11)

post-surgical abdominal surgery recovery, (12) attention deficit disorder, (13)

and reduction in the side effects of conventional cancer treatments. (14) In

addition to clinical trials, several hundred basic science studies have

confirmed the biological activity of homeopathic medicines. One type of basic

science trials, called in vitro studies, found 67 experiments (1/3 of them

replications) and nearly 3/4 of all replications were positive. (15, 16)
