Homeopathy had No Place in Pharmacy: Canadian Pharmacist

[longship]

30. Homeopath supporters first have to explain how it works.

The three homeopathic principles:

1. Like cures like. Rubbish! This goes against everything we know.

2. The more dilute, the stronger the effect. Utter tosh! There's this thing called dose-response, which is a principle so-called alternative medicine adherents tend to ignore. Plus, then there's Avagadro's limit, which Hahnemann knew nothing about when he invented homeopathy out of whole cloth.

3. Succussion. Don't you just love AltMed jargon? Made up words to describe made up modalities. In this case, it means "elastic collisions" which has meaning in physics, but has absolutely no meaning to efficacy of putative medications.

Homeopathy does not work because it cannot work. And, of course, this is precisely what the body of medical research shows.

It is unethical to even study homeopathy let alone prescribe it.
