Reply #68: Homeopathy is very hit and miss

[nuxvomica]

But if the right remedy for the condition (the similimum) is found, the effects can appear miraculous. There's no placebo effect involved -- I've seem the most remarkable results on animals. I'm very skeptical myself and I'm annoyed by the people that have made homeopathy just another New Age belief. It's essentially just a purely empirical approach to healing.

BTW, did you know that there is an official DC monument to Dr. Hahnemann? Thanks to Warren Harding's wife, whose homeopath may have been in some way responsible for Harding's death. But that's another story.
Take care, Forrest.
