Homeopathy on the NHS

[worm]

Too much time going round in circles getting fucking nowhere confronted by the belligerent defense of one man's fucking position. You kill discussion Neil. You won't let it advance. You let as much of the issues and implications out as you'd like and then you stand firm, even at the cost of any intelligence you may have.

I'm done with this. I'm getting fuck all out of it.

Are you for fucking real!

yes.

For every "success" of homeopathy, there's an unnecessary death.

Or do you think that bad actions only have good consequences?

PMSL - so you standing firm with a moron point of view is letting the discussion progress is it?

Homoeopathy is a con, a lie, and causes people to die unnecessarily.

And you think that's a good thing.

Because a placebo, by definition, is nothing other than an effect. What it is doesn't matter. It can be anything. Your question is innane.

[Ed209]

It isn't quackery if it's effective!

You could call the entire counselling profession quackery, but it is effective.

Everything used by the NHS is based entirely upon outcome. It is all evidence based. It doesn't care what shite the people in it purport. It's simply the fact that it works. What are you failing to understand here? It's called pragmatism.

[Spartacus Mars]

And similarly, don't dismiss the deaths that are caused by those who put their belief in homeopathy but die when standard medicine might have saved them.

[eFestivals]

There is a difference between complementary medicine and alternative medicine, and certainly the homeopathy hospital I am aware of wouldn't enable or encourage someone to ignore actual medicine.

except by the fact that those homeopaths will be saying "we have a cure for you".

Or do they tell their patients that homeopathy is a worthless waste of time, as the facts get to prove?
