View Results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, based on his doctrine of like cures like (similia similibus curentur), a claim that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people. Also for people that do believe it is legit, do you live in the US? --- http://i.imgur.com/O3syCWD.gif http://i.imgur.com/k3YiBdG.gif <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:884075732] in Do you bel...

I mean there was a time that using leaches and maggots were medicine, then they were quackery, then they were alternative medicine, then they are medicine. Yes, but leeches, at least are not used for the same purpose that they were then. They are now used for their vasodilation properties in cases where bloodflow has been identified as restricted. This was after research. Usually, more conventional methods are used. Leech therapy is rare. Homeopathy has been tested thoroughly and does not have any basis in science, in physics, in medicine, or in reality. A substance cannot be more potent when "diluted" completely out of existence, nor does water have "memory" of things dissolved in it. --- ~Drewnami: The Drew abides.~ Gonads are useful for their purpose, but they are no substitute for brains. -Paul Harvey <cite>The23rdMagus posted [p:884077704] in Do you bel...
