Homeopathy Remedies – Do They Really Work?
Homeopathy remedies have been used for decades to help relieve symptoms caused by common ailments. There are many people who believe that homeopathy remedies are the only way to go. However, after scientific and clinical research reached the stage of being able to test these medical infusions it became questionable as to whether or not they actually worked and the medical practice of homeopathy became known as a pseudo science and an alternative rather than mainstream medical practice.
Reasons Why Homeopathy Remedies May Not Work
The reason why homeopathy remedies may not work is due to the dilution. Dilution is the essential process to creating homeopathy remedies. In order to create the medicinal infusion that is central to homeopathic medicine a person trained in this practice takes a compound of either herbs or medicines or a combination of both and then dilutes this compound, in a solution, usually of water.
The diluted mixture is then diluted over and over again as many as 12 times in order to create the final product. Scientific and clinical research has shown that by the time the dilution has been completed, the process has rendered a solution that is primarily inert. In other words, by the time the dilution process is over the original herbal compound has little to no place within the infusion.
As a result of this, it is nearly impossible to receive actual benefit from these types of medical practices. However, there are some individuals that do receive benefits from this type of alternative medical practice. There are a couple of reasons as to why some individuals receive benefits from these types of compounds. Primarily individuals who believe strongly in alternative medical practices can mentally create a positive result from the inert infusion because of their strong belief in its ability to assist them.
There are also some people who believe that the healing essence of the herbal compound is released into the solution through each one of the solutions and as a result, the compound is defective. These individuals also usually believe in the ability of energy manipulation to promote healing within the body. However, there is no scientific evidence to back the practice of homeopathy this is the reason why the practice has gone from being a primary source of medical knowledge and treatment to a pseudo science and alternative medical practice.
Nevertheless, always check with your primary care provider before beginning any new treatment.

Pseudo science hey! So, everyone who claims they have been cured by homeopathic treatment ‘imagined’ it. Presumably, that includes the recent Random Controlled Trial which looked at frogs and how they responded to receiving homeopathically prepared Thyroxine? Or the numerous studies which have looked at bacteria in a petri dish responding to homeopathic preparations.
It really is time the flat earth brigade moved on from asserting the long-disproved notion of homoepathy as placebo. Not only are there hundreds of trials performed over the past hundred years or so which show the effectiveness of the therapy, but it is mighty insulting to those of us who have been genuinely helped by it to be told that we are brainless dupes hoodwinked by manipulative quacks.
It is true that homeopathic remedies are diluted past the point at which traces of the original substance are no longer detectable in chemical analysis, but homeopathy (like much disease) is not all about chemistry. Most disease begins before the point at which it is chemically significant in a blood test, it is not surprising that cure should occur in this way also. It is time we moved past this pharmaceutical-industry-constructed idea that medicine and cure equals chemical manipulation (and disablement) of the bodies processes.
The reason that homeopathy fell from grace has nothing to do with lack of evidence and everything to do with the creation of the American Medical Association (AMA). After discovering how to synthesise aspirin in the 19th century, they gained power and influence and wanted to protect the interests and potential of their chemistry-based industry. They drove homeopathy underground by refusing to recognise doctors trained in homeopathic philosophy and penalising doctors who associated with homeopaths.
Since then, as the pharmaceutical industry has grown, homoepathy has been steadily eroded only to rise again in the last 50 years to greater prominence. And yet again, the powers that be are trying to discredit it.
Homeopathic remedies are cheap, safe, effective and cannot be patented. Of course they are a threat!
