what exactly is Homeopathy does it work and what does the science [Music] say Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine created in the late 18th century by the German Doctor Samuel hanaman there are three basic principles of Homeopathy the first is that like cures like that a substance taken in small amounts will cure the same symptoms it causes if it were taken in larger amounts so for example if you're having trouble sleeping then taking a stimulant like caffeine will help the second dilution is perhaps the most well-known aspect of Homeopathy The Chosen substance is repeatedly diluted in alcohol or distilled water until very little or none of the original substance is left according to homeopaths this makes the substance more powerful or gives the substance a higher potency the third principle cussion describes the method of vigorously shaking the substance each time it is diluted this shaking is supposed to help the water retain the memory or vibrations of the original substance during the dilution process let's look at each of these a bit more closely the first principle that like cures like was based on hanan's own observation reflection and experience however there is no scientific evidence to support or back up this claim the second principle dilution is perhaps the most problematic the typical homeopathic dilution is 30 C this means that the original substance has been diluted by one drop in 100 30 times over or to put it another way a dilution of 1 in 10 the 60th this is one part per million million million million million million million million million million in comparison there are only around this this many molecules of water in an olympic size swimming pool a 30C dilution would be the equivalent of one molecule of substance in a sphere of water with a diameter of 150 million km which happens to be the distance from the Earth to the sun some homeopathic remedies have a dilution of 200 C which is more than the total amount of atoms in the universe how do homeopaths respond to these criticisms this is where the third principle comes in succussion they argue that the vigorous shaking and striking of the substance on an elastic or lever surface not only makes it more potent also allows the water to retain a memory of the original substance while it is true that water molecules will form structures around a molecule dissolved in them at room temperature the everyday random motion of water molecules means that these structures are very shortlived with lifetimes measured in Pico seconds or even less this is further problematic when you consider that any water will have been in contact with millions of different substances throughout its history how does the water forget these substances but remember only the homeopathic one despite all this homeopathic medicine is incredibly popular today with many people claiming that it has helped cure them of some illness this can be explained by a number of things such as the placebo effect regression to the mean or simply the body naturally healing itself over time but what does the science say the 200 5 metaanalysis of 110 Placebo controlled Homeopathy trials concluded that Homeopathy performs no better than Placebo the American Medical Association the UK's National Health Service and the national health and medical research Council of Australia have all issued statements that there is no good quality evidence that Homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition thanks for watching if you enjoyed this video and want to learn about other examples of dodgy science then check out the book bad science by Ben goldacre I'll leave a link down in the description if you want to help support this channel then you can subscribe by clicking here and you can check out my previous video on Achilles in the toris by clicking here see you next time

  1. my whole life

    all of it

    so far

    my self esteem and sense of self worth

    have been brutally viciously violently covertly subtly

    raped out of me

    how to heal now?

    how to undo the damage?

  2. Like cures like, no evidence? Isn't the whole principle of vaccination based on this? The body's reaction to a tiny exposure to the disease makes it more likely to resist it? 🤔

  3. My whole family was suffering from mygrain, homeopathy cure them all for lifetime! So i have a special respect for it

  4. Since the video is telling us to "trust their science", it means it obviously works. Why make a video proclaiming homeopathy to be dodgy science? Personally, my mother, a nurse, introduced me to homeopathy when my babies were born. Used it for my colicky ones, and it worked instantly. The same on our farm. Our animals didn't know it was just a placebo effect. Homeopathic phosphorus saved our dog from bleeding to death and brought animals out of shock. As for my house, we will continue trusting homeopathy. 😊

  5. Homeopathy does work!

  6. In other words, it’s bullshit.

  7. Utter BS, If it worked, it would be call medicine.

  8. homeopathy is a big fat phony😡🤬

  9. This video is prob funded by big pharma. Homeopathic medicine had cured things for me that conventional medicine couldn’t. It literally has worked so well for me compared to conventional medicine. So many lies being spread. It literally cures the problem. But big pharma would lose all their customers if everyone used homeopathics.

  10. Regrettably the Canadian government has decided that in order to regulate homeopathic products, they must approve their use. So thousands of homeopathic products have been rubber-stamped by Health Canada.
    Personally I'd love to see homeopaths take a dozen "remedies" with the labels torn off and sort them back out. They wouldn't be able to of course, as it's all complete baloney!

  11. Isn't Vaccination part of homeopathy as like cures like allopathy sucks

  12. @sim star is on the top in all homeopathy videos. Like he's getting any funding for this.😆

  13. Japanese doctor masaru empto that proved water has a memory this is a fact and if not true then homeopathy can not work.

  14. I can only speak for myself but I have used it countless times with different ailments and I have had positive results every time.

  15. I like this! Very well explained!

  16. This video is full of lies. They did not use the least amount of substance to help people get better. Research!

  17. Main stream science talks like god that they know everything 😂, but in reality they don't know and in my own personal experience homoeopathy works wonderful. ✨️

  18. ☺️dilution actually work like antibiotics prepared in the lab. we have to conduct so many researches on homiopathic medicine.homiopathy is like to chemistry.we have to add some exceptions and modern medicine in homiopathy 🤔🤩

  19. But what about the actual substance itself? When you look at the ingredients in anything homeopathic there are like ten ingredients I’ve never heard of.. and are in most homeopathic products.. what are they?

  20. If homeopathic has a placebo effect then how does it work so well with babies. Nelson teething granules and helios ABC is a popular remedy for teething symptoms. It was the only thing that worked on my baby.

  21. For those who call it just placebo effect
    How does it works for babies and children?

  22. Homoeopathy work better than any pathy…. It is great medicine.

  23. It’s just quackery ! The only good thing about Homeopathy is being used as a placebo, an expensive placebo at that.

  24. The three boards who made a judgement on efficacy of Homeopathy, ie AMA, NHS, NHMRC primarily follow Allopathy. Obviously they don't encourage other systems of medicines 😂

  25. This is more than a placebo,how we humans chose to be fixated on our own limiting beliefs, to think how Little we really are in this vast unlimited universe that we can't even summarize, truth is we are just a speck in this Universe, to have a giant ego containing limiting beliefs and all, * Magic exist to those who believes✨😉

  26. Doesn't it work for animals? Is that just placebo?

  27. Those who are saying homoeopathy is not Placebo effect it worked on their baby or dogs , let me give you some basics animals have healing system you re underestimating human power , don't get stuck in medicines their is a world out there without it

  28. I just took one for restless legs wtf it worked im so relaxed

  29. Homeopathic medicine really work I was suffering central sentization it means pin and neddle like pain accours in your arm and face I m fully cured I don't know what people say about homeopathic but in my case it work root cause

  30. Homeopathy makes wonders….When you don't get cured, it is because of improper analysis of the doctor and not the whole homeopathic system. And people talking about placebo effect, The white pills used for giving medicines is empty, but medicinal dilutions prepared using alcohol are added to the empty pills, so they DO cure patients. To those asking for scientific proofs, why does science top homeopathy? Why is space and its planets are being respected even though science couldn't explain clearly about them, and homeopathy is degraded? Lets give science some time to improve and provide proof on how homeopathy cures people… Don't underestimate homeopathy before that!

  31. Yet the NHS spend millions on it a year? Also native Americans have used herbal medicine for 100’s of years and a lot lived beyond the estimated living age of men and women from the UK and the US.

  32. I have used Homeopathic medicine for 50 years and it has always worked very well for me. However Homeopathic medicine has a protocol that has to be followed, such as do not take with Caffeine or Mint or other things like strong oils, which can cancel it.
    I looked up Homeopathic medicine on Wikipedia and they say it is a Pseudo-Science, but then I am very much aware of some of the errors published on Wikipedia. I am a Metallurgist, Precious Metal Refiner and Assayer and I know my Elements very well and when I looked up info on Fe 60 on Wikipedia, it was easy for me to see many errors published by them. I wonder if they also do this in areas where I am not as knowledgeable??

  33. Why is there so many people who supposedly truly believe in homeopathy watching a video that actually proves it does nothing?

  34. Amusing comments, homeopathy must've made it's way aroud to being the latest fav of Indian scammers? lol

  35. = Healings 2022=
    =Me & My biologic mom

  36. Homeopathy medicine are best and without any side effects or harm to your body, it's also very safe to use. Try it then believe it.

  37. What the fuck are you talking .. homeopathy does not work…I did not konw that homeopathy does not work…my whole family is dependent on homeopathy …I have severe infection inside my ear in 2010 .. homeopathy cure that problem ..till 2022 date it never recur….there are many things which were cured by homeopathy …now I am taking homeo for IBS problem ..I am gradually become better day by day … science can not prove all things..even science says ayurvedic does not work ..I have seen many thing which are cured by ayurvedic

  38. India has a separate ministry 😂.

  39. No scientific organisation considers it a science.

    “The principles of homeopathy contradict known chemical, physical and biological laws and persuasive scientific trials proving its effectiveness are not available”

    Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia

    “Homeopathy should not be used to treat health conditions that are chronic, serious, or could become serious. People who choose homeopathy may put their health at risk if they reject or delay treatments for which there is good evidence for safety and effectiveness.”

    National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia

    “These products are not supported by scientific evidence.”

    Health Canada, Canada

    “Homeopathic remedies don’t meet the criteria of evidence based medicine.”

    Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary

    “The incorporation of anthroposophical and homeopathic products in the Swedish directive on medicinal products would run counter to several of the fundamental principles regarding medicinal products and evidence-based medicine.”

    Swedish Academy of Sciences, Sweden

    “We recommend parents and caregivers not give homeopathic teething tablets and gels to children and seek advice from their health care professional for safe alternatives.”

    Food and Drug Administration, USA

    “There is little evidence to support homeopathy as an effective treatment for any specific condition”

    National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health, USA

    “There is no good-quality evidence that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition”

    National Health Service, UK

    “Homeopathic remedies perform no better than placebos, and that the principles on which homeopathy is based are “scientifically implausible””

    House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, UK

  40. Than you should have to try arsenic album 1m homeopathic medicine at night only 1 dose …you will found the evidence.

  41. 🔴Homeopathy is personalised or individualised nanomedicine…if you people read article about arsenic album then you'll find arsenic nanoparticles are showing their tremendous activity… Homeopathy is a revolutionary science beyond its time.. Researchers are doing good work please find some real articles..not the hate one

  42. If every person only knew the "truth" the world would be a different place. The mainstream medical system is only interested in making money. I was sick for 20 years and ended up praying to God since I could get no help at all from doctors. So this is what God's answer was for me.. He directed me to the truth where I discovered documentaries that explained to me how a disease called Lyme disease is responsible for many illnesses but due to financial incentives the vast majority of doctors will not or can not diagnose or treat Lyme disease due to rules laid out by the CDC. People like myself then live their lives very ill and in pain basically left to suffer and die from this bacterial infection. So then God directed me to a natropath and the natropath insisted that I try homeopathy for Lyme and babesia even though I had no faith homeopathy would work.. WELL NOW I'M ON MY WAY TO BEING CURED EVERY DAY I'M GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meanwhile the medical system spreads lies and tries to BREAK people's faith and belief in any other medicine other than their toxic posion drugs so they remain chained to their disease and broke paying for perscriptions that cost mind boggling amounts! I'm the living PROOF that homeopathy works, their spreading lies to make people have no faith it will work, keeping people sick and chained. I'm a testimony of Gods miracles and the truth in a world that is in the dark.
