Amy,
As an environmental activist, you should be aware that
homeopathy is a green medicine.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. Homeopathy is not "green" and it is no medicine. Homeopathy is only poisoning people.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only is its safety record exponentially superior to that of conventional medicine,
but also from “soup to nuts” it is a far cleaner and less environmentally toxic form of treatment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [1] Killing time and money, poisoning patients, is BY FAR not superior to effective treatments. Homeopathy is not effective. It is a fraud.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not only is its safety record exponentially superior to that of conventional medicine,

[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [2] A great number of "homeopathic remedies" contain very dangerous chemicals, mercury compounds being some of the ones used very often AND used in high concentrations. The same is true for arsenic. Cases of death were caused by such poisons.
Here is an arsenic poisoning mentioned:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conventional medicines (used according to the “standard of care”) are responsible for more than 100,000 deaths annually in the US alone. According to testimony provided directly to the FDA by the Poison Control Centers of America, homeopathy is extremely safe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [3] "Conventional" medicines DO HAVE pharmaceutical properties, and, because of this, these properties can cause adverse reactions, which in most cases is NOT the fault of the medicine, but caused by a mistake by the medical doctor applying it.
The claim, that homeopathy is "extremely safe", is a lie, because it ignores the neglect done to the patients.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your statement that homeopathy sounds “just like witchcraft” is, sadly, an opinion bereft of fact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [4] Homeopathy IS BASED ON WITHCRAFT. Just look at Hahnemann's statements about the magical powers of beating the bottle against a leather-clad book to make the remedy more effective.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your comparison of homeopathy and witchcraft harkens us back to a time in our national history when ignorance and superstition were wielded as weapons of oppression.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [5] Homeopaths TODAY still try to oppress their critics.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accusations of witchcraft tend to reflect more on the educational status of the accuser rather than on the merits of the accused.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [6] If Ronald D. Whitmont would have read the organon, he would know about Hahnemann's claims. So it is Ronald D. Whitmont who is and ignorant. And he is a liar.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Remember that the terms “witch” and “witchcraft” were historically used as propaganda to destroy those who were hated and feared out of ignorance.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [7] Just some sentences before, Ronald D. Whitmont engaged in lies and propaganda against scientific medicine. One example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Branding a practice “witchcraft” is a time-honored method of inciting fear and irrational behavior instead of utilizing reason, logic and science. Is this really the argument that you wish to employ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [8] And telling lies and seeding fear is THE main occupation of homeopaths. Ronald D. Whitmont in his article delivers a ton of lies.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The US FDA is currently engaged in the process of re-evaluating their policies and regulatory activities with regard to over the counter (OTC) homeopathic medicines. These policies are not perfect, but no policies ever are. The FDA is not questioning the efficacy of homeopathic medicine in general, nor are they conducting a “witch hunt”, which you seem to be advocating.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [9] The FDA must clear out dangerous shit, like homeopathy. Homeopathy is fraud.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the past, the FDA has acted swiftly to remove certain products from the market if they have not been in compliance with the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (HPUS).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [10] The FDA was much too tolerant and too soft about homeopathy. The FDA must ban it.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The use of “homeopathic shark cartilage” may be one of those products requiring attention, since
shark cartilage has not been registered by the HPUS nor am I aware of any homeopathic physicians who utilize it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie [11] by misleading into an irrelevant direction.
Whether or not shark cartilage is registered is irrelevant. The questions is: WHAT IS SOLD?

[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Homeopathy has a robust 200-year (plus) history of worldwide use.

So has armed robbery. But it is, like homeopathy, a crime. So, Whitmont tells a lie. [13]
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is an integral part of the public health services of many nations (most of whom happen to have far superior health indices and outcomes than we have here in the US).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [14] That, say, homeopathy is not expressly forbidden in Germany, and that health insurance companies defraud their clients by selling them homeopathy, does in no way show that the efficacy of the health care system gets its efficacy from homeopathy.
Facts is: efficacious health care systems get their efficacy from effective medicament. And homeopathy is totally useless and ineffective shit.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Could these differences be purely the result of coincidence or does the use of homeopathy by these nations possibly contribute to the outcome benefits?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [14] It is part of a rhetorical trap. Reason: see above.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epidemiologists have looked into these questions, and a recent Swiss study concluded that homeopathy does contribute to improvements in public health.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [15] The homeopaths despite knowing the clear facts lie about the Swiss paper.
Here is an in depth analysis of what REALLY was done in Switzerland:
"That ‘neutral’ Swiss homeopathy report"
Published Wednesday 09 May 2012 | By Zeno
"What does the Swiss Government really think about homeopathy?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postscript
01 November 2013
Some six months after we published this and after more articles by homeopathists lauding this ‘Swiss Government Report’ as the last word on the scientific evidence for homeopathy, an official of the Swiss Government wrote to the Swiss Medical Weekly to correct many of their errors.
It was then that we realised that we couldn’t trust homeopaths to even get the title of the report correct. As Felix Gurtner of the Federal Office of Public Health FOPH, Health and Accident Insurance Directorate in Bern, Switzerland, had to point out:
[***QUOTE***]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This review was declared to be an HTA by the authors (the final PEK [5] report does not classify the literature reviews as HTA reports) and published later as a book [7] under their responsibility without any consent of the Swiss government or administration. [Original reference numbers]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[***/QUOTE***]
So now we know: their ‘book’ wasn’t an HTA after all, just a biased and limited ‘literature review’ that was not even published by the Swiss Government or with their permission.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
Let's go on.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Study after study (using randomized placebo controlled double blinded state of the art trials) and meta-analyses of homeopathic treatment in all human age groups, in animals, in agriculture and in the laboratory, demonstrate the effectiveness of homeopathy over placebo, but “skeptics” (sometimes paid and unpaid representatives of the pharmaceutical industry) all seem to get lost in a witch hunt of propaganda and distraction similar to yours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [16] If it is a state of the art study, then is shows that homeopathy does NOT work.
It is one more lie: by writing
"Study after study", Ronald D. Whitmont claims that and endless row of studies one after the other showed that homeopathy is effective. No, it is not. Most of the studies are utter crap and the figures are forged, made up or the study design was made to lead to the wrong result of homeopathy being effective.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even when studies result in unequivocally positive results in favor of homeopathy, they are met with denial and skepticism rather than an admission that there might be a system of medicine that works, even thought we don’t understand why.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [17] Homeopaths make up shitty studies, and so their crap is debunked. It is as easy as that.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Study after study has found homeopathy to be safe, and frequently more effective than conventional medical polypharmacy in the treatment of numerous acute and chronic health conditions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [18] All the stuff about homeopathy being safe is a lie. And if some "scientists" babble the same stuff over and over again, the still do not make homeopathy safe.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This work has been verified through large and small investigations throughout the world. Yet the US scientific community remains silent. Why is that?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [19] There is no verification. And if some homeopaths help their pals by claiming that homeopathy is safe or that it is effective, that is nothing else by partnering in crime.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Homeopathic OTC medicines (just like their conventional counterparts) are meant to be used only in “self-limited, and non-life threatening conditions”.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [20] A crucial part of the lie is hat the OTC products are the ones with lower concentrations, so so these products do have pharmaceutical properties.
Also, the OTC products are only a part of the crimes. See next point:
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Individuals living with cancer and other serious illnesses should always strive to educate themselves and to research all their medicines and supplements (not just the alternative ones). Serious, life-threatening conditions should always be managed in consultation with skilled, trained and licensed homeopathic (and conventional) health care providers, who are experts in their fields.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
This is several lies. [21] One is the pro domo pushing towards people should go to licensed (WATCH IT!) homeopaths. But homeopaths, as can be seen with Ronald D. Whitmont as an example, are stupid nuts, and rotten liars. With respect to scientific medicine they are insanely ignorant frauds.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may believe that “as far as I'm concerned, homeopathy falls into the same category as all unproven supplements and herbal "medicine"”, but this statement belies the fact that you have failed to familiarize yourself with the existing science of homeopathy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*/QUOTE*]
That is a lie. [22] Homeopathy does not have ANY science. Homeopathy is lies and fraud. And, of course, homeopathy is not herbal medicine. It is industrial BIG CHEMISTRY.
[*QUOTE*]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may believe that it is much easier to remain ignorant of the facts and of the science of homeopathy than it is to dig a little deeper beyond the rhetoric, and actually to look at the data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is bullshit. And a lie. [23]
