Is Homeopathy Explained by the Placebo Effect?
Medical science is once again pounding on alternative medicine–that is, treatments and cures that science cannot or has not validated. But the fact remains that many people who chew on tree bark and quaff bitter-tasting concoctions swear that they work, and industries that are virtually unregulated happily supply the remedies and the lore and testimonials about how the latest potions are miracle cures for everything from cancer to acne.
Some of these treatments date back centuries to when shamans and healers discovered plants that seemed to alleviate disease. For instance, in old Europe, to relieve pain and reduce fever, physicians including Hippocrates gave patients a bitter powder…

1,800 Studies Later, Scientists Conclude Homeopathy Doesn’t Work
Perhaps you remember when scientists debunked homeopathy in 2002. Or 2010. Or 2014.

Medical care in the 21st century has become as high-touch as it has become high-tech. Self-care with homeopathic medicines, herbs, good nutrition and nutritional supplements, body therapies, yogic postures, and breathing exercises have become a regular part of most people’s lives.
Homeopathy – Dilute And Heal
Pharmaceutical and herbal medicines both operate under the notion that more is more; whether it's aspirin, Prozac, or Echinacea, the more milligrams per dose, the quicker the cure. Not so in homeopathy. The "law of infinitesimals" states that the more you dilute a drug, the more potent it gets.
Should physicians and managed care organizations offer homeopathy
Even though homeopathy was “discovered” over 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, back in a time before Avogadro’s number had been determined, for some reason it has managed to live on into the 21st century. It was, in a way, understandable that homeopathy might persist throughout the 19th century.
The FDA and Homeopathy: Can the Agency Bring Medicine Out of the 1700s?
Homeopathic drugs are often diluted to such an extent that not even a single molecule of the supposed active ingredient remains in the product. It is impossible — if we accept modern science — for the “active” ingredients in these drugs to have any effect. In fact, most homeopathic products, if they are properly manufactured, are essentially inert, which helps explain why the FDA has ignored them...
What Homeopathic Medicine Offers to People
