Answer: Homeopathy be invented 200 years ago, at a time when medicine was still contained by it's pre-scientific phase. At the time, it probably WAS safer than being bled or purged etc.
It is based on two unproven and implausible notions, that "resembling cures like" (so give caffeine to treat insomnia) and that things get more potent as they are diluted. Homeopathy violate the laws of chemistry and physics that have be discovered since its invention.
The standard dilutions used ensure that there is no likelihood of any of the chemical gone in the treatment. It is essentially a placebo. They claim that the water have a magical memory. Again this is implausible as it posits a supernatural explanation
Homeopathy is an elaborate delusion, activate the well known and scientifically explained placebo response. Like almost adjectives so called alternative medicine (SCAM) it is more of a religious belief than anything else. It's adherent consist of the "walking well" and people with psychosomatic disorders who soak up the attention that us doctors are too busy to give them.
It is fraudulent and dangerous to suggest homeopathy can cure malaria.or anything else for that concern..
Interestingly enough Sammuel Hahnemann, the German physician and father of homeopathy, got the germ of his "idea" from translating an article on the use of quinine within treating malaria in the early 19th century.
Quinine have been used for treating malaria for over 100 years. In the traditional medical world quinine has be used to treat the symptoms of malaria, in homeopathy a more definite "cure" is the aspiration..
Yes I believe in homoeopathy. I had an lower than active thyroid, I took conventional medication and I sort help from my doctor and a professor who specialised contained by this field.
I could hardly amble without support and I was extremely tired. Eventually I be told that I would never get any better.
I found a homoeopath who does telephone consultations. He is a homeotoxicologist and mixes several remedies into one tablet. After around a month I was well again.
Apart from Princess Margaret, adjectives of the Royal Family have lived long and healthy lives and they use homoeopathic treatments. Princess Margaret, smoked, drank and I reckon took other drugs which shortened her life. Consider how many intellegent allopathic folks are available to advise the Royal Family, however their first choice is homeopathy.
Incidently, there are homeopathic nozodes to prevent malaria.
Jay Guy. Can you believe where the funds would come from to prove the efficacy of homoeopathy. Drug companies make fortunes from their products and the senate makes millions in taxes from drugs. It will never be contained by the drug companies interests to use homoeopathy, they criticise simply because they want to continue making vast profits.
Joe W. Get concrete, homoeopathic preparations are not made by simply dropping something in water. Tinctures are made by experts within this field.
Darlene. This is interesting, however this was not a homoeopathic treatment.
Don. Please don't communicate my dogs or any babies that you know that this is a placebo..
There is a million dollar prize waiting for anyone who can prove homeopathy works. (See The Amazing Randi, he's had this prize on offer for comparatively a few years now.)
You'd think near a million dollars waiting, quite a few people would be inside layer up for the prize. Oddly no-one has yet won it...
It is completely irresponsible to recommend it as a treatment for malaria, or indeed for any condition other than "I have too much money surrounded by my wallet, please help separate me from some of it".
That said... a chemist set out to debunk the basic principle of "memory contained by water" and found some troubling results. They repeated their tests several times and eventually published because they thought others should try to repeat the tests. Now that's flawless science, publishing even when you got the result opposite to the one you considered necessary! (Funny how the homeopathy people won't do that though...)
If homeopathy worked, a terrorist could put a single multivitamin pill in a city's hose supply and give everyone every vitamine deficiency disease that exists!!.
Not single have there be hundreds of research studies which consistently prove that homeopathy doesn't work (except as a placebo); there have even be meta-studies collating all the evidence from these studies - and again they show, without any doubt, that HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES DON'T WORK. EVER.
See Ben Goldacre's "Bad Science" site http://www.badscience.net/?p=578 I don't know more or less the treatment of malaria never had the need to treat it.

I use herb to treat 90% of my medical problems

And have done so for 35 years now

I am a herbologist

That's really what it comes down to - belief.
It's a belief system, not science or drug.
In fact, the blind faith and crazy beliefs of homeopathy's followers make it more like a religion..
It's a codswallop of course but some otherwise outwardly sane people are prepared to spend fortunes on it

Certainly. I recommend it contained by all acute cases of Rabies as well. Actually you can prevent both Malaria and Rabies by wearing a amulet infused near homeopathics around your neck. Homeopathy cannot cure anything, it is a placebo..
no it seems to be no different after a nature-path and I've had experience allot different treatments for my disease only medication where strong enough to backing
drugs company's would be using this stuff making more money if they really worked.
Yeah! I believe in Homeopathy because my mom swears by it! Nah! I wouldn't recommend it as a treatment for Malaria! I believe in some cases it is extremely apt
As far as malaria goes NO there are some things that inevitability today's medicines.
I don't know about it treating malaria..but anything that we believe will cause us better is worth trying (well anything safe)
if it helps with mind over concern then its good.
It is crooked to recommend it as a treatment for Malaria.
Whoever does that should be in court.
