Essay talk:Another Homeopathic Convert
Wow, just wow.
- Science was wrong before
- Just have an open mind
- Just because we have no evidence doesn't mean we have no evidence.
This is classic pseudoscience apologism. Hits all the easy low points. Look guy or gal, it's not that "homeopathy can't be proven to work" it's that every attempt to test it shows it's no better than lying to your patient about treating them. We have lots of evidence, and that evidence says "Homeopathy achieves nothing" with the couple of excepts like actively killing people or ruining their sense of smell, because it's unregulated garbage. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 16:27, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- It's worse than that - homeopathy - like lots of 'alternative medicine' - kills. There are far too many who reach for "magic potions" while rejecting sound science and end up not receiving treatment for curable ailments. This is not just bad, it's evil.

- And this seems like a harsh tone, so let me express genuine concern for your welfare, Joan. Homeopathy isn't just "evil" or whatever, but trusting it can be dangerous. Please, for your own health(and your family's if you have one) please reconsider embracing homeopathy on a "you never know" basis. ikanreed You probably didn't deserve that 16:35, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- I like how in one sentence you claim "it takes a very skilled practitioner to diagnose and help a person heal", and in the next one you say you're lucky to have chosen the right one correctly. Did you consider the possibility that you chose wrong, and it's implications? Super Dude,What does mine say? Sweet! 17:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- Dear Joan: Please give this video a watch, all the way through, and then give me some sort of coherent explanation as to how a substance-to-water ratio best expressed in literal astronomical terms is anything but water. Maxus (talk) 17:45, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I am converted. If I get hit by a car I am using crystals and some bits of the car that hit me diluted in water instead of going to an ER. It is sure to cure my broken bones and internal injuries. -EmeraldCityWanderer (talk) 17:44, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
