Debunking the Myths: The Truth About Homeopathy
Last night, I tuned into LBC radio to listen to a debate on homeopathy. Unsurprisingly, the presenter made no secret of his scepticism—he was outright dismissive. The guest? A doctor who echoed the same critical tone.
Time and again, these objections are wheeled out as if they’re definitive. But they’re not. Below, I’ve outlined the most common sceptic mantras—and the rational, evidence-based responses that challenge them.
1. “Homeopathy can’t possibly work. It doesn’t make logical sense.”
Response:
There is a growing body of research into micro-dilutions showing measurable effects in laboratory settings. Just because we don’t yet fully understand the mechanism doesn’t mean the phenomenon doesn’t exist. Science evolves—so should our openness to new paradigms.
2. “There’s no good scientific evidence that homeopathy works.”
Response:
That’s simply not true. Numerous peer-reviewed studies published in reputable scientific journals support the effectiveness of homeopathy. The Homeopathy Research Institute (HRI Research) is a great resource for exploring this data. The lack of funding isn’t due to lack of efficacy—it’s because there’s little financial incentive. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, homeopathy can’t be patented and exploited for massive profit.
3. “Homeopathy is just a placebo.”
Response:
Placebo does play a role inall medical treatment. But homeopathy goes beyond that. Here’s why:
Animals respond to homeopathy. Many vets successfully treat pets and livestock exclusively with homeopathic remedies. Interestingly, cattle with mastitis that would normally be treated by antibiotics, leading to weeks of no milk production, are instantly back in the milk cycle following non-toxic homeopathic treatement.
Babies and comatose patients have shown improvement under homeopathic care—both unlikely candidates for placebo response.
Wrong remedy = no effect. If it were just placebo, any remedy would work. But results only come with the correct one.
Sceptics get results. I recently treated a man whose parents sent him reluctantly. He experienced a dramatic improvement—“like night and day”—yet remained sceptical!
Homeopathy has over 200 years of documented success. It’s trusted by over 400 million people globally. Are all of them deluded? Or might they be onto something?
