This is a normal post I posted an satirical Homeopathy link on the other internet once
and was disappointed to discover many of my circle of friends either come up with the "Just because we don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't work" argument or the slightly less ridiculous but still stupid comment of "My brother/sister etc. has *insert problem here* and homeopathy worked for them"

This is a normal post I'd argue that the
"Just because we don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't work" argument (#1) is actually less ridiculous than the "My brother/sister etc. has *insert problem here* and homeopathy worked for them" (#2).

The reason being that #1 is logically sound, but irrelevant. That argument is technically right: homeopathy ISN'T bullshit because of their flawed understanding... it's bullshit because studies have shown that it doesn't work.

#2, however, is just hearsay, with no logical postulates whatsoever.

This is a normal post homephathy = placebo
it DOES work for those fools who believe on it.
and it can't be refuted by science until science can explain the placebo effect workings.

This is a normal post Placebos don't work unless the problem is psychological, i.e. stress related etc.
No amount of placebo is going to cure cancer.

This is a normal post there is genuinely lots of shit that we as a species don't know
but we do know that homeopathy doesn't work.
