# Yes, I think it's accepted that psychology has an effect on heal rate.
That doesn't excuse spending millions on pounds on homeopathy.

# On that point, we differ.
I think it does excuse it.

# As far as I can see, if the same effect is created by cheaply and easily produced things like sugar pills,
there is no need to go down the route of homeopathy.
An interesting study would be to replace the prescriptions of a homeopathic department with pure water for a while,
and see if this has any effect on the patients.

# Nah
there's nothing wrong with this discussion. It's good-natured and it's among people who often post images on this forum.

# Gullible
The problem I have with this area is the quackery. I worked with a woman who had severe medical & mental problems who was fleeced thousands by 'alternative' practitioners. Every week she would tell us the latest theory of her illness and how her 'doctor' was treating her.

It was madness and expensive madness at that.

No denying the placebo/psy effects. Just not keen on the snake-oil sellers.
