    Vaccines have nothing in common with homeopathy.

    Vaccines are a preventive measure that expose your immune system to small amount of pathogens, their toxins or small parts of their genetic code (mRNA vaccines) to build up immunity and prevent or lessen future infections. Their effects are proven in multiple studies and meta studies.

    Homeopathy is quackery that dilutes organic or anorganic materials (that randomly got associated with symptoms, e.g. Berlin Wall against binding problems) to infinity to treat an existing condition.
    Every high-quality scientific study leads to the realisation that Homeopathy doesn’t act beyond placebo effects.

      Homeopathy is a treatment that uses a stressor or pathogen to treat the same disease caused by that stressor or pathogen.

        This is the bullshit homeopathy tells since the beginning.
        If true homeopaths would offer you influenza globuli against a flu but instead you get Aconitum napellus, an extremely poisonous flower.
        That’s poison is then watered down till there isn’t a single molecule of it left. Afterwards it is sprayed on globulis or further diluted in alcohol. But that’s okay because homeopathy believes in the “memory of water” that is complete nonsense on it’s own.

          It’s just a definition man no reason to get offended. It’s differentiated from allopathy which is medicine which uses a disease vector’s opposite to treat the disease.

            But the definition is made up nonsense. The Simile principle and the definition of allopathy as opposite of a disease vector are false. The only active agents that could be defined as such opposites are antibiotics and virustatics.

            Alternative medicine kills, every day. So being scientific correct has nothing to do with being offended.

              Yeah those are definitely allopathic medicine, as I understand it. Any kind of anti-inflammatory in response to inflammation, an ice pack on the head in response to a fever, drugs to reduce blood pressure in response to high blood pressure, most medicine is allopathic. I could be totally wrong about that it’s been 20 years since I learned that definition I think.

              I’d say among other homeopathic remedies are exposure therapy, and weights or unstable platforms used in physical therapy. You treat a disease by giving the person little bits of that disease to target and fight against, to enhance the fight against the main disease.
