Although it might seem, the 10:23 campaign is not directed at all homeopaths. Well, yes, it is aimed more against homeopaths, but I meant that its purpose is to inform the media and the general public. The homeopathy behaves exactly like a religion, and although not used to treat any disease, it does seem to be highly effective at immunizing against any kind of reasoning, so engage in a discussion with them is totally useless. However, it should take into account the objections that will be putting our " suicide" to go on notice.
The first is that homeopathic overdose does not hurt because its effect does not depend on the dose, but the "power" of the remedy. Which is hard to refute: the dose is an objective fact and measurable and the "power" no longer a magical idea without any real foundation. If homeopaths say that a remedy 30CH is much more powerful than a remedy 20CH not going to get it down the donkey, although even they are able to distinguish one from another without looking at the label. But it does not matter, because if you think about it so that the dose is irrelevant is a reinforcement of what we have to say in the campaign: if it were a truth drug itself that should be taken into account the proper dosage and that do not have to worry about it just shows that homeopathic remedies contain only water and sugar.
Moreover, if the dose is irrelevant, why sell the medicine in doses? Why is that one or two tablets taken daily and not Sedatif average, a quarter or just take a look and re-save it for another day? Are they cheating their customers with the pack of six tubes "dose" of Oscillococcinum when, if what you say is true, enough to take a pellet?
A variant of the "argument above is that homeopathy only produce effects if taken regularly, not once. In theory, if we take a whole container at once is not going to pass anything, but if you take a pill daily for a couple of weeks will give us a patatús or something. Return later to this.
Another objection to the "suicide" is to say that we do not overdose no effect for homeopathic remedies have no effect on healthy people. This is, again, nonsense that turns against them: no substance is so "smart" enough to know when to take effect and when not to, especially in overdose, and is already intending to create in the "memory of water" to make us swallow also has "good will" and "spirit minded. " But this argument is also untenable from the standpoint of homeopathic theory itself: to "prove" the effects of a remedy, homeopaths use what they call, filling his mouth, "pathogenetic tests, which are to supply the product to healthy people so that they indicate the symptoms they experience. We know that homeopaths have a rather elastic concept of reality, but here is little to discuss (or twist) or are absorbed by healthy people, and therefore what we should have done, or do not, and all the mounting "evidence pathogenesis" is dropped.
In fact, the issue of "pathogenetic evidence" to leave in question the argument that it is necessary to continue ongoing treatment in time to that homeopathy has effects: according to data published homeopaths themselves, the test subjects experience the effects of the drug from the first shot, or even before, in some published evidence subject realizes that they have started to experience symptoms when you touch the bottle or even while they were still preparing the potions.
Overall, it appears that the only more or less robust response we can expect of homeopaths is telling us in this entry Site ABC Homeopathy, which with good sense of humor (something unusual in the world of magical beliefs), we wished "good luck" for our "suicide." Ironically, the best joke of the entrance was probably unintentional, when we explained that after the "overdose" would happen to us one of three things:

- would not notice anything at all
- would experience adverse symptoms or
- symptoms would experience beneficial.
Come on, what is said to bet on the winning horse, right?
In fact, the underlying thesis of ABC homeopathy is that homeopathic treatments must satisfy not only the symptoms but also to the person, so it is very difficult that we were right with one that matches our personality. Personality is defined by the way, for a number of parameters as unintentionally humorous as the color of hair, more or less likely to dirty clothes, the degree of sweating in our underarms or our musical tastes. Yes, seriously.
But leaving that aside, the problem of ABC Homeopathy's contention is that it is, once again, a monumental stone against his own roof. If homeopathic remedies must exactly match the personality of patients (defined personality of its peculiar way, of course), manufacture of medicines on an industrial scale and counter-counter meaningless. In fact, one could hardly go to that so relieved of "works for me" if you have taken a product purchased at a pharmacy without first going through a homeopath who has been subjected to lengthy interrogation with questions so stupid and irrelevant as your favorite color, whether you dream often storms or what line to take the seat at the table to eat.
