Homeopathy: the "good", the bad and the false

Well, look: this will be a monograph of homeopathy until you pass the imminent homeopathic suicide. Placebocidio for the organization in Spain recommended to use potions Boiron Laboratories, Sedatif PC, a (presumed) a sedative and has been used on other occasions for the same reason . Well, with the same negative result that we have on Saturday.

The reasons why we have chosen the Sedatif are several. For instance contains (So \u200b\u200bto speak) toxic substances such as belladonna, aconite or marigold, a product that we really do guarantee a quick withdrawal of this vale of tears, but in small doses ... Well, we'll tell you on Saturday. This is also a product of Boiron, the multinational few months ago bought a chair at the University of Zaragoza , so it is particularly appropriate. But also we had to take account of a little known problem, but potentially very dangerous (and not just for us) in homeopathy there is also "good", the bad and the false.


Okay, yes, phrase is an allusion to the extraordinary book Martin Gardner. Actually it would be more correct to speak of genuine , the bad and the false. Let me explain.

As we all know (and if they do not, please accept my word subject matter expert) to prepare a homeopathic remedy basically consists of dissolving a substance (or not), take a portion of the mixture and dilute it back, take a portion of the resulting mixture and dilute again, and so on.

details may vary: you can use the Decimal or grads Hahnemann (part in nine and a part in ninety-nine, respectively) or the method ojimétrico Korsakov, for example. Although it is clear that to "energize" a homeopathic potions have to practice a "succussion" which is hitting the bottle against an object (preferably a leather-bound Bible, as Hahnemann), which is not clear is how many times to hit (or indeed, how hard or how often), an uncertainty that perplexes anyone who wants to delve into the procedure by which, supposedly, the elusive molecular structure of water acquires and preserves the memory of what had dissolved . The result is that there are those who hit seven times, or twelve, or forty or a hundred ... Nor should we forget those who prepare their remedies in view of astrological predictions or moon phases, used in a container or a suitable esoteric materials, etc., Etc., Etc.

But in the end, more or less shock and more or less antics these remedies are genuine are prepared in accordance with homeopathic remedies and rituals, at least in its initial phase distant, contained some active substance.

That's what's missing in bad . Yes, yes, do not be surprised, seeing that, after all, the only really necessary ingredient for homeopathic remedies is the ingenuity of the patients, some manufacturers have been tempted to skip all these laborious procedures and directly sell sugar pills, not "dynamic" or anything. The most sensational case occurred in Sweden in 1951, when it was discovered that two pharmaceutical companies (Pharma-Drog and Drogon) had been doing that mismito without, apparently, or homeopaths or their unsuspecting customers would have noticed.

The final thing to be stuck in a minimum sentence for those responsible, although, of course, Sweden was set up such a scandal, with public burnings of "miracle pills" provided, that even today the utilization rate homeopathy in this country is still well below the European average.

But obviously, it matters little that the pills are genuine or bad. In fact that is exactly what I said those responsible for the Swedish pharmaceutical, that the trial claimed that they believed they had misled consumers considering that if the pills had been "energize" had not produced any real effect (you see, what's responsible Boots is nothing new).

No, the concern is false homeopathy, that is, sold as homeopathy is not. We have often commented on the blog: in Spain the position of the authorities to the homeopathic potions has been to not give their permission for their sale, but not prevent it. Just turn a blind eye.

In view of this the pharmaceutical companies that are not silly, take advantage of that loophole to bring to market as "homeopathic" products that really are not.

Take an example, Boiron also, not to go further. This image is the cough syrup Stodal :

As you can see the product box is similar to other potions of Boiron, and even if set, includes the sign of "homeopathic medicinal product". The problem is that, if we look composition, it appears that it is not: with more or less diluted substances (rather more than less) contains tincture (undiluted) of sundew, syrup and syrup tolu polígala. Oh, by the way, if you are curious can look at that same link the approval number of "drug." I'll give you a hint: it does not.

course, these products may be more or less safe (though perhaps not in the case of an overdose), but things can become much more serious. The fact that so far we have not had such cases here that of Zicam may be because there really is not many consumers say homeopathy as their propagandists or a pure matter of luck, but certainly not the attitude of the Medicines Agency.

So if you are going to "commit suicide" on Saturday, you know: take a look at the label and verify that is truly and genuinely homeopathic. Only homeopathy really is that no cure or anything .

Homeopathic Theory

One of these trends supposedly healthy invade us is that of detoxification . It seems our bodies are filled with all kinds of crap, and you have to expel them as well taking potions of dubious effectiveness either making out by the various body orifices (such as this or this ). Or, finally, also where there are not .

Actually this is unnecessary for the detoxification of very old, but the novelty of these trends is that somehow relate to the idea of \u200b\u200b"natural healing." To which one gets a little puzzled: if the body, they say, is able to heal itself, would not be able to also get rid of toxins without getting your feet wet or convert them into a pincushion ?

course, believers in these things have answers for everything (although some are a bit peculiar as we know ), and in this case there are going to remain silent: the accumulated stress of daily life, pollution, ingestion of "chemicals" or whatnot, electromagnetic waves, of course, chemtrails . The trouble is that hardly go from there: no one can explain, for example, why the radiation from mobile phones are bad really bad and instead others are sea good health, or how the hell can you not ingest whether chemical ... or Well, if you explain, but for what they say ...

So from here, and taken our traditional spirit of understanding for those who believe in such things as funny (beliefs, not consequences, which of course have no grace) we've decided to contribute our grain of sand offer the

Homeopathic Theory Toxins

Imagine something so simple, bland and seemingly harmless as a glass of water. If they can not worry: take a look at this video and return here.

Already? Well, here we have our glass of water ...

see, is full and ready to be consumed, but the problem comes from much further back. Back in time until we bought it, or we are just coming into the chocolate spread, or a friend gave us practical and unimaginative as the day of our wedding and, finally, appeared mysteriously at the bottom of cabinet the kitchen. What we all then? For

scrubbing, of course. To which is rubbed with a rag soaked with detergent and soaked in water, and then clarified to remove traces of soap.

And here is where makes his entrance on stage ... Well, make your blog entry on the scene Murias Cauldron, where I read this idea.

But I meant that he now makes its entry into this type of scene is next door, Mr. Semion Korsakov. For the uninitiated, Korsakov was one of the pioneers of homeopathy , having been converted by Hahnemann himself, with whom he maintained a long friendship. Hahnemann, of course, referred to as the Conde Korsakov, it is uncertain whether to give it an aristocratic air that did not belong (he was of noble family) or because the deception was mutual and also Korsakov managed to convince him of his own fantasies. Korsakov Whatever remains one of the most revered of the field of homeopathy, which made valuable contributions. For example, Korsakov argued that "information" that, according to homeopaths, converted to a sugar pill in a homeopathic remedy could be transmitted to the point that it was sufficient to introduce between other non-"enhanced" so that all magically become infected of ... well, magic.

But Korsakov is known today primarily as the inventor of an alternative system of "dinaminación" which bears his name but also could call it "the method bum. "Instead of the tedious task of drawing a hundredth of a mixture to mix in other ninety-nine parts of water, over and over again, Korsakov thought it could achieve similar results by simply pulling the mixture down the drain and filling the bottle with pure water: waste of the mix before they had been on the walls and bottom of the bottle would be enough to "energize" the new mix. As a method obviously ojimétrico, homeopaths do not agree on whether korsakoviano degree equals one hundredth Hahnemannian or rather 1.5, but the truth, not that it matters too much.

What we do matter is that, while scrubbing the glass, what we do is just that same: mix water and soap residues left on the walls with clean water rinse. And even then not to hit the glass against a Bible as truth homeopaths, the method is so similar that it is quite clear that eventually the cup freshly scrubbed contain a dilution of about korsakovianos degrees (depends on what it is every maniac this one with rinsing) of soapy water.

Oh yes, of course, then dried, but also dried the little pill of lactose for which homeopaths dump their remedies, and yet say the "water memory" becomes somehow in "memory of sugar", right? So why should not it be a "memory Duralex?

Memory, of course, is then transmitted to the water we drink in the glass. Again and again. And another and another.

So far the part of the preparation of the remedy, whose merit, as I said, it's Cauldron Murias (which as explained above a bottle, which allows rinsing as a "dinaminación" more complete) . Now let's see how does that relate to the toxins.

Recall that, according to the "similia similibus curantur" for homeopathic a substance that produces certain symptoms in a healthy person will cure similar symptoms in another patient. And I emphasize what's similar : they have to be the same, just like themselves a little. Even very recently, for example, to diseases that cause skin blemishes (genital herpes from sunburn) recommend a sepia-based remedy, because the ink of cuttlefish also stain your thing ...

So let the vessel fregoteo. Obviously, in the dirty glass the effect of soap is clean, right? The same thing happens to us when we are dirty, a soap pasadita as new. But what happens when the dilution of soap got inside our body, camaraderie as their own natural detoxifying qualities and buenrrollistas? For just the opposite, of course: leave a nasty echo .

And so every time we drink.

Fantastic, right? Well, of course, if we talk about homeopathy has to be great for noses. But I mean that the theory is great: at a stroke assert the validity of the fossilized ideas of Hahnemann and the way we find an explanation for the apparent accumulation of goo that we suffer. And all for being such a camaraderie.

In fact, the idea is so good you can, for example, also recommend homeopathy as a detoxifier. If we mess clean glass, enough to drink from a dirty glass to let us camaraderie. And if we look like jets of gold can even strengthen the action of taking dirty water excrementum caninum or other remedy particularly dirty. And so fresh.

The pity is that we can not also speak of a conspiracy by the big multinational domestic cleaning to poison, which would round up and slaughter. But the craziness that we are poisoning the water and is caught ...
