      It is fruitless to discuss your potential modes of action until we have evidence of an effect. As far as I am aware there is none, unless you indulge in cherry picking. https://edzardernst.com/2018/11/the-end-of-homeopathy-at-the-medical-school-university-of-vienna/?fbclid=IwAR2Z8ZwTuNBLykHwv52ARfpzBSK0C0h4EhickdFQUAX7QcZcNRL9SuN9-H0 …

      This is one trial with n=133. Not replicated. I remain unconvinced . @GidMK may have more comments.

      The most comprehensive evidence to date - a systematic review of reviews, covering over 50 systematic reviews and 100s of RCTs - found that there is no evidence that homeopathy works for any condition https://nhmrc.gov.au/about-us/publications/evidence-effectiveness-homeopathy-treating-health-conditions …

      Individualized treatment is different from a group trial where the same treatment is used for all of the experimental group. Homeopathy is different from pharmaceuticals. The same type of experimental method for chemical pharmaceuticals is unlikely to work for homeopathy.

      Many of these studies looked at "individualized homeopathy", it too fails overall to provide any significant benefit or effect

      It also is unlikely to cause tardive dyskinesia or extrapyramidal symptoms. Homeopathy is not for resetting a broken leg but Arnica homeopathic remedy may help a little with pain, speed recovery of bruising. Homeopathy is more like adaptogen herbs, helping body perform better.

      Homeopathy won't cause any issues, but it has no beneficial effects Exactly the same as doing nothing at all, except more costly

      I gave links to quite a few double blind placebo controlled trials where significant benefit was found. In my personal use I have had some very significant effects and some no difference. In my experience with pharmaceuticals I've had some very negative effects & lasting damage.

      The problem with selecting RCTs that agree with you is that you can easily be misled simply due to statistical chance. That is why systematic reviews, and reviews of reviews, are so valuable

          Going back to the original reason I replied to this Thread was a demand that a practicing homeopath pause in his work & spend time providing evidence. I've provided various evidence and it has been a complete waste of my time, except I've found out more about nanoparticles.

          Many pharmaceuticals are on the market with only slightly better than placebo effect evidence and a fair amount of harmful side effects. Why not discuss those?
