and it seems no amount of evidence about homeopathy will matter to people whose minds are closed to new information.https://twitter.com/deNutrients/status/1070002815303643137 …

Oh, my mind is closed? If you'll check above, I base my opinion on over 150 separate studies that have been formally assessed in a scientific way Did you read the link I posted? And the 200-odd report?

"There is a paucity of good-quality studies of sufficient size that examine the effectiveness of homeopathy as a treatment for any clinical condition in humans" - ie not enough evidence https://nhmrc.gov.au/about-us/publications/evidence-effectiveness-homeopathy-treating-health-conditions … Effectiveness-of-homeopathy-for-clinical-conditions-overall

And, of course, the following sentence "The available evidence is not compelling and fails to demonstrate that homeopathy is an effective treatment for any of the reported clinical conditions in humans" - i.e. the evidence doesn't show a benefit anyway

If: 1. All the studies are bad 2. Overall they show homeopathy is useless anyway What possible reason could you have for recommending it as a treatment?

"the available evidence" is not compelling possibly because it wasn't adequate, or maybe the remedies weren't made or given or stored properly. Not enough evidence is not the same as showing something is useless or safe, -- a gov vaccination report concluded not enough evidence.

If you think so, design and run a study with a few thousand participants, good randomization, excellent controls, and get back to me Otherwise, best evidence suggests it's nonsense

The thing is, we've got many such studies. As I said, over 170 of them. And by and large, they show that there's no difference between a magical homeopathic pill and one that hasn't been endowed with such magic

You have 170 studies of people pinching their fingers in car doors?

Nope. 176 studies looking at 68 separate conditions. Some of those were acute pain, but not all
