There is nothing to "discuss" with a profession that embraces quackery like homeopathy, as naturopathy does. Being "rigid" standing up for science and against the infiltration of pseudoscience into medicine is not a bad thing, in my mind.https://twitter.com/DugaldSeely/status/1063928645373345794 …

The note on infiltration and a need to defend medical orthodoxy is telling of rigidity. Look to where the values of NM support people and why it's used. Your perspective is one that hinges on belief in patient gullibility not what actually serves them from their p.o.v.

2- Re homeopathy as analogous to your point: Is all of medicine in a state of rot due to the abuses and lack of EBM application when it comes to drugs and other interventions that often cause more ham than good? I believe the scales, truly weighed ,would not fall where you hope.

Is there any naturopathic treatment that cures any cancer the way the dreaded combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies like Herceptin can for many cancers? Wait, I know the answer to that one!

In this I agree and am a harsh critic as well. There is no ethical space for false claims of cure from alternative medicine.

indeed, and the study did not convince me of efficacy nor the feasibility in trying for a larger study. Such is the way of research.

The fact that you even did a study of homeopathy is disturbing enough.
