    Of course, the reason there were no side effects is because the homeopathic remedies are just water. Perceived positive results were due to placebo effects, regression to the mean, and confirmation bias.https://twitter.com/kimcreynolds1/status/1099353671865978881 …

    Our family has used homeopathics for a variety of things- coughs, cold, flu, & motion sickness. All of been helpful and effective with no side effects. I welcome the day when our country takes an integrative approach to health & wellness.

        Medical Journal of Australia. 2010;192(8):458-460. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of currently available Cochrane reviews of studies of homeopathy do not show that homeopathic medicines have effects beyond placebo; see also NIH conclusions.

        Though it's always worth mentioning that homeopathy does have "adverse events", up to and including death

        One could always drown... that would be a side effect... (with thanks to @daraobriain for that insight)

        Don’t forget the natural history of each malady named. The body does what the body does, with or without us “doing” anything.

        Do you think it's better the worried well take homeopathic remedies for their mild viral illnesses rather than antibiotics?

        Right. If dilution increases potency it should also worsen side effects.

        I would have to add that I think that the 'placebo effect' is in fact, conformation bias, regression to the mean et al.
