    Homeopathy IS "Western medicine" (well Western quackery, at least). It was invented in Germany in the late 18th century. Its precepts violate multiple well-established laws of physics and chemistry.https://twitter.com/colleentatum/status/1161298526250209280 …

    Missing the actual point. Does the average person want alternative to big pharma or at least a consideration of a lifestyle based aproach? Yes. But the arrogance of western medicine has always shamed & discounted ways used for generations in favour of its “superiority”

        Also, conventional medicine has been preaching "lifestyle-based approaches" forever: Eat a healthier diet, exercise more, lose weight, stop smoking, don't drink alcohol to excess, get enough sleep. Those are all lifestyle interventions routinely recommended by physicians.

        there was Eastern Germany, the German Democratic Republic (1949-1990). Ironically, they outlawed homeopathy in 1961.

        Is it possible she’s confusing “homeopathic” and “holistic?” Seems like a lot of people don’t get that homeopathy is a specific thing rather than just a touchy-feely form of medical care.

        "Holistic" isn't non-western either. It's just the usual fuzzy-headed stuff from the new age crowd.

        Homeopathy is medicine in the same way that La Croix is fruit soda.

        you know how you can tell that "alternative medicine" doesn't work? because if it did, they would just call it "medicine"
