#2 isn’t as cut-and-dry as you present it.
WHO rankings are based on many variables: overall population health, health inequalities within pop., health system responsiveness, distribution of health system, health system costs. The US did not perform well in the two latter variables.
However, the US ranked first in modalities concerning QUALITY of health care, but overall ranking was diluted due to poor ranking in the aformentioned factors, “fairness of financial contribution to quote WHO.
Factor this into the WHO rank of 35:
Dr. B. Starfield (Johns Hopkins) reports in JAMA, 7/26/00, that 225,000 deaths/yr in US are caused by conv. med. making it the THIRD leading cause of DEATH after cancer and heart dis. Dr. S. also states that the amount of pain, suffering & hardship caused by conv. med. is INCALCULABLE, all of this accounting for the ranking of 15 at the time (since then 35). Similar stats were reported by the NY Times in 12/07.
It’s well known that conv. drugs cause side effects & iatrogenic diseases which must be treated along with the original complaint. That results at least in addt’l visits & Rx costs, greatly increased overall med. expense, high cost of health ins. if affordable at all, loss of work time/income, etc.
This is how it breaks down:
106,000 deaths/yr due to negative drug effects
80,000 deaths/yr due to hospital infection
20,000 deaths/yr hospital errors
7,000 deaths/yr hospital med errors
12,000 deaths/yr due to unncessary surgery
In my opinion the above in no possible way reflects a desirable “QUALITY of health care” nor does it justify a ranking of first.
After 56 years of conv. med. and 11 years of h., my personal opinion is that h. is far superior in its ability to cure, relieve pain & suffering and improve general overall health & quality of life. I think the stats are significant!
People will have to make their own decision about homeopathy. Listen to both sides of the fence. Then experiment for yourself when you have a bruise or scrape. Put on some arnica gel for the black and blue, and some calendula for the scrape and watch the results. Then decide.
Absolutely.
Homeopathy can’t possibly be placebo effect because it cures objective symptoms of non self-limiting chronic diseases such as chronic tonsillitis in infants & children and tumours in animals. Infants and animals are not subject to the placebo effect.
Observer bias is not applicable to OBJECTIVE symptoms such as chronic tonsillitis, tumors and skin diseases which are routinely cured by many Homeopathy clinics/hospitals around the world one of which is the Banerji Research Centre, India.
i am suffring from cronic constapation from 2 years
can homopathy could cure it?
please help me
Yeah…but go to a professional homeopath…do not expect personalized medical advice via youtube.
I’d be curious what was contained in the placebo.
This is completely misleading. Half the studies you refer to are small, badly carried out trials. The diarrhea studies you quote were all carried out by the same people and the results were not reproducable. The reality of the matter can be shown in the fact that the WHO has now banned the use of homeopathic medicines for serious diseases to stop the endangerment of peoples lives. Its a nice idea that magical energy waves heal the body but its completely scientifically unfounded.
@BaronVonWolfenstien You have proven that a little knowledge is dangerous. You’re misinformed: the diarrhea studies were NEVER disproven, only a homeopathic combination medicine did not work. You’re now blocked. Good-bye.
I think one of the best testimonies of the efficacy of Homeopathy is the book titled:
“HOMEOPATHY CURES WHERE ALLOPATHY FAILS” written by an Allopathy doctor.
In it he details various case histories much of whom are Allopathy doctors who were getting worse from Allopathy drugs.
The book should be titled:
“HOMEOPATHY CURES ALLOPATHY DOCTORS”!!!!
LOL!!!
I am honored that so many skeptics of homeopathy are so threatened by my videos. The skeptics’ blogs encourage their ilk to give my videos a “low rating.” I encourage everyone to judge for themselves.
“the burden of proof is always on the person making the claim”
Exactly!
Skeptics who claim that patients of Homeopathy are cured by the placebo effect must prove their claims!
@mohanaturo – sorry buddy, but you’re wrong.
A skeptic could not come along and claim that someone was cured by the placebo effect – unless there was already something claiming to have cured the patient in the first place.
Homeopathy is making the claim that it works (i.e. that it cured the patient). Therefore people are entitled to question this claim (and demand evidence).
@den151redbank I can tell you
1) Cancer is unbeaten, so people try everything that might remotely work. The FDA does not require medicine to work, it just requires it to be save.
2) Because the US has so many ignorant religious parents that let their children die because consulting a doctor means not trusting prayer enough, and because their health care system is fucked up beyond repair.
@lagerbaer I recommend you:
1) read the ground-breaking study “Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted remedies on breast cancer cells”, Int’ J of Oncology, 2/10/2010 showing h. kills breast cancer cells, no chemo, no radiation, no surgery, no destruction of immune system, no damage to surrounding cells.
2) Read the work done by Banerji Clinic on brain tumors with h. alone. Some tumors have been completely regressed. They have a 5-yr survival rate of 32% compared to conv med rate of 0.03%.
@lagerbaer I also recommend you study the other work of Banerji Clinic. Here’s their record:
1) Complete remission of 21% of astrocytomas, 22% ditto of gliomas, 20% ditto of meningiomas, no surgery, chemo, radiation, no negative “side effects”.
2) Banerji treats 1,200 cancer patients a day with 70% benefit. They treat cancer patients in 72 countries and 30 states in the US. Columbia U has developed an integrated cancer dept through their affiliation with Banerji.
@lagerbaer What is the effective rate for conventional cancer treatment? 25%!
That’s right, conventional cancer treatment is effective in only 25% of patients and that’s according to drug company records.
20/20 replicated all of the studies you cited, and it turned out to be very negative. Basically homeopathy doesn’t work. The BBC verified this as well. So why keep selling it?
@den151redbank You are using the “cure ” rate meaning the patient was alive 5 years from date diagnosed . Even if that patient was covered in tumors and died in 5 years and 2 days , its a cure . The actual curing of cancer from radiation or chemotherapy is more likely in the 2-6% range . Incidentally , those who report doing “nothing” to cure their cancer , no chemo , alternative medicine , or major lifestyle change , seem to have a 20-25% cure rate under the 5 year rule . Peace .
Real is scientific homeopathy. It cures even when Conventional Allopathic Medicine (CAM) fails. Evidence-based modern homeopathy is a nano-medicine bringing big results for everyon
why does it work on my allergies first over other things that I wanted treated first?this was unexpected?
@jhicks64 Good question…though there is no simple answer other than to say that the homeopathic medicine you were given was probably the “partial simillimum” (which means that it is the right medicine for PART of your dis-ease, not for everything). Disease has layers. Your homeopath will need to give you another remedy(s).
Thanx for proving (again) that homeopathics have the power to heal that is way beyond that of a placebo effect.
