Jeff, there's a lot of people who say the 'double blind trial' is inadequate to test things like homeopathy. SO i'm afraid science IMO is not adequate to prove or disprove it.

Why, given that our medical system so potent, are so many people sick?
This does not necessarily justify homeopathy, but it does indicate that, despite its rigid use of double blind testing for its medicines, somewhere, orthodox medicine is missing the mark.

I completely agree. I belive that there is a dimension is missing from the health care system at present and there is a terrible lack of emotional care for patients. I do not believe that the answer to this is in superstition. It is possible to be both 'holistic' and 'scientific', caring for a patients mental wellbeing and general health whilst regecting both 'pill popping' and the superstitions of 'alternative medicine'.

And if they then want to go on and try unproven alternatives, or superstition/magic, then so be it- assuming they've made that decision to not use the orthodox treatment, then they've really got nothing to lose.

Here's one for ya... a friend of mine had really bad knees from skateboarding years ago. Got cortazone (?) shots, etc. all the time to deal with the pain, but they were really bad. He couldn't walk uphill for very long on a vacation a few years ago that I went with him on.
He's fine now. His knees are still bad, but they no longer bother him. Medical science had nothing to offer him. What did he do? He found an old herbal cure which involved burning a certain mix of herbs into three or four acupunture points around the kneecap. He has to repeat it every 3 or 4 months. But it worked for him. And I mean his knees were really bad, and for the pain to just go away overnight after that? Seems like more than a placebo effect.

But I get the feeling that if I went to either of you as a doctor and said I was going to try this, that you would outright suggest that there is no way it could work, and is a foolish move... which when put that way does sound arrogant.
I feel a better answer would be "There is no accepted evidence of it being objectively a good treatment, but I have heard of one or two people who did try it and did have positive results" rather than "There's no evidence to support it and thus it's foolish to even consider such an option", which is how it has sounded as I read through this thread.

1:The patient needs to know what they are taking for the homeopathic medicine to have an effect.
...
2:Both patient and administer has to know exactly what is being given.
...
3:Lying to so many people will cause the remedies to not work.
