Do you know how Wikipedia, the world's most used encyclopedia defines 'Homeopathy'? Read this:

Claims to the efficacy of homeopathic treatment beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and
clinical evidence,[7][8][9][10] although advocates of homeopathy point to studies of the effects of compounds diluted almost out of
existence.[11][12] Common homeopathic preparations are diluted beyond the point where there is any likelihood that molecules from
the original solution are present in the final product; the claim that these treatments still have any pharmacological effect is thus
scientifically implausible[13][14] and violates fundamental principles of science,[15] including the law of mass action.[15]
Critics also object that the number of high-quality studies that support homeopathy is small, the conclusions are not definitive, and
duplication of the results, a key test of scientific validity, has proven problematic at best.[16] The lack of convincing scientific
evidence supporting its efficacy[17] and its use of remedies without active ingredients have caused homeopathy to be regarded as
pseudoscience;[18] quackery;[19][20][21] or, in the words of a 1998 medical review, "placebo therapy at best and quackery at worst."[22]

Do you know that nearly all Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) articles on Wikipedia, including the one that you practice, are
heavily biased against CAM therapies? Everything that does not fall into the realm of modern medicine has been labeled as pseudo-scientific
or unscientific at Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is among the top 10 websites globally. Through it millions of people who use internet to search for alternative medicine are
being systematically exposed to anti-CAM data. At the time when the world is rushing towards alternative medicine, the effort to sabotage
the alternative medicine cannot be ignored.

To counter this misinformation, we need a place where the CAM community can build its own knowledge base without the undue interference
of skeptics. We need a place where the CAM practitioners themselves write articles and create a true picture of its history,
development, efficacy and positive research.

To ensure that the alternative medicines is not discredited or disputed unfairly and to create a true encyclopedia for Complementary
& Alternative Medicine (CAM), Hpathy.com, world's leading homeopathy portal, is announcing a parallel wiki project at www.wiki4cam.org

We invite you to register at wiki4cam and help us build true information about the CAM modality that you practice.

If you are a School/College of any CAM therapy or if you are a CAM practitioner and if you are concerned about the anti-CAM propaganda,
take up the responsibility for creating articles about your CAM therapy at Wiki4CAM. Do not think that someone else will do it. It is
YOUR responsibility to actively participate in building a true information base about the CAM modality that your practice and teach!

Please visit http://www.wiki4cam.org now and find out why the CAM community needs to come together and take charge of its own content.

We request you to forward this information about Wiki4CAM.org to all you alternative medicine friends practicing Homeopathy, Ayurveda,
Naturopathy, TCM, Herbalism, EFT or any other CAM modality. Wiki4CAM is meant for the whole CAM community.

Thank you,
Dr. Manish Bhatia

Wikipedia biased against CAM? Are you claiming that homeopathy doesn't violate any of the known scientific laws, or require a radical explanation?

Sure, existing knowledge could be wrong and although a sound proof of homeopathic principles would require some re-writing of physics, that doesn't mean it's a psuedoscience is itself.

Can you imagine a fair wiki overview article on homeopathy that doesn't mention it's *overwhelming* problems and counter-evidence?

" Your Holygrail of counter-evidence? ......................................"Is writen on he basis off:


................. the public debate on homeopathy is stimulated by media reports that favor a skeptical view of homeopathy, most often based on "complete ignorance" of the subject matter.


As a result of such negative media coverage, many people "who know nothing" of homeopathy (and very little of the foundations of modern science) hold a critical view of it.

The people who inform the media range from clueless journalists to professional skeptics who are rarely clueless but often disingenuous in their skepticism.

The list of such skeptics includes Michael Shermer, Richard Wiseman and Richard Dawkins, magicians such as James Randi, and physicians such as Stephen Barrett and Ben Goldacre


So Moopet,What is your basis ,What is your expierenence with Homeopathics<what is your education regards Quantum physics/Homeopathy/Energy medicine?

You haven't answered:

In this thread - Are you claiming that homeopathy doesn't violate any of the known scientific laws, or require a radical explanation?

In this thread - Can you imagine a fair wiki overview article on homeopathy that doesn't mention it's *overwhelming* problems and counter-evidence?

In the other thread I could be bothered with (Which is more scientific: Allopathy or Homeopathy?) - Which article?

Is it possible that you could answer questions on your own, without pasting in links to non-public sites or biased (run by homeopath) sites? Without pasting in swathes of text from other sources? Pasting information to support your position is fine, if you show understanding of what you're saying and can coherently state your case. Can you?
