Re: Weird things you judge people for?

Eeeehhh this one's difficult for me. Homeopathic medicine can be beneficial if it's used preventatively or as a supplement to conventional medical care. And while for the most part reasonable practitioners will not under any circumstances advocate its use as an alternative for things like cancer treatment... unfortunately there are complete idiots out there.

In general I'd say it's usually pretty harmless. A lot of homeopathic treatments involve close monitoring of things like environmental stress, which isn't something most doctors think to concern themselves with.

It's almost always not an issue in countries with socialized health care though.

What sort of homeopathic medicine do you think is effective to prevent what illness or disease? I haven't heard of any.

In one of the classes I had to take for my degree we actually had a homeopathic practitioner come in to present. I was quite skeptical about it myself, but it turns out that a great deal of homeopathy is really more focused on getting people to do things like quit smoking safely, reduce alcohol consumption, monitor general nutrition and weight... things that a physician might mention during an examination but would rarely be able to offer support for.

I still wouldn't personally go to one, but I'm of the opinion that if people find those services effective and their homeopath is helping to maintain holistic health, then that money is probably a lot more useful than buying a gym membership they'll never use. You see what I'm saying?

That's interesting. IME, those things are not what homeopathy is known for, however. I also do not know of any credible doctors who wouldn't recommend the exact same things when applicable. If I wanted to carefully monitor my nutrition and diet, I'd probably see a trained nutritionist as opposed to a GP or a homeopathic healer.
