    So if China had a vaccine tomorrow and said it had worked on thier entire population you would take it?

    In theory yes.... in practice.I havent seen a case of Covid or heard of anyone having covid. So I am good jack but you can have my place.

    It would just be sugar and water, there's nothing else in it. It's a placebo... No specialised skills required outside of faking specialised knowledge. There's also a certain irony in the fact you're complaining about what scientists put in vaccines but are happy to defer to the expertise of homeopaths who are snake oil merchants.

    Homeopath has never done me wrong. Doctors and wrongly prescribed medicine, yeah plenty.

    I am stuck with the fupper. He benefits more than me from our financial chats. Anytime I visit the waiting room is empty.

    You keep repeating that your GP waiting room is empty. It is possibly due to him knowing not to have other appointments lined up when you are there to waste so much of his time.

    A quiet surgery is ideal when there is a pandemic. It sounds like he is doing things right.

    more particularly they are complaining that not all the ingredients are listed in a vaccine when he hasn't got a clue what is in the pills his homeopath gives him and seems happy to take it on trust.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,816 ✭✭✭skooterblue2


    How do you know its not something you should be worried about?

    I dont but I trust my practitioner ..... My GP? Everyday he has his shoes on the right feet I am impressed.

    Well it's all based on astrology. So there's no way it could be wrong.

    I can’t figure out how he would know all ingredients are not listed when he doesn’t know what is in a vaccine, nor can he say what is missing from the list.

    That was two years before the pandemic. :D:D:D:D Other people as well who I talked to say he is useless.

    I love an efficient doctors surgery. I changed from an inefficient one to an efficient one. My appointments run on time now. It is great. Sounds like your doctor is running a good operation.

    Did you ever look into a restaurant and it was full and wonder why? Did you ever look at an empty restaurant and wonder why? The good services are always in demand. Ohhhhh to be private.

    Completely irrelevant comparison. They are not equals.

    I had two GPs at home and the waiting rooms were always full to the brim. This poor lad couldnt sell medicine to save his life.

    so they either schedule multiple appointments at the same time or they work on first come first served. Both best avoided.

    People dont come back for bad medicine same as bad bread. I only go to my GP to get forms signed because he is crap at medicine.

    I meant medicine as in the broader sense as in "to practice medicine".

    Cool, enjoy your sugar pills but they're most likely going to be useless when you're seriously ill. Meanwhile modern medicine will continue to eliminate things such as polio, smallpox and cancers. Do you think homeopaths could handle them?

    I honestly have no idea. I am not a homeopathic practitioner. Eastern medicine is different to western medicine. In eastern medicine you pay so you dont get sick, in western medicine you go when you are sick.

    When I come across something that affects me that my homeopath can fix I will tell you

    So firstly, homeopathy is about two hundred years old was invented by a German so not remotely Eastern. During that period of history where snake oil salesmen entered the English language. Secondly, secondly sugar water makes it pretty clear that it's a placebo so it's gonna do nothing for an illness outside of the placebo effect. And vaccines are pretty clearly preventing a sickness rather than waiting for it to occur....

    Btw, you never clarified if you view the mmr vaccine to be good or bad, how about the polio ones? Fyi, that gardasil vaccine you hate so much is responsible for eliminating some of the most deadly forms of cervical cancer. It will save countless lives.

    Also the most poorly informed knowledge of homeopathy from a scientist in training.

    If Eastern medicine is so good why are we in the situation we are in now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,919 ✭✭✭silliussoddius

    An yet you posted that Covid was responsible for the actual killing of 1.6 million people, which we know not to be factual.

    what situation would that be?

    Have you ever gone to an acupuncturist, Homeopath or the like with a serious complaint?

    I am guessing not, which is also fine.

    I never claimed to have studied over homeopathy. I own a large collection of books but claim never to have studied it.

    hmmmm there is a certain amount of truth in it. CCP did reform and streamline teaching for making it easier for learning, Traditional Chinese Medicine as opposed to classical acupuncture which is slightly more difficult to learn.
