Just saying. Yes. The mind does have healing ability. So faith healing, homeopathic, placebos and other frauds -- will get the credit, when healing takes place. In addition, it is often difficult to know what caused a healing. Frequently, the body simply self heals over time. Again, any treatment or therapy going on can claim credit. Even more so, when many therapies are engaged. Say, I have what I think is a cold. The doctor gives me something. I start drinking herbal teas. I start taking vitamin supplements. I'm watching my diet. I'm sleeping more. Practicing meditation. Taking a homeopathic remedy. Taking a laxative. Thinking warm, positive thoughts. My pastor prays with me. My loving cat snuggles up against me and purrs. Then I get better. Alright. What actually helped? All of it? None of it? My favorite bias? Edited March 8, 2020 by Jonathan H. B.

Nathaniel Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) I had been very strongly influenced against homeopathy by Penn and Teller and I liked to poke fun at it. Then my allergies were acting up and I went to a drug store for an antihistamine. Next to them on the shelf were homeopathic allergy pills. They were less expensive than the allopathic so I thought "What the hey. I'll give it a try" expecting them to not work and I would have to return for a bottle of allopathic medicine. Instead, the pills worked. Not as well or for as long as an allopathic antihistamine, but it worked. I was quite shocked. Though I have never used a homeopathic med again, I am nonetheless no longer inclined to dismiss homeopathy completely.
