Homeopathy gives little relief just because of belief...a pseudoscience

Recently it happened to watch some discussions on "homeopathy" . It made me read some on it in internet...I am "trying" :-) to put it as simple as and as non technical as possible ..

 

Homeopathy is not science but is more like a pseudoscience. Homeopathy gives no medicines but nothing more than " Sugar " and "water". The concepts of "water remembers" ( Homeopathy believes that water has memory power lol :-) ). Using words like "circussions ", "consussions","energy creation" etc they build castles in air.

Homeopathy was proposed 20 years before Louis Pasteur invented that viruses cause diseases and before molecular theory was developed . Father of homeopathy, Hahnemann himself is allopathy doctor. He just suggested that he feels creating symptoms may cure some diseases but never said it in confirm or showed proofs as science was not yet developed by then.


Instead of using more technical words like Moles , molecules etc ...I will try to explain the funda of homeopathy in simple manner

First  find something that causes problems similar to what you want to cure. So you take the medicine and put one drop in a vial with 100 drops of water. You then shake that up for so many specific shakes. You then take one drop of that solution and mix it will 100 more drops of water. Shake. One drop of that solution with 100 drops of water. Shake.
Repeat for at least 8 more times, which means that you now have a solution that is 1 drop of the medicine to 10,000,000,000,000,000 drops of water. 1 drop the medicine to 10 quadrillion drops of water. Needless to say that drinking one glass of water from this “Solution” is effectively drinking water. The chance that even one molecule of venom is in there is so small it is effectively nonexistent.

Homeopathy thinks and believes that by mixing the some medicine in the water the first time you then made all the water have a “Memory” of that medicine.

I am neither with the group who think that English medicine is the only medicine saying that it is "proven" ...I also believe that many other natural ways of medicine exists like "Ayurvedha"and just that world has to explore them yet  ..

You might have heard of "Placebo effect " ..it is nothing but the name of psychological curing of diseases by making patients believe that he/she has been given a good medicine by good doctor.  In such experiments 70% of small diseases and pains got cured due to the strong belief that they were given medicine.

"Relief " that is being felt by many poeple for small pains and diseases after using homeopathy are due to this "placebo effect only".

Some sentences used by homeo doctors itself will give you an understanding

"We have a separate philosophy that giving concussions to water will create a energy "

"Water has memory power"

" Recreating symptoms of the disease(artificially) from which the person is suffering ..will lead to curing of that disease"

" We agree that there is no matter* in our medicines ( so called :-) ) but they can still cure because of energy ( which can be seen and created by only homeopathy doctors) "

*Matter here means "any substance" and substance in this context is medicine..they agree that their sugar balls( of course they call them medicines :-) ) have no matter ( as they dilute it to 10 crore times..it is equal to not having any thing in it but sugar and some water) but they have energy packed in them which will cure the disease.

Many developed countries like Britain , USA and many Europeon countries are in the process of banning homeopathy . After recent studies and results with statistics, 2 principals of Homeopathy colleges came out and said that it is all trash...

Funny thing is that they advertise it as "medicine with no side effects"..when there is no "matter" itself in it and  when it has no "effect at all "( as sugar water or ball cant show any effect) ..where is the scope of "side effect" :-)



Thanks.

Short story : In any relation...

Here is a short story with a beautiful message. I got it a long back in group and just felt that it is worth sharing ...

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand." "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father. "There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go.



But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."





In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...



Thanks.

Visited Bidar ( in Karnataka)...

On 9th May along with some friends visited Bidar(in Karnataka --135km from Hyderabad), a place of much historical significance. Though we could not cover all tourist spots there ,we covered all places of interest like...


Cave temple of Narasimha to visit which we have to go through a cave of 100m long which has canal with depth of 1.5m flowing through it ,Bidar fort which was constructed in 8th century and is said to be one of the most defended forts in India with many layers of protection arround it. I liked the concept of "Kandakam" ( I don't know what  it is called in English)...a big canal dug around the fort filled with water to stop the enemy forces from coming into the fort .I heard from some one that emperors also used to grow crocodiles in it so that no forces can cross it, museum and  finally famous and big gurunaanak temple ..



Thanks

My trip to Antharvedi...exciting...

I would like to share the joy of my trip to Antharvedi covering Bheemavaram , Palakol, Narsapur and many other small green villages in between...

More than the "Greenary" in fields I liked "Whiteness"( fair and plain ) in hearts of the people there...let me explain...

I felt guilty of myself many a times by very much unpolluted and plain heart of people there...starting from an auto driver to a landlord..a small vendor to a police officer etc

To mention as a small example...we generally call share auto as service auto some times but they do it as "real service" there...

They deny money from children, old aged, physically disabled and dont mind giving a drop if some one says that he is helpless to offer money.

You might have heard 
" It is not important how much you can tolerate but it is important how  you behave while you tolerate "....among a dozen people I have observed, no one did show impatience when some one have no money to offer them..instead with true heart said..." Ponle babai...nuvvekithe naa auto arigipoinda enti..vellu..jagratha"...

After having darshan in famous Mahankali temple in Bheemavam ,(where my camera was taken for trying to take photographs and given back after 10m by concerned authorities) I tried to take an auto to busstand which is only 1.5km distant..

Few auto valas advised me that it is walkable( but no one tried to hire me and charge more for their business) one took me there in his auto and suprisingly asked Rs.5/-..when I had no change..he said.."ponledndi...ooru choodataniki vatchara ..mari okkalle vatchare...sare jagratha" and left without waiting for me to get change for him even with out listeing to me when I was trying to stop him

Coming to the actual topic of my trip

Morning at arround 8:30 , started at Vijayawada for Bheemavaram and reached there by 12PM..

After having darshan in famous Mahankali temple there,reached palakol by bus...

From there I had a little journey through many green fileds and lakes to Sikanodu...

From there had a journey in a share...sorry... sorry service auto :-) to malkipuram with a group of old satirists ( that is funfilled -general-default way of dealing of poeple there I guess..which I enjoyed a lot)

From malkipuram I reached Antharvedi in another auto..had darshan and gotranamrchana there on my family and aunt's family's name .

I had to wait for half an hour to go to boat for reaching the mouth of the river Godavari..

In  the meanwhile I became sillent spectator for lot of analysis going on various topics like  future of state,political parties,whose gonna come to power next time etc among a fruit vendor , car driver and two police men with some betting as well...It reminded of a lesson in 8th standard called "The Mass cocktale"..:-)

I thoroughly enjoyed journey along the river...I felt really excited when the boat reached the mouth of the river...tiny shock waves were also thrilling...

Vyasa maharshi temple is worth watching..my journey ended at 6:50 when I caught train to Vijayawada in Narsapur...

Though I did the journey alone, I never felt as such.This is like a starter which increased my appetite for river journey..really looking forward to see paapikondalu soon...

Thanks
