I think it’s important for people to understand that mechoman wasn’t trying to make light of rhe situation or any kind of joke about homeopathy.
His explanation of homeopathy was accurate: Homeopathy operates on the principle of “like cures like,” meaning it aims to treat a disease by administering highly diluted substances that would produce similar symptoms in a healthy person, with the belief that the extreme dilution process somehow retains the healing power of the original substance and stimulates the body’s self-healing mechanisms. Of course there is no scientific evidence that such a strategy has any effect or positive results at all.
In this context, “hogwash” is an entirely correct word to describe the extreme ridiculousness of homeopathy. “Hogwash” can be defined as nonsense or bullshit.
I hope this explanation will be helpful to those struggling to understand the very valid point that mechoman shared with us.
I don’t think sarcasm is the correct word to describe the attitude, intent or spirit of my post. Homeopathy really is complete bullshit.
You are absolutey correct in pointing out how stupid and nonsensical it is.
I did however find it funny that you explained the original comment about homeopathy, and then clarified your explanation. It amused me to keep it going by explaining your explaination, and now here I am taking it a step further by explaining my explanation of your original explanatory post.
I’m not sure this could get any more meta.
Anyway I never intended sarcasm, just pure ridiculousness.
The whole ‘likes cures like’ of ‘homeopathy good’ but ‘vaccines bad’ cracks me up.
One molecule in a dilution (that your immune system doesn’t even see) is good, but a vaccine that makes your immune system to do the heavy lifting against the real thing is bad? Oh for fuck sake.
“Oh for fuck’s sake” ndeed. I can’t decide if it’s funny or sad. So many poorly educated and naturally dumb-ass people keep falling for bullshit. As they say, there’s a sucker born every minute.
I’m still waiting for some homeopath to explain to me why the water cycle doesn’t make all (non distilled) water on Earth (or at least seawater) a universal panacea, given the amount of shit that’s been dissolved in it and the degree to which it has.

I cannot tell if you’re being sarcastic. ☹️

This is the question Big Homeo doesn’t want you to ask.
