it won't cure cancer, but it might prevent you from getting cancer to begin with :)
Antibiotics aren't given for colds and sniffles. There is no way to manufacture a drug that can combat over 300 thousand variations of a virus.
Listening to your body and keeping fit and healthy isn't anything new, it's just common sense. We drink tea, eat fruit loaded with vitamins, rug up and get warm when we're sick for a reason, because it works. We don't do it because it's an alternative form of medicine.

you don't need to be a "professional scientist" to detect bull using scientific principles.
She's wrong, energy can be created, hook up a generator to Einstein's coffin and generate energy from Einstein rolling in his grave

This is apart from the fact that antibiotics attack bacteria and not viruses.

i guess the thing to distinguish is that the main idea behind homeopathy is treating the illness as a symptom of the whole body being out of whack. and when dealing with the root cause of most illnesses this approach does make a lot of sense. the way in which people try to re-balance the body is where you get into a lot of the weird cures such as crystals or extracts diluted to the point that they are essentially placebos.
are you conflating homeopathy and naturopathy? homeopathy is practically defined by its "weird cure" of dilution. it is the central tenet of the faith. dilution is to homeopathy what christ is to christianity.

Mahendra Gundawar & 6 others
Chandrapur, India
Three dead, seven blinded
December 14, 2007
Gundawar was a homeopath who sold a new tonic, recently introduced on the market, that was supposed to reduce fatigue. He himself died, along with several of his patients. Several others were blinded, and other cases occured elsewhere in India.
maybe they diluted it too much and made it too powerful?
