2012 Review of Adverse Effects of Homeopathy

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/777749_3

I'm glad they're looking at this. Turns out that there are more adverse events with homeopathy than there are with placebo, so there must be something in there. The remedy most common implicated is Rhus Tox, which is a dilution of poison ivy.

What I meant is that the placebo effect is unaviodable.

Why do you think you are worse off from your college education?

I played with mercury balls too. They are very cool. No idea what that does to the BBB.

Everything is placebo effect. When you know this, it can be "avoided".

jk - my college education taught me to minimise positive effects of placebo.

great balls of fire, you must be mad as a hatter.
