I sincerly don't believe that many of the people engaging in this specific line of questioning believe or use homeopathic products.
Many of the criticisms are the same kind used to disprove the usefulness of many remedies that a good deal of people use all the time.
The rant about Flower remedies being one good example. These are obviously people who don't wish to relate or understand the homeopathy industry.
The only quote I found that really sied up the escapade was said in an among the more of some random stuff about "love" nonetheless his point was well made I don't mean by this that we should accept any old claims about medicinal products but rather to point to the attitude and tone of your posts
real science (and wisdom) comes from an attitude of humility and curiosity- an understanding that the world is mysterious we don't know everything- but can try to find out.
Your posts display no humility at all- you've already decided that Neal's Yard are unethical/fraudulent etc. and therefore mock and deride everyone who might have derived any benefit or healing from their products/services.
I doubt you are genuinely curious in whether homeopathy has healing effects - you just want an outlet for your frustrations
If you don't believe in homeopathy that's fine but why the need to mock people who do? It just seems cruel intentioned.
