Talk:Homeopathy/Introduction

NPOV
I have marked this article as NPOV, it states that the doctor who invented it was "something of a genious", that there are "over 3000 remedies proved". Now, the word proved, would indicate the presence of a scientific approach, but the article also states that science "is not advanced enough yet to explain how homeopathy works". It also uses weasel words, saying that "Homeopathy is very widely used". --85.8.2.169 01:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Just removed
I just removed cancer off this list. One, cancer is many diseases not just one disease, so any claim that anything can cure cancer is bull. At best, there are drugs that can cure certain types of cancer, but there is not one drug that can cure all types of cancer. That's just flat wrong. Aids is not quite like cancer, but pretty close, there are different viral strains of AIDS, and no, there is no cure for AIDS yet. While I believe in the free exchange of ideas, I don't believe in leaving bullcrap in Wikibooks. I will declare that I'm a cancer survivor so I have some COI due to my brush with cancer, so I'll edit lightly on this subject from here on out.

 * Taking a look at this, since two users were back-and-forthing about it, I don't see the grounds for removal. The sentence says absolutely nothing about whether homeopathy works for anything at all; it says that homeopathy is used for a bunch of things, including cancer and AIDS.  The AIDS link is broken, but a look at the link for cancer readily verifies the assertion.  Concerns with the validity of homeopathy don't bear on that particular sentence.  (That said, I notice a few edits a while ago that might usefully be hedged on...) Btw,  there appears to be an extra   in your signature, which was misformatting following text; see the diff on this edit. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 21:00, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * OK User:Pi zero. I saw your change.  It looks good! Necromonger  Wekeepwhatwekill 21:50, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I hope you're not upset that I've now restored cancer and AIDS to the list of conditions that homeopathy is sometimes applied to. Hopefully the restoration of key passages mitigating claims about homeopathy helps to clarify the status of the list. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 23:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Pi zero I'm okay with the wording since it's clear that it doesn't cure cancer . Thanks for asking ! Necromonger  Wekeepwhatwekill 14:39, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
