This stuff shouldn't work --- but it does, August 10, 2006
According to the science of chemistry, homeopathy is a discredited "pesudoscience." It shouldn't work because it has not one molecule of active substance in it, according to Avogadro's reckoning. Therefore, any positive effects one obtains after using a homeopathic product are attributed to self-fulfilling prophecy or the placebo effect.
Except for one small problem. It really works, discredited or not, molecules or no. Our daughter was seven months old when she got her first and only ear ache. It was driving her crazy. My wife gave her the recommended dose of this product, and within a few hours, she had developed a fever and sweats (as per the textbook descriptions of homeopathy, in which you get worse before you get better). A few hours, some serious sweating, and a particularly nasty soiled diaper later, my daughter's ear ache was gone. Completely.
Call me skeptical of the skeptics, but I have a hard time believing that a seven-month old got the medicine to work through wishful thinking or the placebo effect. As well, I have had other experiences in which homeopathic products have worked rapidly and thoroughly to alleviate symptoms or to end a sickness.
This stuff might not work in theory, but it does in practice. Go figure.
