Are homeopathic remedies placebos?
This myth can be re-phrased to read “You need to believe in it for it to work”. This is nonsense to anyone who has experienced or prescribed a successful homeopathic cure for a head injury, a middle-ear infection in a child or teething pain in a baby. A placebo is an un-medicated pill, which the patient believes contains something that will cure him or her. Homeopathic medicines work on babies and animals, neither of which is susceptible to the placebo effect. Research has ruled out the placebo effect and shown over and over again the efficacy of homeopathy. Science has also proven that water has a memory. See Health news.
