Conventional doctors scoff at homeopathy and maintain that the very system is a farce. According to Dr Krishna, General Secretary of Andhra Pradesh Homeopathy Association there needs to be informed debate about homeopathy to clear the doubts people have about it. “People have many misconceptions about homeopathy and this is causing a lot of confusion. There has to be an informed debate about homeopathy to help people in taking a better decision,” K. Gopala Krishna, General Secretary of Andhra Pradesh Homeopathy Association, said.
“Since the ingredients of the medicine are very potent they are diluted to a large extent. Sometimes the dilution extends to the point where the presence of original ingredients in the medicine cannot be discovered by any available scientific procedures,” he explained. This is the reason he feels that the inability to measure those substances scientifically that is giving a homeopathy a bad name.
While some commentators maintain that homeopathy relies on mere placebo effect, Dr Krishna says that it is not placebo and it has been bringing relief to people for the past 200 years.
“Each system of medicine has its own strengths and weaknesses. Homeopathy is best suited for the ailments such as upper respiratory tract infection, arthritis, allergic disorders, hormonal imbalances in women and spondylitis, among others,” he said.
Allopathy on the other hand due its vast technical expertise, research and development remains the best option in case of emergencies, surgeries etc.,
“Even the approach towards treating a disease by both the systems is completely different and hence they should not be compared,” Dr Krishna said.
Whereas conventional medicine concentrates on curing an ailment by killing the invading pathogen, Homeopathy tries to strengthen the body so that it can fight the pathogens by itself, he said. “Our surroundings are brimming with pathogens all the time and they cause an ailment only when the body becomes weak,” he explained.
Dr Krishna feels that tall claims made by some homeopaths is giving the field a bad name. Homeopathy, if practiced properly, is cheaper, safer and effective for many ailments and can help body in gaining resistance against ailments, he said.
“Excessive dependence on western medicine is proving to be very costly. A judicial balance between both Homeopathy and allopathy will reduce the cost and also improve the health of a person,” he added.

The weight of evidence for homeopathy is as at least as good as that for conventional medicine. BMJ Clinical Medicine showed some years ago that only 11% of conventional medicine has substantial high quality evidence to support its use. The rest is doubtful or poor. Now almost daily the fraud that underlies much of conventional medicine is being exposed. Just this week Johnson & Johnson have been fined $1 billion in the USA for marketing a drug for unapproved/unproved uses and putting patients at risk. Homeopathy’s safety profile is immeasurably higher and, unlike conventional medication, does not put thousands of people in hospital from adverse drug reactions. So with an evidence profile at least as good as conventional medicine and research and production costs measurably much lower, its obvious which system to choose as a first recourse for India’s people..
Homeopathy is a belief system, not science. http://nonpareilcognition.wordpress.com/2011/01/08/a-rational-view-of-homeopathy/
The fact that homeopathy has been around for 200 years, doesn’t make it any less fraudulent. It’s been subjected to hundreds of clinic trials over the years and the totality of evidence shows it is, at best, no more effective than placebo.
By the way, Vinay Naik, it won’t be ‘banned’ in Britain. If people want to waste their money on it they will still be able to do so. But it is unlikely to be funded by our National Health Services for much longer and individual homeopaths are already having to withdraw the false claims made for it on their websites and other advertising under pressure of complaints from angry consumers who are fed up with their nonsense.
Mike NewtonApril 27, 2011Neither your response, nor the arctlie you refer to answer my question. The arctlie is a long treatise on malaria that could have come from any medical textbook, and a rant against allopathy, but without suggesting any homeopathic alternative. I take it then that the succinct answer to the question I asked would be NO
Homeopathy is a total fraud. They expect us to believe in black-magic. Modern science can detect sub-atomic particles but according to Gopal Krishna above, the active ingredients in homeopathy are smaller and that’s why they cant’ be detected. No wonder it is banned in Germany and in the process of being banned in Britain.
