How homeopathy diagnoses illness - different to conventional medicine
In homeopathy it is not necessary to know the name of the disease -
just the symptoms. I thought this explanation was good.

DIAGNOSING ILLNESS

"This website makes use of the disease diagnosis used by conventional
medicine. Most patients who are considering medical treatment will be
aware of this diagnosis which are well known and widely used.

However, homeopaths do not use conventional disease diagnoses to
determine treatment, or to decide on a remedy for patients. Homeopathy
focuses on the individual's symptoms of illness, and on the personal
experience of the patient.

For example, arthritis is a single diagnosis, but sufferers vary
greatly in the way they experience pain. Some are worse at night, some
worse during the day. Some are better for heat, some better for cold.
Some are better for moving, others are better when completely still.
Some get relief from pressure, others cannot bear pressure. In
homeopathy it is these ‘personalised’ symptoms that usually point to
the correct, or matching remedy for the individual patient.
Conventional diagnosis, whether for ‘arthritis’ or any other disease,
is not important.

What this means is that Homeopathy can treat any condition, illness or
disease successfully, regardless of whether it has been diagnosed in
conventional terms, or not. In homeopathy a conventional medical
diagnosis of illness or disease is unnecessary.

This is a distinct advantage for homeopathy. Some patients are told by
conventional doctors that there is “nothing that can be done” without
a diagnosis, or indeed, worse still, that there is “nothing wrong with
them” if conventional diagnostic tests do not show an abnormality, or
indicate a specific, conventionally recognised disease.

In homeopathy, if a patient has symptoms, and if he or she can
describe them accurately, those symptoms can be treated."

"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There
are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we
don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we
don't know we don't know." -- Donald Rumsfeld

[BOB] "Beliefs are not opinions."
I think you will find that "belief" is a synonym for "opinion".
So WTF are you trying to say idiot?

[BOB] "I stand by what I said in context. A belief is
something held true with or without supporting
evidence or in the face of contradictory evidence.

An opinion is based on what one thinks and not what
one believes. Ones religion is what one believes.
Religion requires no thinking and in many cases
Religion forbids thinking.

While you might believe their are interchangeable
synonyms, I think if you asked an expert in the
English Language they might agree with me. The
words have different meanings and uses."

However one should note, homeopathy treatments are know to work no better
than a placebo. And armed with such knowledge, one should discard any such
treatments based upon homeopathy and any diagnostic technique utilized be
people which promote such outright quackery.

However the evidence doesn't show a greater success rate than treatment
with a placebo. In many cases treatment with homeopathy is much worse.
Death is often the result of homeopathic treatments.

These are called psychosomatic disease. The class of mental illness is
often treated by nonsensical treatments and placebos. Note many people
which claim to be successful treated by homeopathic remedies are suffering
from a form of mental illness.

There is no evidence to support Carole's claim.

What happens to that little kid who can't tell mommie what hurts. How is he
going to be treated? Carole failed to mention how those symptoms will be
treated if the patient is unable to describe the symptom accurately.

Does not really matter what kind of medicine is being practiced or who is
practicing it. A list of symptoms will elicit a diagnosis. The difference
between the BS Carole is throwing and modern medicine is that indicated
tests, etc. with a description of symptoms gets a diagnosis that has a
better chance of being correct then Carole's uneducated guess.
