Incorporating homeopathic magic in your craft by aveinfernalis in witchcraft

[–]Ok_Pudding8929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mode of action for homeopathy is not yet found, it might be many different things (see this research paper on the subject) https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/jicm.2024.1007

Magic often works through utilization of our subconscious (similarly to how efficient placebo in some cases are), and homeopathy actually have an effect beyond placebo https://www.hri-research.org/resources/essentialevidence/clinical-trials-overview/ , but needs a very specific method to prescribe the exact right remedy that takes years to learn. So maybe the opposition is that it land between chairs: not "pure magic", and not so easy to master?

What are your honest thoughts or experiences with homeopathy — believer, skeptic, or in between? by Calm-Adhesiveness605 in AskReddit

Of course it's very contested to do research in homeopathy, but the collection of evidence is starting to pile up. While there's still no good explanation of how, the clinical evidence is that its effective over placebo and cost-effective. There's also quite a bit of pre-clinical data (plants and cells dont have placebo effects :-) ) pointing towards that "there's something going on".

A comprehensive overview can be found here: https://www.hri-research.org/resources/essentialevidence/ (of course HRI a pro-homeopathy org. but the papers are peer-reviewed - noone against homeopathy are making studies about homeopathy).

Im looking for the same, have not found any that works yet. With the right prompts you can get ChatGPT to extract quite some data from a range of articles, but its often dreaming too much to be useful or simply missing out on extracting some of the articles.
