Episode 7: Is Homeopathy a Science?

Duration 18m

Homeopathy started when scientific medicine was not even born and it was more of a rebellion against the Galenical medicine prevailing in that time in Europe. A close examination shows that the homeopathic pills do not contain any active molecule and the effect is either coincidental or a "placebo effect." The reasons for its popularity include faith, fear of side-effects of modern drugs, or surgery.
