Okay two things: Firstly, you are speaking of homeopathic medicine as it is called in the U.S., and even though it was invented in Germany it is something entirely different in Europe. Not diluted herbs and stuff. Just regular foods and herbs used to alleviate pain and symptoms. Like ginger for stomach aches. Stuff like that.
Secondly, the homeopathy as it is known in the U.S. is not a complete farce and the majority of the scientific community does not reject it because it does help people, even if it's solely a placebo effect. What matters is the end result. Saying that your personal experience is irrelevant is a ridiculous thing to say. We're talking about methods of healing people, and the best way to figure out what works is to see what effects these methods have on people, even if they have not been scientifically proven. Surely you can't be that narrow-minded, DJ.
