Like chiropractic practice, homeopathy has a wide range of practitioners and
variable ethics.
I suspend judgment also, but can see that some of the common practices are
obvious chicanery, but suspect there may be some underlying truths.
I also have seen that in chiropractic.. For years relied on a good
chiropractor who could straighten me right up in moments so that I would
happily walk out the door after hobbling in by twisting me in a pretzel and
dropping his (considerable) weight on me. In San Diego, I went to a
chiropractor expecting the same, and was treated to a half-hour with a tiny
cattle prod and fairy talk that did nothing. So, in these things YMMV. A
lot.
Anyhow, "the dose is the solution", I think is the saying, or maybe it is
the other way around. Something we have to keep constantly in mind is the
Hormesis Effect, discussed previously here on BEE-L. From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis:
"Hormesis (from Greek hórmesis "rapid motion, eagerness," from ancient Greek
hormáein "to set in motion, impel, urge on") is the term for
generally-favorable biological responses to low exposures to toxins and
other stressors. A pollutant or toxin showing hormesis thus has the opposite
effect in small doses as in large doses.-
