#005 Homoeopathy cannot prevent or cure Swine flu

The Homoeopathic practitioners in India claim success in preventing/curing Swine flu (H1N1 virus), which is spreading fast.

The homoeopathic system of medicine is unscientific. The drugs made using the method of trituration and succusion founded by Samuel Hahneman, do not work because they do not contain the basic substances of the medicines, whose labels they carry. Excessive dilution in the potentisation is the reason for the absence of the medicinal substances in the homoeopathic preparations.

Those who consume homoeopathic drugs under the impression that they will work, will have the same effect as those who use no medication at all.

The homoeopathic medical practitioners do not have time or inclination to verify whether the homoeopathic preparations sold by pharmaceutical companies do really have any substances. Their minds do not think in a rationalistic way. Consequently, they mislead people about the curative powers of homoeopathy and make a living.

Governments spend money on homoeopathic colleges, hospitals and medicines without proper investigation and swindle millions.
