Many TV channels in our area carry marquees shouting at the roof top canvassing for "world class positive homoeopathy. They promise to cure numerous diseases ranging from diabetes to orthopaedic problems.
What is "world class"? Nobody can define. Anybody can claim that the goods and services they sell are of world class.
What is "positive"? Homoeopathy is positive in the sense that it administers as medicine the same substance which caused the symptoms. It does not need an adjective "positive", because the phrase 'positive homoeopathy' leads to an inference about 'negative homoeopathy'.
Homoeopathy, if we go by its basic principles, do not make use of names of diseases such as diabetes. Only symptoms exist. No disease names. Negative homoeopathy arises when doctors and hospitals promise to negate diseases.
The real ineffectiveness of homoeo does not arise from its positive nature or from using disease names. The homoeopathic drugs become disfunctional because they do not contain the medicinal substances which the labels claim to contain. This is due to excessive dilution.
SUMMARY: Beware of claims of phrases like "world class" and "positive homoeopathy".
