Is homeopathy an effective alternative medicine or an unproven, unscientific sham? Comedian Michael Regilio joins us for Skeptical Sunday to find out!
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:
-
Homeopathy is an alternative medicine with a long history, relying on the principle of "like cures like" and the idea that water has memory.
-
Despite lacking scientific proof, homeopathic products are widely marketed and sold, even though they're required to carry warnings of unproven efficacy.
-
Homeopathic practices have faced criticism, and DNA testing has even revealed mislabeled or diluted ingredients and dangerous products on the market.
-
Some people turn to homeopathy for stress relief and placebo effects, but many are unaware of its lack of scientific basis.
- While there's pushback against homeopathy, it continues to thrive due to marketing, endorsements by celebrities, and regulatory gaps.
