Just in case anyone is interested – user Magufo has been placed in the moderation queue and will remain there until such time that he/she stops making the same zombie arguments – to whit –

“Mr. PostDoctor, understand that even 6D dilution is active or not you took basic chemistry?” and variations thereof.

Yes. I have answered this on countless occasions, in direct response to Magufo.

At the risk of repeating myself – remedies where active ingredients remain are plausible, but still need proper testing for efficacy.

Magufo is also questioning my academic record (even though I seem to recall it was them who asked how I was qualified to comment on homeopathy) and seems to believe that because I haven’t published anything on homeopathy, I cannot comment.
I haven’t been shot in the face either, but I am sure that it is extremely painful.
I am not an artist, yet I can appreciate art. You get the gist.

“There is lack of quality in Nelsons and say that for that reason no active ingredient, is like saying that an industry farmacéutcia X or Y (Call it whatever you want) there are no controls and therefore all conventional medicine is flawed”

That’s not what I’m saying. There is no active ingredient in KaliPhos 30C because it has been diluted away.

The lack of QC (in terms of glass in the line) and production controls (no control of the amount remedy in the remedy) is something that real pharma would get seriously reprimanded over. The same should apply to Nelsons.

One can take a table of paracetamol after production, and determine how much active ingredient is in it, and how pure it is. One cannot do the same for most homeopathy remedies, because there is no ingredient to assay.

There is lack of quality in Nelsons and say that for that reason no active ingredient, is like saying that an industry farmacéutcia X or Y (Call it whatever you want) there are no controls and therefore all conventional medicine is flawed.

The rhetoric is very well used by Steven Novella, where extracted such news.

Therefore I see no problems that can warn Nelsons. I do not defend Nelsons. But you like the skeptics are entertained otors fighting quality or assembly lines, but the legal aspect, the studies actually fight.

You can comparame with Ullman or whoever.

Ah, Magufo, you’re back. I note you dodge the serious issue of non-existent QC on homeopathic remedies and shards of glass contaminating production lines, and treat the obvious joke (clearly marked as such by a ) as if it were some heinous crime of logic.

A piece of rhetorical legerdemain worthy of Ullman himself.

You may have to change that 10^23 logo that appears in the top left. “Homeopathy: There’s Nothing In It Except Maybe Shards of Glass”

I bet Mr. Najib Fayad needs some Kali Phos 30C himself after that letter.

Not from batch #36659 though
