RE: Homeopathy Can Help People With Cancer
Did you read the article? The current chemo she is on has controlled some of the cancer symptoms. However, the oncologists have told her this is terminal cancer, there is no cure. I'm not quite sure how you've quickly get into this science/not science dichotomy, it's an error in thinking. Science is a method of enquiry, nothing more. Chemo: 'science', herbs: 'not science', that's religious thinking (the church of scientism) , it's not rational or logical.
1 case is not enough, it is a nice fairy tale, not more.
Peer reviewed double blind test, that is hard truth and rational, logical thinking.
Not enough for what? I'm not claiming 'truth'. It's labelled as a 'case study'. From patterns in many case studies we might start to build hypotheses to test our theories. Then people may design experiments to test if these hypotheses (derived from observations in case studies) are truth.
This is the inductive scientific process at work my friend. You have a ring side seat. Unfortunately I don't have several hundred million $, or a lab, to conduct these experiments you seek, I'm just a clinician. I see cases and try to record my results accurately. Perhaps, if you have the interest, you could petition any research institutes you might have contacts in to conduct these experiments for me. I'd be most grateful :)
In conclusion, case studies aren't 'fairytales', they are the substratum upon which scientific enquiry HAS to rest. An apple hit Newton on the head, lead him to propose his theory of gravity...inductive reasoning. Observe a case, create a model or hypothesis from it, test your hypothesis.
