Well, can also be (in case of my father or dog) that the aspectations of your surrounding that you will be better now creates a placebo effect in some ways...
But I was indeed speaking about REAL homeopathy, meaning not "normal" plant medecine that contains measurable amounts of stuff that does the deal, but the homeopathy with ... well.. nothing in it, D12 or sth. Makes no sense to me, but I've seen it working.

That's also something that should be noticed: many products are sold as homeopathic while they are actually medicines based on natural ingredients (so not the stuff with only "watermarks" of an active component)

Personally i suspect that the real homeopathic products do work because of a strong placebo effect on some people (the mind can heal)

I agree with Madove

I don't speak (or read) netherlands, but as a german I more or less guess what you wrote...
I voted "Yes" because I've seen it working some time on people who didn't know it was being applied (for example my father ;-) ) or animals, and where I would exclude therefore the placebo effect.
I see absolutely NO scientific explanation why it should be working, but there exist still a lot of things without satisfactory scientific explanations, and to me, homeopathy seems to be one.

Edit: beschrijving week af van voter-description. (Ik geloof dat de mogelijkheid bestaat / sluit niet uit, maar ik geloof niet)

Dat is toch het hele idee van homeopathie, het placebo effect?
