Using white vinegar and rubbing alcohol is a common homeopathic remedy for swimmer's ear
I'm conflicted. On one hand, that's no homeopathy in any shape or form. On the other hand, in no shape or form does homeopathy work. So I guess the bullshits cancel each other out?
Homeopathy definitely works. Vaccines are an example of a homeopathic remedy that has shown enormous success.
In what world are vaccines homeopathic?
Shhh, the doctor told us to go along with it.
Vaccines treat disease using the disease itself. That’s the definition of homeopathic medicine.
Vaccines are not so diluted that they contain nothing of what they claim to contain---but homeopathic remedies are.
Some homeopathic remedies are. Those instances are not the basis of the word’s definition.
