Auto Ai psychic bots work better then brown lol, as they can fetch data and cold read a lot better than her. Sad in 2020, people still believe in silly magical/supernatural/paranormal/invisible claims.
The correct way to pay a homeopathic practitioner is to leave a small coin in a big glass of water for ten minutes and then give him a tiny drop of the water
I get that it's nonsense. But you have to have some empathy for these people, they are frightened and looking for some hope. Some of them are very sick and are so afraid of death, they try anything. I am much more angry at the people who take advantage of the desperate than I am at the poor, naive people who believe it.
The Debunkist--as Wm. Shakespeare once wrote--and I misquote: "I can call to the spirits in the briney deep," "Why, so can I, and so can any man. But when you call to them, do they come?"
Just for anyone who's curious about AAH Replies' link, I'll let you know beforehand that it's as braindead as it sounds. The site's called "allaboutheaven", which is the first red flag, but looking through the stories there, none of them have any sort of verification, and they're just...completely anecdotal stories. I could literally go to a creepypasta site, or a fan fiction site, and read stories that have as much verification as the stories on that site. So no, they don't come. I've welcomed any evidence that spirits exist my whole life (purely because I think it'd be fascinating), even while I was being dragged through long hours of prayer and service with the foster family I used to live with, and there has been ZERO evidence in my life that spirits exist, and there's been zero actual evidence that any sort of spirits exist.
Experience it directly yourself before you call it lies. Homeopathy has 220+ years of well-documented clinical experience of cures of serious acute and even "incurable" chronic diseases.
@@denarto1920 If the theory of homeopathy had any merit there would be no life on earth considering the effect large amounts of certain materials have on biology as a whole. According to the theory humanity would be dying of lead/mercury/radioactive material poisoning from the very miniscule amount they may come into contact with either from dirt of the less than 1 ppb in different products we consume. Any impurity in the fake medicine would be amplified far greater than the medicine would and as a result would overshadow the effect of the supposed medicine.
@@thatrandom_canadian Are you familiar with the concept of signal to noise ratio? When making a homeopathic remedy they start with the substance and highly purified alcohol and/or distilled water. Each step of the process uses the same. The Signal in whatever (unknown as yet) form of energy is in the substance is strengthened as it is diluted repeatedly in the correct way with the same relatively low energy diluent. Instead of relying on your intellect to work on this problem why dont you just experience it in the various ways possible: do a homeopathic proving, learn some skills to treat an animal, or plant or yourself for a non-serious acute condition, or get chronic care from a practitioner. That will clear up your view of it
Homeopathy as practice asserts that the lesser the concentration of a solution,the stronger it is a as a dose. If an overdose in homeopathy is taking the least concentrated solution, then not taking the solution is the most fatal of actions...the exaggeration is indeedly funny. 😂😂😂😂
Three years later and I still miss James Randi's intellect, commitment to his specialism and rare ability to address many differing types and communities with integrity, humour and the truth.
I used to think that people who were conned by psychic mediums were stupid and deserved to lose their money until my own dear father died 6 years ago, only then did I fully understand just how emotionally vulnerable grief can make you.
I’m sorry, I lost my mom and even though her death killed the hopeful little girl inside me, but oh my goodness, knowing she couldn’t hurt me ever again - I prayed some charlatan would try me. I’m annoyed I was robbed of the chance to bring a charlatan to task l Iike Randi
I saw it when I got really, really sick and had to recover for almost a year and spend a lot of time online reading about my disease. The amount of people who shamelessly, pure evil, prey on suffering and sick people for their money with lies is shocking. And it is pure evil, because they rely on sowing doubt about their doctors so they can get the 'real' cure, which of course is nonsense and they regress further and further and end up back in the hospital or worse.
Homeopathy works on the sole pillar that it has no side effects and the reason as to why it has no side effect is very evident.. Even in 21st century we have people believing all this crap have we literally stopped evolving.
the only thing that's changed in 10 years is TED. now they'd host a talk about the psychological benefits of homeopathy, and questioning it's efficacy would be deemed some kind of -ist.
@S S 'Pay' a bit of money, and anything goes. Welcome to the real world. The same reason why sniper rifles can be purchased for self-defence in the US.

Yeah I don't think that someone who is always complaining and has absolutely zero things to give except for his own ignorance and synism is particulary a good thing though. To resume all he says, he strikes me as a person that is figuratively trying putting a fork in a stone complaining that it doesn't work..without even figuring out how to make anything work correctly or succesfully. Therefore he is still, all about failure, despite his efforts to make up for having been caught being a 'fraud' himself. He's got issues with himself..
@@grubbybum3614 I mean Randy..; He spends his time living in regret trying to point out what he claims is wrong or fraudulent.. actually some people were actually succesful on stage, without tricks, by not being pushed into a corner, like he does with many, in genuine cases. He doesn't even study how one, anyone can develop psychic abilities, while it's the most natural thing when people are in a healthy spiritual state of being for example. He doesn't teach people anything so doesn't add any value to anyone, you know like a package or a new skill you can 'take home' . He's basically running around telling how stupid he things others are..; and that's it... Nothing thay fills anyone's cup with anything at the end of the day.. I know people like Criss Angel and many more whom's tricks are based on genuine psychic abilities. When I was a kid I could shapeshift physical objects for example, so I know it works, and just like with anything else, there is a science to that. So I think he is wasting his time looking where there are no real answers, because that is the only thing he focusses on..
@@RTMaster1 and he's an idiot. At least Homeopathy is not responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans like allopathic medicine is. Allopathic medicine is the Fraud in this picture. This creep goes around encouraging stupid people to go back to BigPharma medicine that increases risk of death by 1000%. Shame on him; he needs to make money that bad.

Overdose information on homoeopathic "medicine" is actually illegal in some parts of europe because it doesn't contain any traces of medicine and putting that information on there would be considered false advertising.

I can tell you that at least in Spain (my country) there's a huge fight against pseudo science from universities. Like psychologists are making protests and debunking those pseudosciences right now because things like psicoanalisis (things with no scientific basis or proof) are still offered by some universities and they are having a campaign to separate this things from legit, real, science based, psycology because they say It gives a bad image of psychology mixing It with that bulshit and misguiding clients to practices that can just make their situation worse So we will probably have them banned in some years or heavily restrained because all the experts are against It
@ : Psychoanalysis? What is that? As for homeopathy, I wish in Canada, Health Canada would put some descent information on their website and also blocked these charlatans (homeopaths and their none sense drugs).
@paul8kangas You're confusing correlation with causation. I would walk to each city and make it my mission that someone as dangerously misinformed as you would never make it on a ballot.
I was an unpaid intern for a while at Continental Cablevision in the early 90's & was a camera man for "Pathways Thru Astrology" amongst other shows. Sylvia Brown was a regular guest. She was completely candid & without guile. During a break, I zoomed in my camera while she was picking her nose for a full 2 minutes & was past the knuckle deep! I zoomed so close that her honker & intruding digit filled the entire screen! Over the headset I heard screams of delight, Gaff-haws & squeals, until I heard the director (who was not above swearing like a sailor) say very calmly, "Thank you, Camera 1, please return to your original position." I do truly hope that footage remains somewhere in the celluloid stratosphere, perhaps on a community cable channel best of blooper reel.
@@fritzsmith3296 What exactly is good ethics? Please remember that ethics are a very subjective matter. I highly doubt Kevin is blind to his definition of good ethics. There is absolutely no requirement for his view on the subject to align with yours. You, on the other hand, are obviously an uneducated religious quack that wishes ill on other humans. May God have mercy on your overly judgmental soul.
I'm kinda middle between past lives because think of how many sperms one man's testicles hold, I think it's millions or billions, something like that. Now if they all have a soul, then we'd have millions potential souls hanging around in our testicles. And what about bacteria, do they have souls too? Or does soul start to inhabit the body after sperm meets egg cell and they mingle for a while? I'm leaning a bit on that, but not sure, because for all we know the sperm cells and bacteria might have more sentience than we think. But if they dont, then it's doubtful they have souls either. It's commonly accepted in most of not all religions and spiritual philosophies that the soul leaves the body after death. That indicates that soul wasn't there during the sperm phase, but after the embryo was formed, because otherwise soul would scatter into all these bacteria and soul residue would be consumed by whatever sentients who consume the dead body, feeding on the soul too. I think some cultures believe that eating parts of your enemy gives you their power, even soul power, so who knows. It doesn't matter what the general consensus is on soul cycle and the existence of soul, and it doesn't matter if charlatans purposefully pollute this issue with their greed and egoism. What matters is how things really are in this issue and being superficial and taking the easiest answer without consideration is intellectual dishonesty. Only your ego gains from intellectual dishonesty, and ego is a primitive survival mechanism for us to surpass our physical limits, not an intellectual power.
They're playing with the victim's wishes. If they get to hear what they like they stay. If past lives are a thing, statistically speaking most people would have past lives of historical unimportant people, that's just what most people that ever lived were
Unfortunately, James Randi died in October 2020, and he won't be contacting you because dead people can't communicate. He was a great one while he was alive. RIP.
@Miss Leann unfortunately for you ideas are real and they are alive. they copy themselves from one mind to the other and birth new ideas by coming together just like animals/people do. Ideas even go to war with one another and wipe other ideas out. The ideas of Jesus stand through time not because some fear of the unknown but because they ring true when put to the test. If you actually seek the "real deal" he will honor that. But be warned its more like being thrown on to Omaha beach than going to sunday school.
@@damnation8794 Jesus is about as real as the Mesopotamian myths he was based on. Amazing how every christian fails to study history of their own book, almost like they don't want to know...
This was a decade ago. Ten years later, and people have only gotten worse. Here in India Homeopathy is even getting official authorisation to practice by the government. The worst thing is the govt officials themselves would never have to rely on these frauds, it's the people who will go for it.
@@NarendraKumar-qc1uh There is no scientific studies that proved it. So it does not. And Randi proved it’s all a scam by taking lethal dose of homeopathic pills.
@star 3 The failures of science do not imply the use of alternative medicine just like airplane crashes do not justify the use of flying carpets. Just like flying carpets do not exist alternative medicine does not work. 1500 trials ruled homeopathy nothing better than placebo. Anyways every ancient civilization knew the earth was round it took years of course because at first science was plagued by supernatural nonsense when rigorousness started pouring in it accelerated. Search Eratosthenes he proved the earth is around 2000 years ago so shut up nonsense peddler. If homeopathy works you are drinking my piss whenever you drink any kind of water.
I've noticed comments about the height of his pants and the fullness of his beard. 88 years old! How many people do you know with such vitality at that age? No mystery. He said himself that he has chosen a clear mind without drugs or stimulants. Clear mind-clear body. Stop nit picking about the trivial.
Pretty much. In homeopathy, the more dilute the solution is, the more effective the medicine is. (So they say.) So the less medicine in the solution, the stronger it is. Following that logic, Randi says that it would be strongest of all if you took NO medicine, and overdosed by not taking it! (He meant by his joke to show what bologna homoeopathy is.)
That doesn't do the Air Guitar justice. It gives you a good workout for arms and shoulders, a positive mindset and recognition from the audience. That does tons more for you than *any* pharmaceutical product.
@@mareksuchowski9127 I was going to give your comment a like until you said "*any* pharmaceutical product." Obviously painkillers like aspirin do something, sleeping pills, narcotics, etc. You should have just left it to homoeopathy.

AussieBlokeGordo Good joke. Reminds me of the great fun the reasonable people had with the ridiculous idea that the Earth is round. Or that you can talk to somebody on the other side of the town through a wire. Or that you can see through human body (Lord Kelvin, then outgoing President of the Royal Society declared X-Rays a hoax).
Rex Nemovi except that those things had evidence at the time, not only does homeopathy not have evidence, there is actually proof that it has no effect
@@arnouth5260 Funny. The evidence of the Earth being round was of the kind that only people highly trained in both astrology and math could understand it, on the other hand, Lord Kelvin has dismissed as a hoax a phenomenon that anybody cold see with their own eyes. I would love to see what a study *proving* that something doesn't have any effect looks like. Reminds me of the *scientific proof* that machines heavier than air cannot and won't fly. You see, the problem with *proving* that something doesn't work is an entire different ballgame than claiming that it cannot be proven that it does work. Because it only takes one single instance of anecdotal evidence to render the *proof* invalid. And I know of more than one instance of anecdotal evidence.
Back in 1989 I was supposed to interview a psychic on my radio show on the CBS affiliate in Charlotte (NC). He was late arriving to the radio station and got there only moments before the show went. He apologized for being late. He had gotten lost and couldn't find the station having never been there before. I never said anything on the air, but wondered, if he was a psychic, how come he couldn't use his powers to find the place. After he left, the staff had a big laugh over it.
You know what’s sad… Just three years before this, Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry’s mother her missing daughter (Amanda) was dead, ON Montel’s show. In 2013, Amanda Berry was one of the 3 girls who escaped Castro’s basement, after nearly a decade in captivity. Her mother, the one Sylvia told this “news”, died in 2006 believing her daughter was already dead. So, when Randi made this speech, it was 3 years after Brown told Berry’s mother, 1 year after that mother passed away, and Amanda Berry was creepily fighting to survive shackled in a brutal man’s basement. The very moment he was speaking these things, that poor girl was proof…and we wouldn’t even know for 6 more years. Just a very sad & creepy thing, to think about. Scary. What is going on right NOW, that none of us know, but will find out in the coming years. Just eerie. Even when this was posted on TH-cam, we STILL didn’t know, about Amanda Berry.
It's either that or go through each day constantly hitching your drawers. No one wants to see us adjust ourselves every few minutes, and even fewer people are happy to get a look at our plumber's crack. That's probably why it's a law (or should be.) XD
James Randi was the heir to Houdini, both because of his skills as an illusionist and his passionate dedication to debunking people who claimed to be psychics or claimed to have actual magical powers. I am so sad to learn of his passing.
Absolutely Jayne! Just my opinion but James Randi is one of the greatest men in modern history. I love and admire him soo much. I wish I could've seen him live and meet him.
Passing: to go through life. If that is the use I am not sad about that because he was good for the world. And thanks to these videos is now immortal. Yippee. Passing: to go from this life to another after life. Pretty sure Randi did not believe that. So he hasn't passed. He has died and is now dead. Now that is sad. But we all have to go sometime and forever but he left his mark.
Foster Thorbjornsen All medicine comes from natural resources. You should listen to a grown up, like a medicinal scientist. And natural medicine had nothing to do with psychics and such.
@@lostmartyr6828 Are you saying that homeopathy is credible medicine? If so, you're the one who needs to learn some science so you can critically evaluate such nonsense.
Laura Harris Im saying all medicine came from organic ingredients which is primary active source, not synthetic. All of your medicine is practically homeopathic. Everything from aspirin to valium works off natural resources. Fully synthetic pills are usually copying or trying to copy molecular compounds. And also, yes, homeopathic medicines work and is confirmed by the US department of human health sciences. I am not a medical scientist but my friends, step family, and ex fiancee is so my sources are in fact credible.

@@Solmaz_S : It's nice that you hate homeopathy. I hate it as well since it is quackery. It comes from the dark ages of science (early 19th century). Chemistry advanced, biochemistry has been established, medicine has advanced. Homeopathy is obviously crap. The only people in support of it have very little science education. They try to make excuses like "Big Pharma and government is against them". The reality is that university researches for about 150 y from all over the world have established how reality operates. Homeopaths are living in a world of fantasy (water having memory).

thenekom Oh god, now you speak to the dead psychic! This is inception... or meta? I can’t decide. Are you still alive or is this like the 6th Sense movie and you don’t know you’ve died yet?
So true ! I went to a "psychic" to "talk" to my childhood friend Angela that was hit by a car when she was 5 . I was 9 . The psychic couldn't tell me anything, she was guessing that my mom , grandmother etc. were gone once she "hit" on a female is who I was there to see. It left me even more devastated.
Matt Bergman I watched but fail to understand why he makes the world better. He "disproves" some people's cons in front of people who didn't believe in those cons. How's that changing anything. If the followers of those conmen actually turn and start supporting Randi then that's doing something. We don't see that happening here. So his Ted talk might be fun or entertaining but it doesn't do squat to "better" the world.
Matt Bergman How do you know they did. And your logic has looped us back to my original question- how does any of us know that Randi is making the world better?
His foundation is still up, isn't it? It's an open invitation and challenge to anyone who claims to possess psychic powers. He also exposed people like Uri Geller and Peter Popoff. The latter of those two was the most dangerous, as his claim to "smite" things like cancer out of people can encourage not getting proper treatment.
Randi is a fraud and conman himself and he knows it. What he does is seek out obvious frauds, and uses them to dismiss entire concepts while ignoring and not acknowledging the very real and proven cases of ufo summoning, chi energy, sun gazing and not needing food or water...all proven on mainstream media even...so where is Randi with these people?! Nowhere. Why? Because he’s a fucking fraud!
Back in the 90's one of my friends parents were really into homeopathic medicine. I remember him taking some pills one day and I asked him what kind of medicine he was taking. My thirteen year old brain heard him say "my homophobic pills." I was a polite thirteen year old so I didn't ask any more questions.
You will be missed king. I know someone who legit seeked a doctor for his cancer after he disproved faith healing methods he "relied" on, dude's only alive today thanks to James and I imagine there's thousands more like him.
I can't stand homeopathy, but what really pissed me off was a commercial I saw for homeopathic pain pills for pets. That's worse than tricking people. If the pain is in your head, the placebo effect will make it go away. If it's real, you'll not take it again. But for pets, they can't make these decisions; they're stuck with the pain while their owners delude themselves into thinking their pets are better. It's simply animal cruelty.
And yet, it WORKS on animals! When they stop whimpering or vomiting or scratching, they aren't saying that they THINK they're feeling better...they ARE feeling better! Why is this so difficult to understand?
@@thear1s I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. Are you saying that non-drugs make critters, babies, and their parents better, or maybe that all three groups just imagine that they're better after taking placebos? Homeopathics made my cat's rash go away, so I definitely like them.
That's one possible scenario of what happens when your cat takes a placebo. Several things can happen: the owner's bias (expects to see improvements that aren't that notable), the illness goes away by itself (like most of the illnesses for which homeopathy is prescribed) and/or good old placebo effect (daddy/owner/doctor is taking care of me, it's going to be alright). The potency of the placebo can change depending on factors such as if the doctor is aware he's giving a placebo and the price of the pill. We're too quick to think psychological effects don't happen on animals and infants too. In your cat's case, it could be a coincidence (two things that happen at the same time may not be linked), or psychological factors. Both are much more likely than the chemical effect of a sugar pill for which overwhelming scientific experimental evidence show they don't work better than placebo. In short: giving these pills to your cat is probably better than doing nothing, but if an effective medical treatment exists, you should definitively prioritize using it.
@@thear1s A rash (dermatitis) is palpable and observable. Its absence/disappearance is also observable. How on earth my emotions enter into the picture is a mystery. Have you further words of enlightenment?
It's only a matter of time until some fake psychic claims to have contacted James from beyond the grave. You watch. I am gutted to hear about him passing away. Legend xx
Found this thanks to Jarvis Johnson who mentioned James in a recent livestream. What a funny and clever man, and I love the way his skepticism doesn't seem to come from a place of simply wanting to be right, but from a caring place. He just wanted to call out situations of fraud, support those who have been scammed, and steer other potential victims away from those looking to take advantage of them. Rest in peace James, may your wisdom live on :)
Err... I've just seen this response. Are you stalking me? And wtf Is wrong with you? Do you really have such a tiny brain you direct me to a skeptic site on skeptics? Lol One person. If one person proves they have psychic abilities they get a million bucks. I guess no one wants the money lol
That noise ruined the whole show for me. It wasn't his beard though, it's even stupider than that. It's his baggy dress shirt brushing against the mic taped to his chest. The mic is hidden under his shirt just above his pocket, he taps it at 0:14. The show is ruined just for the benefit of the "electric razor/mic gag".

@@bidibum So take the money and don't whine. Ah, you can't? Because you cannot comprehend what Randi is doing? So keep on complaining and denouncing. Or do yourself a favour and begin to learn how science works to distinguish fraud and delusion from real effects.
You can't overdose using homeopathy properly, and it's inexpensive, so of course it's been suppressed, as is holistic medicine in general. Naturopathic doctors finding cures for disease keep dying - can't imagine why (sarcasm). If you forget to take the homeopathic medicine, then it's impossible to overdose on it, but I guess you can't get your mind around that fact with your twisted thinking?

garima deo your one case versus millions of patients being cured everyday by 'allopathy' or rather actual medicine based on actual science. Homeopathy is nothing but sugar water. It just gives a patient fake faith that he's being cured. Nothing but placebo
garima deo Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately, that gives me a 404 error. Maybe provide a proper link. Also, I asked for your proof, and I am not sure a google book would qualify as your proof of treating paralysis patients, am I right?
garima deo Sure, I wish you could show me the proof. A million dollars from the James Randi Foundation and most possibly a Nobel Prize await you if you could come forth with a proof. With all this, you will be able to bring a lot more smiles to people all around the world if you could prove homeopathy works for paralysis. Just imagine how many people would be so happy to find themselves cured! I really encourage you to come forward with the proof. On a side note, the foundation I work with has a ton of documented cases of people who reported no improvements with homeopathic medicines and in the case of fatal maladies, eventually death because they refused to believe in anything but homeopathy. Quite a few cases that are facing prosecution in the court too. Anyways, I rest my case here. Sadly, the same thing repeats, not a single proof from homeopathy. I am even willing to get the proof from your place if you please so. Until a proof comes forth, from the so called practitioners of *"Homeopathic* *Medicine"* themselves, homeopathy is indeed labelled quackery. Have a great day ahead.
garima deo Thanks for the link. The book very conveniently mentions only that "anecdotal evidences exists". And the two papers mentioned in the book have in *no* *way* confirmed that homeopathy is a legit medical practise. I invite you to go through the length and breadth of those two papers mentioned. There are a ton of "anecdotal evidences" for all kinds of sorts and sorcery in this world btw, all to be disproved and dispersed when seen and followed through with reason and science.

It is amazing to me how many people buy in total nonsense. I love your payment idea. That is how all people who buy into this should be paid.
I get that it's nonsense. But you have to have some empathy for these people, they are frightened and looking for some hope. Some of them are very sick and are so afraid of death, they try anything.
I am much more angry at the people who take advantage of the desperate than I am at the poor, naive people who believe it.
Anyone can talk to the dead. Getting the dead to talk back, now that's the real trick!

Just for anyone who's curious about AAH Replies' link, I'll let you know beforehand that it's as braindead as it sounds. The site's called "allaboutheaven", which is the first red flag, but looking through the stories there, none of them have any sort of verification, and they're just...completely anecdotal stories. I could literally go to a creepypasta site, or a fan fiction site, and read stories that have as much verification as the stories on that site.
So no, they don't come. I've welcomed any evidence that spirits exist my whole life (purely because I think it'd be fascinating), even while I was being dragged through long hours of prayer and service with the foster family I used to live with, and there has been ZERO evidence in my life that spirits exist, and there's been zero actual evidence that any sort of spirits exist.

Experience it directly yourself before you call it lies. Homeopathy has 220+ years of well-documented clinical experience of cures of serious acute and even "incurable" chronic diseases.
@@denarto1920 If the theory of homeopathy had any merit there would be no life on earth considering the effect large amounts of certain materials have on biology as a whole. According to the theory humanity would be dying of lead/mercury/radioactive material poisoning from the very miniscule amount they may come into contact with either from dirt of the less than 1 ppb in different products we consume. Any impurity in the fake medicine would be amplified far greater than the medicine would and as a result would overshadow the effect of the supposed medicine.
@@thatrandom_canadian Are you familiar with the concept of signal to noise ratio? When making a homeopathic remedy they start with the substance and highly purified alcohol and/or distilled water. Each step of the process uses the same. The Signal in whatever (unknown as yet) form of energy is in the substance is strengthened as it is diluted repeatedly in the correct way with the same relatively low energy diluent.
Instead of relying on your intellect to work on this problem why dont you just experience it in the various ways possible: do a homeopathic proving, learn some skills to treat an animal, or plant or yourself for a non-serious acute condition, or get chronic care from a practitioner. That will clear up your view of it

It's a shame that even after 10 years nothing has changed. Homeopathic institutions and practitioners are flourishing every nook and corner of India.
Why are Indians so easily fooled? It's not just homeopathy, they seem to believe in all supernatural bullshit
its just lack of awareness in schools and by governments. Even i got to know about it after 21 years of my life. lol
Homeopathy works on the sole pillar that it has no side effects and the reason as to why it has no side effect is very evident.. Even in 21st century we have people believing all this crap have we literally stopped evolving.
the only thing that's changed in 10 years is TED. now they'd host a talk about the psychological benefits of homeopathy, and questioning it's efficacy would be deemed some kind of -ist.

Overdose information on homoeopathic "medicine" is actually illegal in some parts of europe because it doesn't contain any traces of medicine and putting that information on there would be considered false advertising.
I can tell you that at least in Spain (my country) there's a huge fight against pseudo science from universities. Like psychologists are making protests and debunking those pseudosciences right now because things like psicoanalisis (things with no scientific basis or proof) are still offered by some universities and they are having a campaign to separate this things from legit, real, science based, psycology because they say It gives a bad image of psychology mixing It with that bulshit and misguiding clients to practices that can just make their situation worse
So we will probably have them banned in some years or heavily restrained because all the experts are against It

Yeah, I've noticed that with past lives. Everyone's a queen or king, no ditch diggers or poor, anonymous farmers.
I'm kinda middle between past lives because think of how many sperms one man's testicles hold, I think it's millions or billions, something like that. Now if they all have a soul, then we'd have millions potential souls hanging around in our testicles. And what about bacteria, do they have souls too? Or does soul start to inhabit the body after sperm meets egg cell and they mingle for a while? I'm leaning a bit on that, but not sure, because for all we know the sperm cells and bacteria might have more sentience than we think. But if they dont, then it's doubtful they have souls either.
It's commonly accepted in most of not all religions and spiritual philosophies that the soul leaves the body after death. That indicates that soul wasn't there during the sperm phase, but after the embryo was formed, because otherwise soul would scatter into all these bacteria and soul residue would be consumed by whatever sentients who consume the dead body, feeding on the soul too. I think some cultures believe that eating parts of your enemy gives you their power, even soul power, so who knows.
It doesn't matter what the general consensus is on soul cycle and the existence of soul, and it doesn't matter if charlatans purposefully pollute this issue with their greed and egoism. What matters is how things really are in this issue and being superficial and taking the easiest answer without consideration is intellectual dishonesty. Only your ego gains from intellectual dishonesty, and ego is a primitive survival mechanism for us to surpass our physical limits, not an intellectual power.

Pretty much. In homeopathy, the more dilute the solution is, the more effective the medicine is. (So they say.) So the less medicine in the solution, the stronger it is.

Because it only takes one single instance of anecdotal evidence to render the *proof* invalid. And I know of more than one instance of anecdotal evidence.
Back in 1989 I was supposed to interview a psychic on my radio show on the CBS affiliate in Charlotte (NC). He was late arriving to the radio station and got there only moments before the show went. He apologized for being late. He had gotten lost and couldn't find the station having never been there before. I never said anything on the air, but wondered, if he was a psychic, how come he couldn't use his powers to find the place. After he left, the staff had a big laugh over it.

Are you serious?? lol.. psychics can't know evrthg, they're not omniscient
Late, due to unforeseen circumstances
You know what’s sad…
Just three years before this, Sylvia Browne told Amanda Berry’s mother her missing daughter (Amanda) was dead, ON Montel’s show.
In 2013, Amanda Berry was one of the 3 girls who escaped Castro’s basement, after nearly a decade in captivity.
Her mother, the one Sylvia told this “news”, died in 2006 believing her daughter was already dead.
So, when Randi made this speech, it was 3 years after Brown told Berry’s mother, 1 year after that mother passed away, and Amanda Berry was creepily fighting to survive shackled in a brutal man’s basement. The very moment he was speaking these things, that poor girl was proof…and we wouldn’t even know for 6 more years.

Shh! Followers of homeopathy will claim that that's the reason for his long life!
Staying hydrated is a good key for long life, in fairness!
You see, all that homeopathic medecin IS working! He's chewing it down like there's no tomorrow, and just look at him going! ;)

James Randi was the heir to Houdini, both because of his skills as an illusionist and his passionate dedication to debunking people who claimed to be psychics or claimed to have actual magical powers. I am so sad to learn of his passing.
He found true immortality in the minds of all of us.
I just imagine, how he and Houdini are trying to get contact to a medium from beyond but failed, cause they are all charlatans.
Absolutely Jayne! Just my opinion but James Randi is one of the greatest men in modern history. I love and admire him soo much. I wish I could've seen him live and meet him.
I guess the sleeping pills took in all his talks finally were effective.. RIP James Randi
Passing: to go through life. If that is the use I am not sad about that because he was good for the world. And thanks to these videos is now immortal. Yippee. Passing: to go from this life to another after life. Pretty sure Randi did not believe that. So he hasn't passed. He has died and is now dead. Now that is sad. But we all have to go sometime and forever but he left his mark.
what a man!! he will be greatly missed.
Homeopathy: the air guitar of medicine.
Foster Thorbjornsen All medicine comes from natural resources. You should listen to a grown up, like a medicinal scientist. And natural medicine had nothing to do with psychics and such.
@@lostmartyr6828 Are you saying that homeopathy is credible medicine? If so, you're the one who needs to learn some science so you can critically evaluate such nonsense.
Laura Harris Im saying all medicine came from organic ingredients which is primary active source, not synthetic. All of your medicine is practically homeopathic. Everything from aspirin to valium works off natural resources. Fully synthetic pills are usually copying or trying to copy molecular compounds. And also, yes, homeopathic medicines work and is confirmed by the US department of human health sciences. I am not a medical scientist but my friends, step family, and ex fiancee is so my sources are in fact credible.
@@lostmartyr6828 Homeopathy claims that the more diluted the active substance is the more effective it is. That's the problem - not that it's herbal.

@@Solmaz_S :
It's nice that you hate homeopathy. I hate it as well since it is quackery. It comes from the dark ages of science (early 19th century).
Chemistry advanced, biochemistry has been established, medicine has advanced. Homeopathy is obviously crap. The only people in support of it have very little science education. They try to make excuses like "Big Pharma and government is against them". The reality is that university researches for about 150 y from all over the world have established how reality operates.
Homeopaths are living in a world of fantasy (water having memory).

Randi is, indeed, amazing.
So true ! I went to a "psychic" to "talk" to my childhood friend Angela that was hit by a car when she was 5 . I was 9 . The psychic couldn't tell me anything, she was guessing that my mom , grandmother etc. were gone once she "hit" on a female is who I was there to see. It left me even more devastated.
Thumbs up to James Randy for calling these psychic frauds out on their bullshit
Hope you didn't pay for services.
I like this guy. He can wittily present his case and actually doing something to make this world better.
xxlCortez Why do you think he is making the world better?
Matt Bergman I watched but fail to understand why he makes the world better. He "disproves" some people's cons in front of people who didn't believe in those cons. How's that changing anything. If the followers of those conmen actually turn and start supporting Randi then that's doing something. We don't see that happening here. So his Ted talk might be fun or entertaining but it doesn't do squat to "better" the world.
Matt Bergman How do you know they did. And your logic has looped us back to my original question- how does any of us know that Randi is making the world better?
His foundation is still up, isn't it? It's an open invitation and challenge to anyone who claims to possess psychic powers.
He also exposed people like Uri Geller and Peter Popoff. The latter of those two was the most dangerous, as his claim to "smite" things like cancer out of people can encourage not getting proper treatment.
Randi is a fraud and conman himself and he knows it.
What he does is seek out obvious frauds, and uses them to dismiss entire concepts while ignoring and not acknowledging the very real and proven cases of ufo summoning, chi energy, sun gazing and not needing food or water...all proven on mainstream media even...so where is Randi with these people?! Nowhere. Why? Because he’s a fucking fraud!
Rest In Peace James Randi
Maybe Sylvia Brown will reach him?
Back in the 90's one of my friends parents were really into homeopathic medicine. I remember him taking some pills one day and I asked him what kind of medicine he was taking. My thirteen year old brain heard him say "my homophobic pills." I was a polite thirteen year old so I didn't ask any more questions.
Some white homophobic pills, I'm sure!
Sorry I meant to read more and pressed thumb down instead sorry
You will be missed king. I know someone who legit seeked a doctor for his cancer after he disproved faith healing methods he "relied" on, dude's only alive today thanks to James and I imagine there's thousands more like him.
I can't stand homeopathy, but what really pissed me off was a commercial I saw for homeopathic pain pills for pets. That's worse than tricking people. If the pain is in your head, the placebo effect will make it go away. If it's real, you'll not take it again. But for pets, they can't make these decisions; they're stuck with the pain while their owners delude themselves into thinking their pets are better. It's simply animal cruelty.
And yet, it WORKS on animals! When they stop whimpering or vomiting or scratching, they aren't saying that they THINK they're feeling better...they ARE feeling better! Why is this so difficult to understand?
Placebo works on animals, infants and their gardians. It's a pretty well understood mechanism.
@@thear1s
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. Are you saying that non-drugs make critters, babies, and their parents better, or maybe that all three groups just imagine that they're better after taking placebos?
Homeopathics made my cat's rash go away, so I definitely like them.
That's one possible scenario of what happens when your cat takes a placebo. Several things can happen: the owner's bias (expects to see improvements that aren't that notable), the illness goes away by itself (like most of the illnesses for which homeopathy is prescribed) and/or good old placebo effect (daddy/owner/doctor is taking care of me, it's going to be alright). The potency of the placebo can change depending on factors such as if the doctor is aware he's giving a placebo and the price of the pill. We're too quick to think psychological effects don't happen on animals and infants too. In your cat's case, it could be a coincidence (two things that happen at the same time may not be linked), or psychological factors. Both are much more likely than the chemical effect of a sugar pill for which overwhelming scientific experimental evidence show they don't work better than placebo.
In short: giving these pills to your cat is probably better than doing nothing, but if an effective medical treatment exists, you should definitively prioritize using it.
@@thear1s
A rash (dermatitis) is palpable and observable. Its absence/disappearance is also observable. How on earth my emotions enter into the picture is a mystery. Have you further words of enlightenment?
It's only a matter of time until some fake psychic claims to have contacted James from beyond the grave. You watch. I am gutted to hear about him passing away. Legend xx

Found this thanks to Jarvis Johnson who mentioned James in a recent livestream. What a funny and clever man, and I love the way his skepticism doesn't seem to come from a place of simply wanting to be right, but from a caring place. He just wanted to call out situations of fraud, support those who have been scammed, and steer other potential victims away from those looking to take advantage of them.

That noise ruined the whole show for me. It wasn't his beard though, it's even stupider than that. It's his baggy dress shirt brushing against the mic taped to his chest.

13:32, ''the guy forgot to take his pill and died of an overdose'' Best joke i've heard in a long time and perfectly describe homeopathy

You can't overdose using homeopathy properly, and it's inexpensive, so of course it's been suppressed, as is holistic medicine in general. Naturopathic doctors finding cures for disease keep dying - can't imagine why (sarcasm). If you forget to take the homeopathic medicine, then it's impossible to overdose on it, but I guess you can't get your mind around that fact with your twisted thinking?

garima deo Thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately, that gives me a 404 error. Maybe provide a proper link. Also, I asked for your proof, and I am not sure a google book would qualify as your proof of treating paralysis patients, am I right?
garima deo Sure, I wish you could show me the proof. A million dollars from the James Randi Foundation and most possibly a Nobel Prize await you if you could come forth with a proof. With all this, you will be able to bring a lot more smiles to people all around the world if you could prove homeopathy works for paralysis. Just imagine how many people would be so happy to find themselves cured! I really encourage you to come forward with the proof.
On a side note, the foundation I work with has a ton of documented cases of people who reported no improvements with homeopathic medicines and in the case of fatal maladies, eventually death because they refused to believe in anything but homeopathy. Quite a few cases that are facing prosecution in the court too. Anyways, I rest my case here. Sadly, the same thing repeats, not a single proof from homeopathy. I am even willing to get the proof from your place if you please so. Until a proof comes forth, from the so called practitioners of *"Homeopathic* *Medicine"* themselves, homeopathy is indeed labelled quackery. Have a great day ahead.
garima deo Thanks for the link. The book very conveniently mentions only that "anecdotal evidences exists". And the two papers mentioned in the book have in *no* *way* confirmed that homeopathy is a legit medical practise. I invite you to go through the length and breadth of those two papers mentioned. There are a ton of "anecdotal evidences" for all kinds of sorts and sorcery in this world btw, all to be disproved and dispersed when seen and followed through with reason and science.
