Minutus

Agree, yes! Leave it open and wait for people who have thus far been too busy, on holiday or away from the computer. I know at least 2 more people who have pet evidence that got them started... and there are probably MORE!
Well, if you're going to do that.... shouldn't you open it up in multiple locations and direct traffic here from a site, blog or other source of "patient/client communication" so you can get more data? You could also put a link to the poll on hpathy forums but I'm not sure if they would have to join Minutus to do the poll.
Well... I don't know anything about that. But keep digging... the answer has to be somewhere in the Yahoo mess they call customer service!

I will add my stuff soon.

I still don't see how I can see the results.

This is admittedly a small sample but it mostly confirmed my belief that primarily personal experience is what convinces people of the effectiveness of homeopathy.

I wont say that scientific papers and studies are useless but they are not going to be the final convincing factor. They might interest someone to take the next step to personally experience homeopathy. But likely they just discount any evidence and keep their previous prejudice.

Doing studies, writing papers and debating (online or in person) is a waste of time, imo, unless one can follow up with giving a personal experience of the action of homeopathic remedies.

I once made an appt with a professional who was vociferously attacking homeopathy in a public forum. I discussed it with him in his office. He finally agreed to do a proving. The new symptoms that he experienced caused him to change his mind and stop the attacks.

Americans have become so much less cohesive and so much more alienated from each other as compared with even my childhood (1950's). I barely know my neighbours and I very rarely even talk to them. I wouldn't even dream about running over to their houses and excitedly telling them how my wife was cured of endometriosis with homeopathy. This could very well be one of the reasons why homeopathy isn't spreading as fast as we would all like.

People think that they are getting all kinds of wonderful information on the Internet. But there is no substitute for the personal touch. This Internet based knowledge helps to form strong opinions; everyone has a freaking opinion, but this is all ego. Without the personal touch, the spreading of homeopathy is greatly impeded.

Is all of this individualism run amok? I think perhaps so. But group cohesion and being comfortable with listening to someone else with a different opinion or different experience cannot be forced.

Amen to personal interaction and face to face “words.” The phrase word of mouth has lost some meaning.
