    Hi Science is Dope,
    Thanks for making your reaction to our video. Really appreciate all your criticisms on our work. Here are a few comments from our end, which we think would be helpful for the viewers who may not have watched the original video -
    1. You called our conclusion in the video in support of the homeopathy, but that is not how we see it. Here is our actual conclusion from the video for your reference -
    ‘Homeopathy has its own benefits along with very serious criticism. Homeopaths need to work on the criticism just the way allopathy worked on it and went from blood letting to its modern form. The term allopathy itself was originated as contempt and stuck on, but they did not care and focused on improving the practice. That is what homeopaths also must do. We also quoted Dr Shantanu where he had mentioned that alternative medicines need scrutiny and criticism so that we can adopt their best practices for betterment of humanity. In your video, where you showed your conversation with Dr. Shantanu, he also agrees that homeopathy needs to be scrutinised. So, both of the statements seem in sync.
    Our last line of the video is verbatim here for your reference - The need of the hour is scrutiny and questioning, not the blind belief.
    However, its sad to see that without ever showing our conclusion in full, you chose to call it dangerous and ‘in support of homeopathy’
    2. You have drawn conclusions from the structure of the video and claimed that the information regarding existence of AYUSH ministry, size of homeopathy market are there to show that its very good. This is not the case. Here is how we have structured the video -
    a) Giving introduction about the homeopathy in its current adoption to showcase that while many of us moved on from this and probably never come across this, its still very popular. The intent of this section was to showcase that its not some obscure topic that we are talking about
    b) Right after this, we give a historical account of allopathy and how its shortcomings gave birth to homeopathy. We mentioned that things like germ theory and bloodpressure machines were not available back then. You have interpreted this as a criticism against allopathy since we did not include the same for homeopathy. Here our intention was to showcase the times we are talking about and reason behind allopathy being so painful back then. If anything, our point was to showcase that it was a very different times that gave birth to resentment against allopathy back then and now we have come a long way in modern medicines. We give a call back to this exact point to underscore our point to the very end of the video. So, we believe your interpretation of our statement here is selective and flawed. In this section, we also gave a very detailed account of how homeopathy started, its basic concepts. We even called these concepts very ‘shocking’ and ‘controversial’ in our video.
    c) Then we showcase that large adoption of homeopathy (established under point a) primarily comes from the reasons of royals and riches backing it, being popular among people with low scientific temperament and disillusionment with modern medicines among people who believe in ‘big pharma conspiracy’. We are still wondering how all of these points can be interpreted as being supportive of homeopathy.
    d) The very next section of our video goes in details of most of the popular criticism against the very basic principles of homeopathy. This entire section is spent steelmaning the strongest arguments against homeopathy. We have made to sure talk about all the criticism in a manner that everyone understands it correctly. You also seem to agree to these criticisms. You claim that we just move on from criticism to the next section. However, you selectively did not show in your video that towards the end of our video, we give call back to these criticism and pose a question to homeopaths, who now have to research and pose a counter to these criticisms. We also appreciate modern medicines in terms of the way they take criticism and improved upon their shortcomings. We are still wondering why you chose to not include all of this context in your video and chose to give conclusion that this was all done to support homeopathy
    e) After talking about criticism of homeopathy, we talk about why homeopathy works. Under this section we have presented the case of critiques of homeopathy by talking about how homeopathy medicines may not be the exact reason of their effects, in reality, the actual benefits may be due to ‘lifestyle changes’ and ‘placebo’ effects. This entire section also has a pov of critiques and does not sing praises for homeopathy medicines, as you seem to interpret and present in your reaction. This is also strange for us that you chose to ignore the fact that this section is also a critique’s pov.
    f) Between points a to e., we have covered nearly 85% of the video duration. At the end, in our conclusion we talk about our conclusion of the entire video. Here we talk about homeopathy working in some specific cases - upper respiratory tract infection, artherities etc. We also mentioned that in some of these cases a mixture of homeopathy and modern medicine is given. We also mentioned that thorough consultations and homeopathy having low side effects in kids are some of the good things about homeopathy, however, in the same breath we mention that homeopathy does have very serious criticisms for which homeopaths need to do a lot more research. Please refer to point 1 for verbatim conclusion of our video, which you have decided to not include in your video for some reason.
    I hope that this gives you our perspective on how we see our video and your response on the same.
    Just like homeopathy, our video also needs a lot more criticisms and we fully welcome them. We really liked some of your criticism/suggestions -
    Adding sources to description is a good idea, however, so many links in description section makes it very cluttered. We will try to find a better way to do that.
    Towards the end of our video, when we mention two studies for about 10 seconds, about homeopathy working, we should have added the context that these studies are done by homeopaths.
    Thanks a lot for reading our such a lengthy response. If possible, please pin this under your video for the reference of your audience.
    For anyone who is interested in watching the original video to verify these points, here is a link for your reference - ruclips.net/video/0pcylasFLp4/видео.html

      Well good that you are open for rational debate. May be the last point you mentioned about not explicitly mentioning the background about the studies can lead to the confusion that you supported homeopathy in the end and yeah also not providing the links. These things are not too small to ignore specially in these times when many channels/people are paid by govt to spread their agenda. Hope you have mentioned these facts in description along with sources of the studies now. Have a good rest of your day!✌️

      @@Unknown-hi2dr We have showed all the sources visually on screen, with the screenshots of all the relevant portions being referred in the video :) We refer to sooo many sources throughout the video that its like adding a barrage of links in description/comments which become difficult for audience to sort through. We are thinking maybe a google doc or google sheet can be added with all the sections of video along with links neatly categorised. What do you think about this idea? We will finalize any of these methods for future videos. Although from anecdotal feedback, people only prefer to watch the relevant parts of the sources on screen as screenshot (that we do) and hardly anyone goes to description and clicks on the links. Anyone curious enough goes to google and read further on the topic.

    I have a (nit-picky) criticism of your video, Pranav. Instead of calling it "Modern medicine", I would call it "Evidence-based medicine". To a culture that equates ancient as better, "Modern medicine" would just be counter-intuitive, whereas the monicker "Evidence-based" is self-explanatory in a holistic way.

    • @Viper60589
      @Viper60589 2 года назад +2

      @MORPHINE I asked because I saw An Open Letter video and this video as well. To be frank the conclusions that Pranav drew in his video are contrived and biased. Atleast that is what I felt. An Open Letter's video had proper structure and facts and didn't show anything which might lead to one saying that he is a 'homeopathy apologist' like Pranav has repeatedly claimed here. I asked you the question not because what I asked is redundant and already answered in this video but because I asked your opinion. I have already said I'm here only to learn. However it's seems you yourself don't value your opinion. Good day to you bye.

    • @Viper60589
      @Viper60589 2 года назад

      @MORPHINE Also to be clear, I am vehemently against Homeopathy or any of its derivations. The arguments that people using Homeo put forward in favour are mostly nonsense. I have been in full blown arguments with my own family members against Homeopathy. Now if a person like me hasn't found anything wrong in Open Letter's video and his conclusions and Pranav here comes up with new arguments against that video as well I will obviously be intrigued. And after seeing them, I found them to be quite unfounded and bit taking Open Letter's video out of context. My point is not even to oppose or support a channel, I see both regularly. My point is to question why or how one reached a different conclusion from me. Isn't that the whole point of rational discussions and debates?

Sorry but homeopathy has worked for me many times and Ayurvedic medicine has cured me filaria after many years of taking so called evidence based allopathy failed. I live in Dhanbad,Jharkhand and late Dr. Hembram in Ranchi had given me those natural ayurvedic medicine. If you have any doubt you can visit Ranchi and check whether there is Dr. Hembram or not. Sorry but this Science channel has nothing to do with science and you are trapped. Denying is not science but exploring and finding facts is science. Believe me we have a doctor who gives natural medicine for Jaundice here in Govindpur area of Dhanbad dist. who gives only two doses of medicine to fully cure jaundice. You have to accept results and admire them.

    Beautifully explained Why Homoeopathic Medicine don't work and its just a Placebo effect. I have some questions Regarding this .Let me list out some.
    1 If Homoepathy is Clearly treating a patient on Placebo effect and is Curing then Why don't every Doctor ( MBBS, BDS,BAMS) try the same as it is evident that it can treat the patient only from placebo effect also .
    2 Refering to my question no 1 . Have anyone conducted an experiment or test where one patient is tried by giving only placebo ( Not homeopathy Medicine) and see upto how extent the patient Heals and on the other hand If the patient does not get better from the placebo given then try the result again after taking Homeopathic Medicines ?.
    3 Can Medicine be Made only using the formula and Principles Modern medicine follows as you said in the video about Germ Theory etc or If the things works (Test Medicine) and treats a patient Completely but doesn't follow the principles and regulations like that of modern Medicine Will that be Called a medicine or that too a placebo ?

    Your arguments against him are not valid..you say that why he has not told other criticism of homeopathy..I mean missing 1-2 points cant be taken as being biased..his conclusion is also fair..he has tried to give a balanced opinion with tilt toward the fact that homeopathy is pseudoscience..it would have been better if you would have made a separate video on why homeopathy is pseudoscience..there was no need for making a video,criticizing a relatively unbiased video..

    It can be effective for renal calculi
    Background: Urinary stones measuring less than 5 spontaneously with urine but only 50% of stones measuring so. Stones measuring more than 7 mm generally need some like shock wave lithotripsy and/or surgery for removal. Aims: To examine if renal stones of all sizes can be successfully expelled through homeopathic remedies without surgical intervention. Materials and methods: Homeopathic remedies were selected symptoms” according to “similia principle” and by repertory of Kent. Patients were screened for symptoms renal calculi and advised USG test. Selected homeopathic change of symptoms periodically monitored. Results: All 9 patients (5 male and 4 female) detected with renal calculi measuring between 5 and 7 mm expelled their stones through urine after homeopathic treatment as confirmed by USG. Similarly, 4 out of 5 patients with stones measuring more than 7 mm also expelled their stones successfully with homeopathic remedies; one patient with the largest stone (16 mm) was greatly ameliorated with the stone size reduced (9 mm). Conclusion: Homeopathic treatment can remove renal stones without surgery and can provide an alternative option for non-invasive treatment.

    I just watched Open Letter's video and it is a very fair criticism of Homeopathy in all respects. I wonder how you ended up with the conclusion that he is a subtle 'homeopathy apologist'. Like literally 90% of his video is spent establishing that Homeopathy is BS and is baseless. A few points that he mentions about Homeopathy in positive light (not approving of Homeopathy as a whole) are extensive consultation by doctor before prescribing any medicine and lack of side effects. While we obviously know why homeopathy medicine lack side effects, the extensive holistic consultation is something that modern medicine can certainly do better in. If a person is repeatedly suffering frequent fractures, I'm quite sure the doctor treating him would just treat the factures and not worry about why the person is suffering from frequent fractures quite simply because as you pointed out there aren't that many medical professionals going around to treat all of us that way. While getting holistic treatment is not something patented or introduced by homeopathy, his video simply pointed out how modern medicine can learn from that method of treatment. How is this being a 'homeopathy apologist'??

    Your intentions seem genuine but the way you lay out your arguments can be somewhat weak as it seems to be in several of your videos. I like that you provide evidence-based info and sources to check for the same.
    But you often come across as a person you're trying to argue against. for e.g when you talked about post hoc fallacy, you assume that the outcome wasn't the result of the action taken before. It may be true, but since even you haven't proven it otherwise possibly both the cases remain open and it's not necessarily a post hoc.
    Most of your arguments are literature based which doesn't take into account personal experiences or a case study for the same. You can throw all the theoretical data but it becomes difficult for a person to be convinced if their own experience has been effective and positive.
    Like in this case with homeopathy, my personal experience has resulted in a visible change for myself. And I am someone who was a skeptic and non-believer in it but I cannot refute the evidence of my own experience even if I want to.
    Also, you avoid having a first-hand experience of something in a situation where it's possible for you to achieve it. In this video, you took a sleeping pill for 1 day and claimed it to be ineffective. That's not a genuine way to test something. You didn't even go through any consultation or any such thing or went through the actual process. If you had then you would have made a very compelling argument to change ppl's mind.

When I did not see the results I was expecting from modern medicine (I tried for 2 years or more), my family forced me to go visit a homeopathic doctor who had really good feedback from some of our known ones. I did not believe in it at all and after trying a lot of things I was convinced that I wouldn't be fully cured ever. But due to the pressure of my family, I got there and it worked for me. Started showing results in 1st month itself, i met many other people for whom it worked in my journey of 4 months.

    First change your mind set regarding the system, Homoeopathy is a system which has medicines for 90 percentage of the existing human disorders.It has got medicines for all the medical departments available.The remaining 10 percent is for accident cases and cancer.First and foremost let the allopaths only practice modern medicine,not the people of other systems like Ayurveda Unani and Siddha.
