I have many patients those who had no faith in

Homeopathy.

 

Unfortunately, Przemyslaw is partially incorrect. A placebo treatment will work, even if the patient knows the treatment is a placebo. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/dec/22/placebo-effect-patients-sham-drug

 

What you need to do to prove the efficacy of homeopathy is to conduct a double blind, controlled study. Fortunately, this has already been done, several times.

etc.

 

Homeopathic treatments have been shown, conclusively to be no more effective than a placebo. That is to say, they don't work.

Homeopathy success is also an effect of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. The body tends to heal itself of a wide variety of ailments, and drinking water doesn't impede that.

Moderator Note

No statistically significant evidence that homeopathy is better than placebo has ever been reported. The OP was given ample opportunity to provide some evidence. None was provided.
