Homeopathy for the most part is horseshit...packaged and sold to the
gullible. Its on par with Scientology IMHO and just as dangerous.

My knee jerk reaction was to the idea that doctors should give people
something, *anything*, just because they ask for it. Hence my placebo
comment. I'm sure there are some doctors who wouldn't have any problem
prescribing expensive antibiotics for viral infections, too, even though
they aren't at all effective in treating viruses.

That's absurd.

It does work.

Not for every condition, but it is somewhat analogous to regular allergy
desensitizing treatment.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-u..._b_320998.html

Although homeopaths have a history of being at the forefront of medical
research and discovery, it is particularly appropriate and even
predictable that they would lead the way in the field of allergy.
Because the primary principle of modern allergy treatment derives from
the homeopathic principle of "treating like with like," the spirit of
homeopathy has lived on, despite the tendency of orthodox physicians to
ignore it.

Research in Leading Medical Journals

Respiratory allergies represent the condition for which there is a
relatively strong research base for efficacious treatment with
homeopathic medicines. A group of researchers at the University of
Glasgow published four studies, three of which were published in the BMJ
(British Medical Journal) and the Lancet, two highly respected medical
journals. Each study was randomized, double-blind, and
placebo-controlled. Each trial used an oral 30C homeopathic preparation.
The first two trials involved patients with hay fever, [4] [5] where
patients were either give a placebo or homeopathic doses of 12 common
flowers to which people are allergic.

The third trial involved patients with asthma, where patients underwent
conventional allergy testing to determine to what substance they were
most allergic. [6] Half of the patients were given a placebo and half
were given a homeopathic dose of the substance to which they were most
allergic (the most common allergen was "house dust mite" and thus, these
patients were given House Dust Mite 30C).

The fourth study was the treatment of patients suffering with perennial
allergic rhinitis (a broad technical term for respiratory allergies that
are not seasonal). [7] Like the previous study, half of the patients
were given a placebo, while the other half was given a homeopathic dose
of whatever substance the person was most allergic. The patients given
the homeopathic medicine experienced significant improvement in nasal
inspiratory flow comparable with the improvement typically experienced
by patients given steroidal drugs...without side effects!

When evaluating all four trials together (there were 253 patients in all
of their clinical trials), there was a 28 percentimprovement in
homeopathic subjects versus a 3 percent improvement in placebo subjects.

Following in the footsteps of the above research, a 4-week, double-blind
clinical trial comparing homeopathic preparations with placebo was
conducted in the Phoenix metropolitan area during the regional allergy
season from February to May. [8] The treatment group was given a
homeopathic preparation (6X) of common allergens in the Southwest region
of the U.S. Participants included 40 men and women, 26-63 years of age,
diagnosed with moderate to severe seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms.

In addition to the above research, a group of German researchers
conducted annual controlled clinical trials using a single homeopathic
medicine (Galphima glauca) on over 1,000 hay fever subjects. The last
six clinical trials were randomized, double-blind, and
placebo-controlled. These studies consistently showed benefits from this
homeopathic treatment as compared with those patients given a placebo. [9]

It should be acknowledged that not all research has confirmed success in
the treatment of respiratory allergies using homeopathic medicines. For
instance, one study tested homeopathic doses of birch trees to treat
people with birch tree allergies, but such treatment was not any more
effective than a placebo. [10]

I looked up how to make it. I would need a whole chicken and vegetables. I
would need to pull the bones out of the chicken and the skin off. Two
things I won't do. Also says to save that chicken for another use. Nobody
here would eat it, so waste of a chicken. Does not sound simple or easy.
Just kind of disgusting and expensive. So... I will stick with the boxed
broth that I like. I have also read descriptions of the broth that comes
about when made at home. Does not sound appealing to me at all.

No, you would need chicken pieces and vegetables.

Yeah, we know you're freaked out by real food.

Yet you buy canned chicken in broth, which is essentially what you'd get
if you cooked your own.

Not at all. The canned chicken is very much a different texture. It's more
like tuna. Due to my gastroparesis, I have difficulty digesting most meats.
Canned chicken is one that I can do provided I don't try to eat too much at
one time. As I have said before, there is a reason I eat this stuff. I
don't expect anyone else to but when I make chicken salad with apples and
pecans with it, someone who is not me is wolfing it down.

Why are you lying? I didn't buy her a car. She paid for it herself! I had
a freezer and it died. It died because it was not supposed to have been
used here I put it. The garage. I have since found some others that would
work out there but I no longer have the space out there. Our garage is
tiny. Not big enough for a car. And I don't need the freezer now. I
bought it because someone was eating an insane amount of ice cream and other
frozen treats. I got sick of going to the store daily or more often to buy
them. They are no longer eating these things in those proportions.

It is taking all of my strength not to just let into her and start calling
her some bad names. She is sorely tempting me.

She's an old, bitter woman with out any friends, family or

Your restraint is admirable and inspiring.

You don't have to prove who's the better person, that poll has already
closed.

This is a succinct analysis.

The lack of friends can't possibly be related to her constant harping on
the Dataw menus...and perhaps other things there?

Hmmm...

Oh yeah.

The chronology of age rarely correlates well with those who've refused
to outgrow their bad habits.

Who can guess why bove hated her vegetable broth when she took the
recipe/advice she read here in RFC?!?!? She didn't follow the recipe
and made her own changes/switches contrary to the recipe!

This is bove's long-standing standard MO, then she comes howling back to
RFC to complain the recipe (any, for that matter) did not work for her
--- heh, bove never seems to follow any recipe as written and then
wonders why the outcome didn't have the desired results! Well, DUH, and
DOH <------- as "Homer Simpson" is wont to say!

Big time BS meter going Ding-a-ling-a-ding-dang-dong!!!! Bove has
stated all too often she won't buy and never handles raw chicken, no
matter what --- not even with 'gloves' !!!

What's more expensive is to buy chicken broth in a can or box! But of
course, that simple math (economics) seems to be beyond bove's low-level
comprehension meter.

Bove, it's poor taste for you to say someone is more 'decrepit' than
you! After all, you "suffer" from so many health issues! Of course it
does not matter to you that many folks here in RFC believe your
multitude of symptoms are psychosomatic.

An interesting point, bove --- why do you constantly post here in RFC
yet rarely post anything in the relevant and important health newsgroups
when the topic regards diabetes ?? Supposedly you have diabetes, and so
many other health issues. Could this be because the folks on those
particular (diabetes) newsgroups know your "game" ??!!! This I do not
doubt.

Sad thing is, when prices go up, they rarely come back down, most of the
time :/ Depends on too many variables, however, and I am not an
economist, that's for sure

Just curious, Julie. What do you mainly keep in your freezer? You
always say you have no room in your freezer for anything. It's
obviously full of something.

I just have a small fridge with top freezer. I keep lots of variety in
there and always have space for any leftovers or whatever.

Yeah, I'm decrepit. Funny, I'm not the one living on SSDI payments.

I heard on the news that they are considering importing eggs from
Europe. That will be a good thing because they vaccinate their
chickens against salmonella, which means we can make real Caesar salad
dressing again.

It's not worth the trouble of saving scraps when I can buy whole
six-seven pound roasting chickens at typically 89¢/lb, sometimes
priced 79¢/lb. I don't much care for stock made from roasted pickings
and leavings, has very little chicken flavor, makes colored water that
needs a lot more other ingredients for flavoring so costs even more
than simply usinging whole chickens that need only a modicum of
flavorings... I end up with over a gallon of rich golden stock and I
enjoy poached chicken, excellent cold too, actually I much prefer cold
poached chicken from making stock. I still don't waste the scraps
from roasted chicken, the critters devour it all, and my outside cats
enjoy the drippings on their dried food. Besides, after I pick a
roast chicken carcass it's too clean to use for anything but tossing
to the possums. In the US food is relatively inexpensive, I don't
need to hoard scraps to dine on POW gruel.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.
