Clark Bertram Speaks Against Homeopathy

Clark Bertram (a pediatrician and a skeptic ) responds to a reader

I resent the comparison of my calling homeopathy crap to hate speech. Do you honestly believe that my questioning your particular brand of quackery is equivalent to a racial slur or homophobic rhetoric? Are you placing me in the same category as the KKK or Neo Nazis? I don't hate homeopathy although it, along with similar bogus entities such as chiropractic and TCM, frustrates me. I don't hate the people who purvey this silliness but if I have evidence that they do so with intent to commit health fraud and not because they honestly buy into it they do anger me. I hope you can see that I voice my strong opinions because I care about my fellow man not because I am full of hate or just trying to attack my competitors.

I left a comment and thought I should post links to my anti-homeopathic writings (below the fold).

Hi--Glad I found your blog. I used to read Unintelligent Design (Clark Bertram). However he's limited his blog to invited readers. Any idea how I can contact the author?

Thanks--and great blog!

[Ricky Mat -If Lenz's law is true Homeopathy is fraud]

Here is a big joke
Homeopaths states that aggravation happens because the symptom was hidden in the body and when the homeo medicine was taken by the patient the symptom came out.
Here is the joke
When Homeopath researcher who was doing the proving for a homeo medicine used for madness he took the medicine and found lot of madness came out was hidden and he took more
Dose of the medicine and found that more madness came out.
His fellow researchers also tried the medicine the took the medicine and found
That lot of madness came out and to become more sure they took more and more
Dose and found more and more madness came out
And then they decided now it is the time to declare this medicine can be used for madness.
Are they mad or cheater?

Another joke
One very renowned Homeopath claimed that aggravation is sign of healing.
He stated that the body throws the symptom?
Where does it through inside the body or outside the body?
If it troughs out side the body so the body should not feel it is gone.
So it troughs inside the body.
From where does it take the symptom? from inside the body
So it takes the symptoms from inside the body and troughs inside the body
See how fraud this homeopaths are. How fraud their claims are
If aggravation is sign of healing then what is the sign of healing?

Homeopathy is false and it is a fraud and crime
I am giving one proof
1)Lenz's law
Lenz's law states that any induced electromotive force will be in the direction such that the flux it creates will oppose the change in the flux that produced it.
It says that the system behaves in such a way that the effect is minimized but never says that
The reaction to the action exceeds the action itself therefore
The claim by the homeopaths that opposite reaction of the Mechanical force(which is cause by some form of induction according to them)
Creates vital force and and Mechanical force go way But Vital force(curing force) does not go so the body heals

If homeopathy has to work it has to work on the basis of induction
which would never bring good effect which the Homeopaths(Actually the most sophisticated cheaters in the world)

Homeopathy is totally baseless and false
If Lenz's law and Physics is true Homeopathy is false
