If someone has cancer, homeopathy can do shit about that. if I get appendicitis, I will die if I don't take it out by surgery. If I have tooth ache, I will go to the dentist. If I am depressed or similar, I will seek out professional help from a licensed psychologist.

What can homeopathy do if I have a bad tooth? NOTHING! It will not cure my symptoms or the cause of it. I will need a dentist.

What can homeopathy do for my depression? NOTHING! I will need a licensed psychologist, who will help me get to the whys and hows of my depression, and help me deal with it.

What can homeopathy do for my appendicitis? NOTHING! If I don't get surgery, it will become peritonitis and I will die from it. I will need a surgeon to remove my appendix.

Tell me one real disease that homeopathy can cure. Can it cure AIDS? Cancer? Ebola? The common cold? Homeopathy is crap, it does not cure people, it just gives them a placebo, a false hope. Placebos can be done by real medicine as well, and real medicine can find the actual cause and cure the disease.
