Homeopathic Database

The guy behind whatstheharm.net has a list of 437 folks whom he claims have been injured or even killed by homeopathy. Some of people this site profiles were almost certainly already at the end of their lives and probably turned to homeopathy as a last-ditch effort. We’ve all heard, of course, about Coretta Scott King’s death in Mexico. Still others died after battling incurable diseases like HIV or AIDS.

In some of these cases you have to stop and say, “Hey, wait a minute. If homeopathy obviously wasn’t working, why did those folks continue to use it?” But some of the cases presented are truly heartbreaking. Perhaps the worst are those of children whose parents insisted upon treating with homeopathy to the exclusion of anything even resembling “modern” medicine. Story after story relates cases of children who died of malnutrition because their parents insisted upon clinging to a system that obviously wasn’t working.

Whether you believe in homeopathy 100% or you’ve come to this site as a confirmed skeptic, the homeopathy section over at whatstheharm.net makes for some pretty powerful reading.
