Tens of millions or more pray to each of several clearly distinct and purportedly unique dirties - millions must be wrong about something despite earnest belief.
Indeed I do. I have deep knowledge of the process in two markets. I also have a very good knowledge of the homeopathic industry.
There have been thousands of homeopathy clinical trials. None has ever proven any effectiveness beyond placebo. So, I asked not for pharmaceutical industry level studies, but for academic level - that’s a much lower bar.
Homeopathy will never met the requirements of pharmaceutical testing, which, for other readers, is why they are sold as as supplements. They pose minimal risk as their are no active ingredients. That does not mean that they do anything. It means they do nothing or nothing harmful.
The reason that you’re resorting to ad hominem attack and twisting my statements is that you can’t demonstrate any effectiveness. You have faith in the idea of homeopathy and no amount of proof will ever dissuade you. You didn’t need fact or proof to believe it works, so no fact or proof will change your mind.
While I really don’t care what you believe, but don’t position your opinions and insubstantial faith as fact. It isn’t based on any fact.
You might also like to consider holding your fellows to the same standard as your foes. Why do you let homeopathy practitioners operate in an extreme version of what you falsely criticise conventional medicine? Why not do some reading on the opposite perspective and learn why we challenge homeopathy? Don’t be stuck in an echo chamber.
I sincerely hope that you don’t need to rely solely on homeopathy to cure a serious illness. I don’t care if you use it along side other conventional treatments because it does nothing and it is impossible for it to do so.
You said you’d have to be foolish. I said that you probably shouldn’t think of yourself as foolish. It’s not ad hominem.
I am not going to address your personal comments.
Having said that..you said

There is not enough information. Can you elaborate about your ‘deep knowledge’ and what is your ‘good knowledge of the homeopathic industry’?
[..] Clinical trials that support FDA approvals of new drugs have a median cost of $19 million, according to a new study by a team including researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.[..]
[..] How much does a clinical trial cost?
The average cost of phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical trials across therapeutic areas is around $4, 13, and 20 million respectively. Pivotal (phase 3) studies for new drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States cost a median of $41,117 per patient.
The above-mentioned cost estimates across therapeutic areas were reported by Aylin Sertkaya et al., in a report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, containing Table 1 below.[..]
Provide proof of any claim made by homeopathy and not only will you win this argument, you’ll be a very rich person.
It’s foolish to argue with someone that isn’t going to act in good faith and has actively ignored reason and facts.
Unless you can show me peer reviewed, academically robust evidence that your claims are true, there is no point continuing this conversation.
