Did Professor Edzard Ernst participate in a homeopathic proving?

By stating "it does not work for me", did Professor Ernst tell his readers he particpated in a homeopathic proving? See screen shot Wed 02 September 2020 at 14:05). But, he refused to elaborate. Link to Ernst's blog.

I can't stop laughing. When Ernst is challenged to support his claim with evidence, the clowns appear ......

Novella SBM

The Science based medicine effort & blog by Yale School of Medicine neurologist (and anti homeopathy activist) Steven Novella celebrated its 10 year online anniversary recently. Rather than rejoice about the 10 year effort to stop the use and growing interest in homeopathy, Novella is unable to celebrate and proceeds to tell his devotees why not.

1.   The organization has no major sponsors. "After several tries, no ad services were compatible with our editorial policy." Support now needs to come from donations, so there is now a "support" button.

Translation: No reputable company wants to be associated with radical anti homeopathy activists. Without enough funds, SBM can't "further" their "mission."

2.   The "forces" against SBM are "highly profitable". The supplement industry has "billions" of dollar. Information about homeopathy and integrative medicine are "infiltrating" medical schools. State & local governmental legislators are being lobbied to promote "quack-friendly" laws! ineicalare follarfollarsuIt is an unfortunate reality that the forces we are up against are extremely well-funded. Quackery, fraud, and snake-oil are highly profitable. The billions of dollars generated by the supplement industry, homeopathy, and countless worthless health services and products have been funding several decades’ worth of concerted efforts to infiltrate pseudoscience into medical schools. These funds have been used to lobby state and federal governments for quack-friendly laws. They have been used to market a narrative of medical pseudoscience to the public, fostering a distrust of genuine expertise, and promoting conspiracy theories and blatant misinformation. They have literally millions of times more funding than we do. There is no profit in defending science and critical thinking, in medicine or elsewhere. All of the SBM editors and contributors are volunteers. We actually sacrifice time we could be expending more profitably elsewhere to promote SBM. But we have learned how to accomplish a lot with a little.

UK Sepsis Lead Dr. Paul Morgan Insults Homeopaths on Twitter

In case you've been curious about how Dr. Paul Morgan, appointed Sepsis lead on the Cardiff & Vale University Health Board spends his free time on Twitter, view his tweets (under his image) in one hour on 17 Jan, 2018. If you check his timeline, this activity (saving the world from homeopathic treatment one homeopath at a time) is a daily self-appointed task.

SO WHAT if homeopathy is not 'science based'

One of homeopathy skeptic Edzard Ernst's blog posts rhetorically asks "Time for the legal profession to have a serious look at homeopathy?"   Tuesday 15 January 2013

I think the opposing comment to Ernst's question by "Eco Witch" on 5/14/2015 deserves a wider audience.

“Science” says that homeopathic concentrations can not have an effect. So do the repeated rants of the author of this article. Well dear lawyers of the world and bigots united, please explain why even the US EPA recommended ‘safe’ concentration of arsenic in drinking water (which is 0.01 ppm)has an adverse impact on the blood lipids in sensitive mice and is resulting in proposals to reduce the concentration of arsenic in drinking water even lower than that already homeopathic dilution? According to the blinkered thinking about homeopathy, this level of arsenic in water shouldn’t be a problem - yet it is.

The science based approach has resulted the majority of people blindly believing that prescribed drugs will work for them and are safe. In fact over 90% of drugs work on only 30-50% of people taking them, ie they don’t work on up to 70% of people prescribed them but everyone risks side effects. (source: Glaxo’s Dr Allen Roses in 2003). It’s resulted in governments around the world wasting £Billions on Tamiflu. Indeed, even people NOT taking these damned drugs are adversely affected by them as they contaminate the drinking water in the world following excretion. Since our science based approach to life became the dogma of this society, our species has become the sickest on the planet within the life time of one generation. Why don’t you lawyers focus on these areas which causes greatest harm to the majority of people rather than focusing on the areas which adversely impact only a very few people?

Only those stupid enough to believe that humans have discovered all there is to know about the world and all the science there is to discover would always demand a ‘science based’ approach to all medicine. Science is only as good as the parameters set for it and the knowledge of the scientists concerned as well as the funding driving it.”
