"Homeopathy Does Not Qualify As Science" - citizen.co.za

here, a criticism of 'homeopathy for rabies':

001. at citizen.co.za, Nica Schreuder  writes in "Homeopathic Medication Cannot Cure Rabies" (2018-09-07)[2018 archived]:


"in February, The Guardian reported that a four-year-old boy was recommended a homeopathic pill by a naturopath, Anke Zimmerman, for his behavioral problems. This pill was allegedly made using saliva from a rabid dog [...and now] a dangerous tweet emerged on Thursday evening from a supporter of homeopathic medication [...] at Twitter user Deepak Singh [...] proclaimed on Thursday that homeopathic medication can cure rabies. Yes, rabies, an incurable disease that can be put on hold by getting a vaccine. A disease that causes inflammation of the brain, and affects both humans and animals. And a disease that ultimately results in an inevitable death within hours of being bitten if you do not seek medical attention [...] Deepak goes on to guarantee those interested in using homeopathy that this is not a hoax and that using homeopathic medication instead of getting yourself to a hospital is definitely the way to go [...but] is it a science? Homeopathy does not qualify as a science [...]";
