“There is little to no scientific evidence that Oscillococcinum has any effect beyond placebo.
None of its active ingredient is present in a dose of the final product. Homeopaths claim the diluted molecules leave an “imprint” in the remedy, but there is no known mechanism for how this could occur. Homeopathy as a whole is considered to be pseudoscience. Since it is used for the relief of symptoms of flu, a disease that goes away on its own in a variable number of days, the best it could do is shorten the duration of those symptoms. If one takes any medication and one’s flu goes away, then it is easy to attribute this to the medication; however, the infection would have resolved anyway. Someone who gets over a mild strain of flu will attribute the mildness to the efficacy of the homeopathic preparation and not to the fact that it was a mild strain, and will recommend it to other people, spreading its popularity. Also, the most likely explanation for its effectiveness with flu symptoms is that patients are misdiagnosing the symptoms of several rhino-virus diseases or of allergies to several hundred substances, and attributing them to a flu infection that they don’t have.” —Oscillococcinum - Wikipedia

Articolul ca articolul, interesant dar spune lucruri de bun-simt care nu ar trebui sa uimeasca pe nimeni. Comentariile insa…
Costel zice:
Prietene , daca tu crezi ca are cineva chef sa piarda 8 ore intr-o zi sa isi caute un loc de munca si sa stea sa invete ca in facultate te inseli ! am invatat destul in timpul scolii , liceului si facultatii ( numai zic de master si alte cursuri ) ca sa mai am chef sa stau zilnic sa invat. Angajatorii ar trebuii sa isi bage mintile in cap si sa ofere locuri de munca decente si cu salarii bune nu sa castige ei milioane de euro pe an ! As face o regula generala MINIM 20 % din profitul companiei impartit la angajati. In alta ordine de idei GET A LIFE ! nu poti avea o viata persoana daca stai 8 ore pe zi la calculator cautand in zadar un obosit de job care sa iti aduca un salariu mizer .

“The great irony is that leftists frequently argue that capitalism equals “consumerism.” They think defenders of free markets believe that more consumption promotes economic growth; thus we are charged with providing the ideological cover that justifies the consumerism they see as deadening lives and wasting resources. What the leftist critics miss is that economists never saw consumption as the driving force of economic growth and prosperity until the Keynesian criticisms of free markets became ascendant.”

That’s not to say that ‘climate change isn’t happening’, nor to suggest that it won’t be a problem. However, the alarmist narrative which created the basis for international climate policy has exhausted itself. By over-stating things in the past, it created the conditions for its later embarrassment. In order to sustain the political momentum, science has had to do PR. And the effects are all too plain.
