Homeopathy medicines are the best examples of the placebo effect. The common argument I often hear is that it worked for me in the past. Homeopathy people say it works slowly. It works slowly because you are giving your body enough time to cure itself. It works for some and some it doesn't work. Lot of people miss this basic logic.

Some other people believe in homeopathy because it's a herbal medicine. These two are completely different. The fundamental logic of how Homeopathy medicine is created is flawed. From Wiki, "Homeopathic preparations are termed remedies and are made using homeopathic dilution. In this process, the selected substance is repeatedly diluted until the final product is chemically indistinguishable from the diluent." If you know basic chemistry you will know that this doesn't make sense.

That, at least according to Wikipedia [0], is only the case for C/D 12 and higher. It’s pretty clear to anyone, that weak (homeopathy says the higher the dilution, the stronger the effect) tinctures like D2 (so 1 part whatever in 100 parts water) will still be chemically distinct from just water.

My parents use that as explanation why they use it and not the high concentrations (= high dilutions = pure water). Which requires more mental gymnastics than my brain can handle.
