word ' psuedoscience' should be replaced by 'alternative science of therapeutics' 45.127.45.147 (talk) 10:25, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
Not done: WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE and WP:FRINGE/PS establish that pseudosciene can and should be labelled as such. Actualcpscm (talk) 11:03, 28 May 2023 (UTC)- Facts are facts, alternative facts are just plain falsehoods. There is science, and anything that pretends to be science but isn't is not "alternative science". It's just plain pseudoscience, quackery, mumbo jumbo, and it can kill. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:16, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- How many people have died from homeopathy? Citations? Define "mumbo jumbo". Is that a scientific term? 99.198.56.127 (talk) 21:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- How many exactly is unknown, but this website collects cases: . Another harm is that believing in it seems to increase people's gullibility.
- It is consensus within science that homeopathy is very much pseudoscience.
- This page is not a forum. It is for improving the article. Since WP rules say that reliable sources beat your own opinion, you have nothing useful to contribute here. --Hob Gadling (talk) 06:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Please remove the word "pseudoscience", as it is derogatory and inaccurate, by any definition of the work 'science" I've found. Homeopathy is verified by many experiments, empirical evidence, double blind placebo trials, and in vitro experiments.
There are many experiments published in PubMed. Here is one example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24053127/
