yes, i agree. This is experienced by myself and so many others who are using homoeopathy for their treatment. May be there are some deficiencies found at the time of clinical trial or pharmacological studies, but the truth is "homoeopathy works"
Actually when you see any system of medicine, all have one or the other limitation but it dosn't mean that that you neglect it's benefits. those who says that homoeopathy is placebo they should also see the limitation of the scientific advancements.....may be till now no instrument or equipment has been discovered which can measure the therapeutic effects.
Any ways this is very long discussion, your Answer is Yes, Homoeopathy gives wonderful results, if the case is within the homoeopathic scope.
What results please?
Homeopathy still has no proof aside from testimonials and anecdotes, so no, I do not agree that homeopathy has "wounderful" results.
According to wikipedia:
Claims of homeopathy's efficacy beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence.[7][8][9][10][11][12] While some studies have positive results, systematic reviews of all the published trials fail to conclusively demonstrate efficacy.[13][14][15][16][17]
Yes, homeopathy is really wonderful in curing or maintaining human as well as other forms of life.

the active ingredients are diluted to very few parts per million, impossible amounts to have any sort of therapeutic value
Only if you are a wishful thinker. Have you ever actually looked critically at homeopathy?
A principle of homeopathy is 'like cures like' - so if you have insomnia, homeopaths will give you a remedy made from Coffea, which is made from the coffee bean. If you think that sounds stupid, they actually dilute this coffea, and they think the more you dilute something, the stronger it gets!
A typical dilution of coffea may be "6C". 6C means a dilution ratio of 10 to the power of 12. The percentage of active ingredient in the final solution is 0.0000000001%. Or the equivalent of one metric drop of water in 20 Olympic swimming pools.
If you think this is nuts, they have remedies with dilutions up to 1500C, and even higher. Consider that a typical 200C dilution, that is; 10 to the power of 400, would require giving two billion doses per second to six billion people for 4 billion years to deliver a single molecule of the original material to any patient. http://wapedia.mobi/en/Homeopathic_dilut…
And consider there are only about 10 to the power of 80 atoms in the entire observable universe; a dilution of one atom in the observable universe would equal only about 40C.
When you are buying homeopathic 'medicine' you are buying water or sugar pills only. Not one molecule of the original active ingredient remains. To counter this, homeopaths will claim the water has a 'memory'. Of course this is rubbish and is supported by no science. Some try to justify this by using pseudoscientific versions of quantum or other theories - a classic scam tactic.
Furthermore - the vast majority of research literature on homeopathy shows clearly that it is no better than placebo. And the better the quality of clinical trial, the worse the result.
So homeopathy has zero plausibility and and no good evidence of efficacy. Knowing this, only cognitive dissonance can excuse you from believing in it - or wishful thinking.
Late last January, skeptics in several countries protested against homeopathy being sold in pharmacies, by publicly taking mass overdoses of homeopathic medicines. No one experienced any ill effects, except sugar rush.
Homeopathy - its preposterous nonsense and there's nothing in it.

"are u agree?" Really?
In answer to the question, homeopathy has been proven to be nothing more than the placebo effect in action.
Yes if all you want is a placebo and a nice warm feeling. No if you think it's doing anything by way of pharmacology of anything else that is useful.
answer: Salerio time: 2011-05-22 07:40:19A Hungarian physician known as Dr. Semmelweis, was fired and ostracised from the medical community in the mid 1800's for proposing the idea that disease was caused by germs. After fighting to publicise the truth about micro-organisms for fifteen years, Semmelweis was declared insane by Doctors and committed to an insane asylum. The Doctors continued to practice medicine without hygiene with continued cross-infection of patients.
Today we are all greatfull for the knowledge that Dr Semmelweis unveiled.
We are also grateful for the wonderful results achieved by both allopathic and homeopathic medicine.
Uh no....it's never been demonstrated to work in high quality trials beyond the placebo.
