The Controversy of Homeopathic Science

Throughout the last decade, the worldwide phenomenon of using homeopathy to cure health issues such as allergies, the common cold, and headaches has remain one of the most debated topics in the scientific community. Homeopathy is a system of medicine which involves treating the individual with highly diluted substances with the aim of triggering the body's natural system of healing (The Society of Homeopaths). This concept of using homeopathic medicine is driven by the principle of "like cures like" or in other words, the belief that by taking extremely small and diluted doses of a substance that triggers patient's health issues, the symptoms of the problem can be cured. For example, homeopathist believed that symptoms of hey fever can be relieve through the dilution of onion vegetables, which under normal circumstances would produce streaming tears and itchiness of the eyes. Homeopathy remedies are normally prescribed to patients in the form of pills or tablets. In the process of "purifying" these pills, poisonous substances will have been diluted in water thousands and millions of times, over and over again until the substance can no longer be identified in the pill. This is where the controversy of this phenomenon arises. Homeopathist or individuals that believe in the concept of "like cures like" will argue that water has ability to "memorize" and "remember"  the substance that has been diluted in it and therefore, when made into the form of pills, the poisonous ingredient are still present and will trigger the body's immune system along with the natural process of healing. On the other hand, other scientists would disagree with this ideology and reason that no such thing is scientifically possible. 
In my opinion, homeopathy is a system of medical practice that has the ability to cure individuals by triggering the patient's natural process of healing and recovery. When individuals get vaccinated, a small dosage of the disease causing organism is planted into the patient's body in order to trigger the immune system. Similarly, when patients consume homeopathic pills or tablets, they are actually ingesting poisonous substances that have been diluted in water over hundreds and thousands of times. If scientist really have proven that water has the ability to "remember" substances that have been diluted in it, then I strongly believe that these properties of homeopathic medicine allows it to cure patients whom are suffering from unhealthy symptoms. 
I myself have been given a chance to personally experience homeopathic medical treatments. When I was suffering from a mild headache, I was given small sugar pills that contain extremely diluted poisonous substances. Although I was hesitant that this treatment would help make me feel better, after awhile my skeptical assumptions were proven wrong. My headache started to lessen and I felt much better after taking the homeopathy. But, on the other hand my lifted spirits could also be the result of consuming a good meal.
If given the chance to try homeopathy, I believe everyone should take up that opportunity and give it a chance. Since homeopathy contains no side-effects like most modern medicines and solves the root of the problem, there is no harm in trying out this form of treatment. Even though this form of treatment may possibly cure unhealthy symptoms, I believe that a person's ability to remain healthy is also affected by their mental thoughts. When felling ill or unhealthy, a person can become so much better solely due to their positive mental processes.
