Hell I'll applaud the sheer balls of going all out in a public forum over something that is actually really important, man alone against the world. Bravo!

But why would it take 5 years to learn how to shake a mixture? Maybe they have slow learners at UJ. I am no academic but whenever UJ came up in conversation it was, oh that university. Maybe that is just small town mentality. A lot of people out here see Joburg as "Sodom and Gamorra".

Without seeing the actual textbooks, one can only guess. Looking at the curriculum there appears to be a number of subjects thrown into the mix that is probably scientifically legitimate. I don't expect any difference between, say, the anatomy or basic chemistry/physics that medical students and homeopaths must learn, so they can easily share a classroom.
And then of course a lot of time can be spent on memorising the purported theory behind homeopathy, in the same way you could spend several years learning the subtleties of theology or astrology.
As Mefiante pointed out, Joe public could well be more impressed by the quantity rather than the quality of a practitioner's studies. Maybe that is why some homeopaths so eagerly mention the number of years that they've spent obtaining their papers.

There’s also this enlightening post from a few years ago.

Let's see if this gets them going
Ernst Marais Ek weet nie of ek te vinnig praat nie, maar ek dink die "Homopaat skeptici" wen hierdie debat. Kom ons recap: Karin Pelser of Meraai Dewet het nie, of kan nie, behoorlike bewyse vir hul standpunt bring nie. Ek het gewys, en hier is die defeniesie weer, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/homeopathy wat Homopatie behels. Ek het ook gewys dat daardie metode onmoontlik nie kan werk nie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy Karin Pelser het dit beklemtoon dat sy by twee "rade" geregistreerd is. Sy noem nie die rade nie, maar ek neem aan dat dit medise rade is. Ek kan maar net daarop wys dat nie alle lande Homopatie toelaat nie. SA se standaarde is nie die hoogste in die wêreld nie. Meraai Dewet het ook gevra " dink jy ons glo aan fairies, voorvadergeeste?" Ek weet nie, maar as jy glo dat 'n Homopatiese mengsel jou gesond kan maak, dan glo jy dalk in ander nonsens ook. Michel Grace sê ek "is so dom soos grond". Nog nooit die vergelyking gehoor nie, so ek weet nie wat dit beteken nie. Sy sê ook ons voorvaders het "herbal" gebruik. Reg so, maar nie in belaglik verdunde mengsels nie. Nico Swart by https://www.facebook.com/nico.swart.186?fref=ufi en 'n paar andere, hierdie is dalk 'n goeie tyd om hieroor na te dink: Galeleo Galilei en Copernicus is ook dwase in hul tyd genoem (en voordat die kommentaar begin, ek stel myself geensins gelyk aan hierdie reuse nie.) Dit was mense wat vrae gevra het, en nie maar alles net aanvaar het nie. Ten laaste, ek dink Louwrens Du Plessis se verhaal wys hoe ding verkeerd kan loop. Medise wetenskap groei, nuwe kennis en metodes word gebruik. Homopatie is vasgevang in 'n 200 jaar oue idee van iemand wat wiskundig gestremd was.

ek sou byvoeg dat die gebruik van "herbal" nie 'n bewys van effektiwiteit is nie en in elk geval die lewensverwagting van ons voorvaders was maar bitter kort vergeleke met vandag s'n. So-ook was die morbiditeits vlak van babas baie hoog want medies wetenskap was maar power.

As you can see, I've got way too much time on my hands.
Ernst Marais Ek het hiedie link ongelukkig nou eers gekry. Ek dink dit klaar die hele Dr. ding op. Volg dit asseblief. http://forum.skeptic.za.org/.../homeopath.../msg18563/...

I had to cover myself a bit on that last one, would have liked to put it stronger.

Goeie punt. Sal dit gebruik as die persoon iets te sê het.

That was a very good write up. I wonder what happened to AntiOxidant after such a sterling opening letter.

Inderdaad. Sover ek weet, bestaan homeopatie al 'n goeie twee eeue, en herbale medisyne sedert prehistoriese tye. So waarom is dit dan dat dit eers sedert die ontwikkeling van moderne medisyne wat westerline se lewensverwagting so die hoogte ingeskiet het?

So-ook was die morbiditeits vlak van babas (...)
Noem dit liefs die stertesyfer. Dit klink meer opgewek.

En hoe weet ons dit? Mediese navorsing het ons gehelp om te besef dat elke aand 2 skaaptjops eet dalk nie die beste idee is nie. Wat jy jou baba moet voer, dat jy gereëld tande moet borsel, kook water om dit veiliger te maak, pasteuriseer melk, inentings, was jou hande, moenie speelgoed van lood maak nie (China sukkel nog so bietjie, bygesê), moenie waterpype van lood maak nie, oefen gereëld, die lys gaan aan en aan.
EDIT: Ek dink die mediese wetenskap het ons lewens handomkeer verander, omtrent elke aspek van ons lewens is nou anders. Of dit nou aktief (gedrags verandering) of passief (veiliger voedsel en ander produkte) is.
