There is Nothing on this news group as predictable as the "I and some others here are well informed about this 200-year old "system" of medicine".
In 1811, a thing called "Avogadro's Number" was proposed. The existence of this number says all that has to be said about homeopathy. It cannot work. It never worked. It will never work. It is not a "placebo effect". The observed results of homeopathy are what is known as "regression to the mean"
Now for the truth, something foreign to Peter Bowditch.
