(I could not reply directly to the comment, probably due to bleeding karma) "How do you explain that the supposed effects of homeopathy evaporate like the morning dew once they're placed in the setting of a double-blind scientific experiment with proper (well, in this case more) placebo controls?" To me, one thing is sure for me. It works. Proved many many times for the last 10 years. Now I am not really interested into running such tests mostly because I am not motivated enough (I am a programmer) and also because for myself I don't need any further proof for my own use.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo As a simple experiment, could you put your most used homoeopathic remedy into a jar, and put pure water into another jar? They must be indistinguishable. Then, give them to someone you trust (and has no opinion either way on homoeopathy) to label A and B. They should record which of A and B is the real treatment, but not tell you. Then, when you get sick, roll a dice. If it's 1 or 2, use A. 3 or 4, use B. 5 or 6, use the homoeopathic remedy. Record how effective they are after each use. Ideally, generate a new pair of A and B after each treatment. Also, assume that if you get A or B, it won't work since it's been messed around with. After ten trials of each remedy, do the following. It'd be better if you didn't read this before doing it, but I want to commit to it, so I've ROT13'd it.
