Open season on alternative medicine in the UK: CAM degrees slammed as
?gobbledygook? by Nature journal. (must scroll down when you get on this page)

My comment sent to the Daily Mail and The Herald (only papers I found where
comments were welcomed)
'Scientists' do not seem to be able to grasp the simple fact that
homeopathic medicines are not made using dilution alone! Dilution alone
would do nothing whatsoever without SUCCUSSION. Succussion or vigorous
shaking is conducted between each numerical potency, i.e. between a 1c and
a 2c, a 2c and a 3c, a 3c and a 4c, etc. etc.
The medicine is succussed 100 times between each numerical potency in order
to bring out the formative intelligence of the substance which is imprinted
on the 60% water/40% alcohol medium. Alcohol acts as a preservative.
Homeopathy can never be tested through double blind randomised trials
because each prescription is individualised as every person is unique.
Therefore you might line up 10 people with arthritis and they may all need
a different homeopathic medicine for their arthritis.
There are more than 4000 homeopathic medicines including everything on the
periodic table. Homeopathy is both a science and an art. Louise Mclean

Well, I was in the mood to send in a comment, though they may not
publish it of course; it was this:

I'm surprised at your publishing this unsubstantiated diatribe. If a
famous archaeologist with no medical training wrote to criticize and
ridicule the entire medical profession, would that also be taken seriously?

Why is someone with zero knowledge of homeopathy permitted to do this?
His own simplest remedy example is incorrect - "arnica for cuts" and he
has not even learned the basic fact that homeopathy uses energy to heal!
It's like not knowing that electricity is more relevant than the wire
that carries it.

Remedies are made by adding energy, same as magnets: Rub the
unenergised metal hard and get a stronger magnet. Succuss the
homeopathic remedy a lot and you get a proportionately powerful remedy.
The dilution of the carrier is simply to eliminate side effects; A 6C
remedy is a very safe 1 part per 1000000000000!

I have yet to find what homeopathy can not heal or prevent!
Permanently. EG: Cats with FIP; ataxia & paralysis in cats; diabetic
ulcers; pyometra; kidney damage.
