Re: How Homeopathy Works
Jeff, a great starting point for becoming educated is learning to distinguish confirmed, falsifiable facts from mere conjectures. When we overlook the difference, we easily slip into factually baseless ideology.
The heading on the site to which you've provided the URL gives an enormous clue as to which the author is offering, as he doesn't even claim to be offering facts, but claims to be offering a working hypothesis, a conjectural exploration of possibilities.
That's a great thing to do, I grant you. But it can't enjoy the status of factuality, let alone of "scientific knowledge"; and claiming it to enjoy that status does nothing to advance homoeopathy's credibility; quite the opposite, in fact. The paper by Roy et al. to which John Benneth has referred offers, in contrast, a clear (if highbrow) summary of irrefutable facts established with painstaking care by cautious scientists, and (though it ventures into likelihoods) constitutes a far stronger reason to take homoeopathy seriously than any number of pure conjectures.
Cheers --
