Hi Peter,
Are you sure those test persons didn't received an individualised remedy?
The article only mentions about this aspect:
So what I would guess happened, at least that's how I would have conducted
such an experiment,
is that *every* patients was checked individually about what remedy would
fit to this individual and prescribe it to the person.
But then, an other person decided at random which of this 50 patients would
receive *his* remedy and which would receive a placebo.
In conducting so, you combine the need for individualisation (in Homeopathy)
with the scientific paradigm, without violating neither of them.
Of course I'm not sure that this is how it went, but this is how it could be
done and maybe was done???
