Dear Soroush,
My sincere apologies for replying to your 'company' and not
to you personally.
I'm sure Christine or Sheri would know how to put something
'up' to counteract Randi's garbage. I'm afraid I'm not the
one to ask - being computer illiterate. :-/
Best wishes, Barbara

it?

Hi Finrod,
Why don't you post this onto Google, or any search engine
site. I'm
not
technologically-minded, but if Randi can get his
'quackbusting' org. so
close to the top of the list if you type in "homeopathy" on
Google,
then
surely someone on this list can give the other side of the
story by
getting
this as high or preferably higher than number six on the
list of hits.
ABCHomeopathy have managed it. How about it Finrod?
Anyone ?
Best wishes, Barbara

Dear Colleagues
There is none so blind as those that do not want to see and
none so
deaf as
those who do not want to hear.
I think the only way to challenge such people is through a
personal
experience.
One cannot say to them let us treat you, because one is not
sure of
their
honesty.
However, one can challenge them to take part in a proving -
this is
what I
did to the columnist of The Guardian and in the end he
backed-off
without
taking part in the reproving and has not said anything
adverse about
homoeopathy since.
So if you think you can get him interested in taking part
in a
reproving of
some painful remedy, then I would look forward to it.
As far as the Horizon prog is concerned, I am sure that
some one
swapped the
samples (as probably Randi did to discredit Jacques
Beneviste in the
first
Nature investigation). What the programme did show was that
half of the
potentised WATER samples showed an UNEXPECTED property
against the test
materials (basophiles?) as did HALF of the test material.
No one raised this issue despite the fact that I
immediately wrote to
the
programme to say hey you are showing an unexpected
reaction, there is a
need
to double check.
