Subject: Bizzare Chemical Discovery Gives Homoeopathic Hint

Dear Piet
Thanks for posting it, but I have heard homeopaths trying to use this theory
to explain homeopathy before. As I see it, it does not make any sense. If
molecules do clump together, then a few lucky people may get a few molecules of
medhorinum or whatever, but conversely more people wil get none, so the
majority will get go molecules at a lower level than the magic 12c potency.
I think the homeopathic tag to the article is just away for scientists to
get an insignificant 'Murphy's' law type phenomenen into the news. For now I
will stick with the line that scientists cannot explain it ... yet. IMO trying
to explain homeopathy with arguments that are not logical discredits
homeopathy.

But two chemists have found that some do the opposite: they clump together,
first as clusters of molecules, then as bigger aggregates of those clusters.
Far from drifting apart from their neighbors, they got closer together. The
discovery has stunned chemists, and could provide the first scientific insight
into how some homeopathic remedies work.
