  1. Here are the conclusions reached respectively for the below url's, nothing
    to bet the bank on, thought you would want to know:

    However, we found insufficient evidence from these studies that
    homeopathy is clearly efficacious for any single clinical condition.
    Further research on homeopathy is warranted provided it is rigorous
    and systematic.

    and:

    the moment the evidence of clinical trials is positive but not
    sufficient to draw definitive conclusions because most trials
    are of low methodological quality and because of the unknown
    role of publication bias. This indicates that there is a
    legitimate case for further evaluation of homoeopathy, but only
    by means of well performed trials.

    Medical Scientism has supported homeopathy. 🙂

    If you don't like it, then take the matter up with BMJ and The Lancet.

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha! You geeks are ignorant!

    Just my opinion. But, I am *right* as usual!

  2. Once upon a time, our fellow [email hidden]
    rambled on about "Re: Lessons on Alternative Medicine: Homeopathy."
    Our champion De-Medicalizing in sci.med.nutrition retorts, thusly ...

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha!

    "Further research on whatever-is-being-studied is generally
    warranted," is the standard conclusion for almost all health related
    research.

    Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂
