A Hypothesis on Homeopathy, Part 1

Al Gray - Thursday, September 02, 2010

Words used by skeptics and many physical scientists in describing homeopathy have always included terms such as quackery; the latest addition to this set is:“witch-craft.” Any success obtained in the clinical practice of homeopathy has been either dismissed or explained away in reference to the placebo effect. From a theoretical viewpoint, the most severe objection to homeopathy rests on the argument that the homeopathic solutions are so diluted that not even a single drug  molecule may be present in it. Since we will have much occasion to use the term, let’s give it a short-form: ANBO (Avogadro’s Number-Based Objections). There are two distinct processes involved in homeopathy: (i) conducting the provings, and (ii) selection and application of a suitable remedy. Obviously, the ANBO applies in both the cases.
