UK Homeopathy Evidence Check

26 11 2009

Check out the link below for a fascinating discussion about homeopathy featuring Ben Goldcare and Edzard Ernst plus quite a few others.  This discussion is from the House of Commons Science and Technology Sub-Committee relating to government expenditure on homeopathy.

It takes the form of a grilling by a committee of two panels of experts.  The wriggling by the proponents of homeopathy is fascinating.

It is ~2 hours long and available streaming here:

No its not. I will fail to be convinced by a single article by a true believer in magic water on a online homeopathy magazine. This is not research but a whole article of special pleading and strawmen [as well as the standard misapplication of quantum physics - a common tactic by a range of CAM believers].
