Usual suspect writes: "Homeopathy is quackery. The goal is to get the
"spirit" of a substance
into the preparation by diluting into ridiculously small fractions. The

The theory behind homeopathy does indeed seem ridiculous but some
studies into its
efficiacy have suggested positive results for the technique. The study
sighted by Rudy
may have concluded that the effect is no greater than a placebo but
this conclusion
is not consistent with all meta-analyses on the subject. As far as I
know the jury
is still out.
