Homeopathy

I would enjoy reading a summary (please not a long report as the subject is boring enough) of someone that's actually done some constructive research into the subject. No arguments I've heard FOR or AGAINST seem convincing enough to me and until then, although I personally think it's fishtank fodder, I'll try to keep an open mind about it

you argue like a 12 year old, so i might have to start treating you like a 12yr old.

have you tried: Google Scholar?
no didn't think so.

incidentally- excluding the articles in the journal 'Homeopathy', which we can discredit for obvious reasons we come up with:

A systematic review of systematic reviews of homeopathy
this title means that he's spent time reading all the reviews on the subject and has carefully analysed the results (a translation for you)
chances are, the poor bugger has read many of the primary articles in each of the reviews as well

by:
E. Ernst
Department of Complementary Medicine, School of Sport & Health Sciences, University of Exeter, 25 Victoria Park Road, Exeter EX2 4NT UK
in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology
For you, I'll explain that- its the main journal in the UK in the study of drugs and their efficacy -in a clinical (ie patient facing) environment

summarised by his abstract:
Homeopathy remains one of the most controversial subjects in therapeutics. This article is an attempt to clarify its effectiveness based on recent systematic reviews. Electronic databases were searched for systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the subject. Seventeen articles fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Six of them related to re-analyses of one landmark meta-analysis. Collectively they implied that the overall positive result of this meta-analysis is not supported by a critical analysis of the data. Eleven independent systematic reviews were located. Collectively they failed to provide strong evidence in favour of homeopathy. In particular, there was no condition which responds convincingly better to homeopathic treatment than to placebo or other control interventions. Similarly, there was no homeopathic remedy that was demonstrated to yield clinical effects that are convincingly different from placebo. It is concluded that the best clinical evidence for homeopathy available to date does not warrant positive recommendations for its use in clinical practice.

i've highlighted relevant sections.

and finally its been cited 127 times, a fairly good indicator of the quality of the paper, and this is a good paper.
