I mostly take offence to anecdotal evidence- all of your points (arguments):
I'm with photoben. As I said before my partner is a firm believer, which is fine with me but what happens once there is another...?
Go see a homeopath and you'll understand. I have no clue about this stuff but I'll try to explain.
They use this machine that measures the frequency (or something) by putting this metal thingy on your pressure points. Different points for different ailments or organs etc.
If everything is OK it hovers around the 50mark (there is a scale from 0 to 100 I think) but if there is an "imbalance" it shoots up. This has been surprisingly/annoyingly accurate too.
They then put the "remedies" they think will help on this plate that is part of the circuit and with some remedies it calms down to the 50 mark again and with others it doesn't
There are also more advanced machines where they strap things to your limbs and head to measure multiple pressure points simultaneously.
The reports that come from this thingy are scarily detailed and accurate

Listen you fucknut!
If you read carefully you will see that I don't have much faith in the effectiveness of homeopathy but have found my experience of their diagnosis rather puzzling as the equipment used often highlighted small ailments which I was aware of but which would not have been obvious to the practitioner.
I was never really fussed about the arguments for or against it as my girlfriend wanted me to go and I was happy to do it. What I thought of it was neither here nor there and although I sometimes take the piss out of the treatment and methods I am in no position to rubbish something I don't understand or have any knowledge about.
So if you want to form an educated opinion about something why don't you go and check it out yourself and then perhaps study up on some subjective research into it. Reading up on other people's opinions doesn't really count and then you can come back and update me with a brief of what you find you donkey
