Homeopathy — a response

[摘要] I hope I may be allowed to reply to the several letters1–4 commenting on my deliberately provocative personal column on homeopathy.5 All four authors assert their belief that homeopathy ‘works’, two of them making the claim that the fact that it works in babies and animals proves that this is more than a placebo effect. None of them cites any objective source of evidence for their beliefs, nor do they address the main point of my piece, which was to try to lay out the extraordinary, and to me still literally incredible, rationale that lies at the heart of homeopathic practice.
