There are a lot bigger guns debunking homeopathy than Quackwatch. However I haven't seen any that support/validate it.

Actually, homeopathy was integral in the development of my catchphrase, "If it can't hurt to try it, then it can't hurt to try it." If someone wants to try homeopathy, it probably won't hurt (though I'm not a doctor) and the greatest risk (AFAIK) is their hard-earned money and loss of time. OTOH, if it's the last thing left to pursue, I spoze loss of time is moot.

Homeopathy has been equated with placebo, and I do accept the placebo effect (for which there is ample support).

Thanks for the alternate POV. *admin edit*
