You claimHomeopathyhas no science behind it and that you have to
"question" those who refer people to Homeopaths.

Without any doubt!!!!!

The illogic of such a sweeping and unsubstantiated generalization is
obvious and needs no comment.

You claim that there are no double blinded placebo controlled

ones, many with positive results - some even performing better than
standard medicines available as OTC remedies.

Ah, NOW it is the "well-run" double blinded tests - I believe the
original author's assertion were that there were NO such tests.

The tune is changing but the fallacy is the same.

Homeopaths are promoting the use of their quackery as an alternative to
immunisation against childhood and tropical diseases. *THAT'S CRIMINAL!!!

And here we see the context changed from Homeopathy to the very real
possibility of incompetent or criminal Homeopaths which naturally
should be subsumed in the category with incompetent or criminal MD's,
surgeons...etc..

I see your entire argument is to continually repeat that Homeopathy
is "quackery" without any regard for the research mentioned, the fact
that it is ongoing, and the fact that it is being performed by very
competent genuine scientists. Do you feel the same way towards the
quantum physicists who espouse the "many worlds" theory of Quantum
Mechanics? Perhaps you want to call them charlatans because their
theories are, I can assure you, far "crazier" than anything Homeopathy
has to offer and it would appear your "standard" of judgement is that
the proposed science may violate your personal common "sense" and your
mental models of chemical molecules.

Shall they be added to the list too?
