‘It is both a science and an art’

Open season on alternative medicine in the UK: CAM degrees slammed as “gobbledygook” by Nature journal. (must scroll down when you get on this page)

My comment sent to the Daily Mail and The Herald (only papers I found where comments were welcomed)

'Scientists' do not seem to be able to grasp the simple fact that homeopathic medicines are not made using dilution alone! Dilution alone would do nothing whatsoever without SUCCUSSION. Succussion or vigorous shaking is conducted between each numerical potency, i.e. between a 1c and a 2c, a 2c and a 3c, a 3c and a 4c, etc. etc.

The medicine is succussed 100 times between each numerical potency in order to bring out the formative intelligence of the substance which is imprinted on the 60% water/40% alcohol medium. Alcohol acts as a preservative.

Homeopathy can never be tested through double blind randomised trials because each prescription is individualised as every person is unique. Therefore you might line up 10 people with arthritis and they may all need a different homeopathic medicine for their arthritis.

There are more than 4000 homeopathic medicines including everything on the periodic table. Homeopathy is both a science and an art. Louise Mclean
