Do you understand what a strawman is? It's a weak version of the real argument that you beat up. It's a very poor form of argumentation, and beyond that, I'm not going to address it. You easily beat the strawman. I will grant that. You still don't answer the real question. How does homeopathy work?Quote:

There's just something about snakeoil salesmen that irk me, whether they're at the county fair or in Washington D.C.
Yep! and we will even let you rub them on your bum when you lie in bed in ICU - that is unless you are using something like St John's wart which has been shown to have quite significant side effectsQuote:
