Read "Structure of Water" by Rustum Roy, William Tiller and others. Roy is the founder of the material sciences department at Penn State, Tiller was head of Stanford's. Read Georgos Agnagnostatos' report on homeopathic clathrates. Agnagnostatos is a nuclear physicist. These are science heavy weights who are introducing supramolecular chemistry as the basis for homeopathy. It adds up.
What doesn't add up are PSEUDOskeptics claims that homeopathy cures are due solely to the placebo effect..
What they didn't cover enough here is that, the reason it's wrong for Boots to be selling it and not some quack voodoo shop down the street is because Boots, as a pharmacy chain, has an ethical responsibility to be honest to consumers. Pharmacists are highly trained in chemistry, biology, etc, so when people walk into a pharmacy, they assume that the drugs on the shelf actually do something.
5 META ANALYSES showing positive results on Homeopathy.
1. Cucherat et al 2000 16 Hi-Qt studies POSITIVE.
2. Linde & Melchart 1998 32 Hi-Qt studies POSITIVE.
3. Linde et al 1997 89 studies POSITIVE.
4. Boissel et al 1996 15 Hi-Qt studies POSITIVE.
5. Kleijnen et al 1991 105 studies POSITIVE.

"the burden of proof is always on the person making the claim"
Skeptics who claim that patients of Homeopathy are cured by the placebo effect must prove their claims!
To date there is not an iota of evidence to show that these patients were cured by the placebo effect.
On the contrary, we are seeing more evidence everyday in studies & clinical trials to show that Homeopathy is NOT the placebo effect.
The placebo effect is temporary, whereas Homeopathy cure is lasting.

Jeez, Wright's never been able to make the distinction between cynic and skeptic in all the years I've been watching the show.

Key point missed from this discussion:
Homeopathy tablets are essentially working as a glorified placebo. But if you know you're buying a placebo, it doesn't become a placebo anymore.
Same as if a doctor were to perscribe them. You can ask for your medical records, and find you were given a placebo.
So that's why they shouldn't be sold.

The misconception that homeopathy is 'herbal is so widespread, perhaps the 1023 campaign will remedy that.
Lets just state the fact one more time:
There is nothing in Homeopathic remedies (Not even homeopaths deny this)
So it must work by magic? No, because it doesn't work at all. It doesn't perform better than placebo.
It relies on our obsession with "natural" & "herbal" when there's nothing in it.
It's a pseudoscience that exploits are ability to fool ourselves & make false correlations.
