10^23 Homeopathy Overdose - Perth Skeptics at the Pub

I just ate about half a bottle of homeopathic Arsenicum Album. And guess what? No effect whatsoever. But how could it have any effect? It's diluted, one molecule of AA to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00­0 molecules of water.

A recent study evidencing for homeopathy was done at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Texas U., one of the most prestigious cancer centers in the US. It found that four homeopathic remedies were able to induce programmed cell death in breast cancer cells. A previous M.D. Anderson study on cancer also evidenced for homeopathy. Clinical work shows that homeopathy alone can treat cancer successfully and without damaging surrounding cells or destroying the immune system.

I would be glad if this were true. Can you point me to the article? I'd like to find out more about it, especially

- if the study was double-blind

- if the study was replicated

- if everything on their methodology was solid

So whatever info you have would be welcome.

Sorry, arnicaworks, but the point stands. People claim that taking homeopathics has some effect, but here you have tons of people snarfing them down with no effect whatever. And lots of scientific studies showing no effect whatever. Homeopathy doesn't "work like that" because homeopathy doesn't "work".

@Amygdala100 4 months on and still no information about this article?

@arnicaworks You could've shortened your statement to the following: "Sorry guys but homeopathy doesn't work". The added benefit being that your unsubstantiated assertion would be transformed into a fact.

Homeopathy unanswered questions:

- what's the basis of the original ingredient?

- is there an expiry date?

- does sterilization clear water's memory?

- anything else that clears water's memory?

- is it possible for water to remember something bad and harmful?

- is water from the tap safe, because it might have remembered all kinds of bad things?

- is water in the lake and oceans safe because it might have remembered something bad and harmful?

I'm waiting...

There is more scientific evidence that Placebos work - Think about it!

Maybe Homeopathy is just a big Placebo game?
