The Lancet bravely takes on the job of showing what a load of nonsense is the belief that homeopathy “works” in any provable way. The published study (of which the link above is to the summary abstract) uses conventional scientific methods to show that there is no clinical effect from homeopathic treatments, and that the effects are fully consistent with placebo effects. The late, great Douglas Adams hits the proverbial nail on the head:
Nicely put… The reaction of “World Leaders” to the death of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia has been just as craven and abject as might have been expected. The recent terrorist attacks in London make one, yet again, wonder how on earth religious beliefs bring people to do such things. Polly Toynbee, writing in the Guardian a few days ago, captures it well:
I needed a good backup tool for my (:blush:) Windows XP system at home. Searched high and low. Concluded there was nothing available that was free, and stumped up hard cash for WinBackup v1. Some time back I bought the most beautiful PC case you can imagine: a Lian Li PC-6070. This thing is elegant, understated, and solid. All brushed aluminium and thumbscrews. I’ve been using Linux, in both work and home environments, for about 6 years now. We Linux fans do regularly get the urge to change distros, and I’ve got through a few…! No offence to the dozens and dozens of distros that I don’t mention here. I’m sure they are fabulous, but I’ve not tried them. |
