- No reasonable practitioner will disagree with this. Unfortunately,
- the technology available for many tests is simply not always
- available. While this could be seen as an easy cop out, only
- time will tell whether it is true. One homeopathic researcher
- said that a good analogy to the difference between allopathy and
- homeopathy is the comparison between Newtonian physics and
- relativistic physics. Einstein's theories would appear to
- contradict much of Newtonian physics but both exist side-by-side.
- The implications of relativistic theory were nondetectable in
- Newton's day but are not so now. This researcher believes that
- the technology to detect the functions of homeopathy will be
- available within a deacade or two. Only time will tell for sure.
-
- In the mean time, some of us will use these methods anyway. Noone
- is forcing the skeptics to use them. We merely ask that the powers
- that be do not make them illiegal. Such legal threats do appear
- from time to time.
