- Why do you think that? Do you think those who claimed to tell the
- future from the entrails of animals "stumbled onto an actual effect"?
- There used to be many, many schools of homeopathic medicine in the
- US. Now there is only one (Hahnemann) which wishes it could just
- be shed of homeopathy anyhow. Why do you suppose this is? Conspiracy?
- Could it be that homeopathy is just another timeworn superstition
- that has outlived its era?
