Homoeopathy

Confirmed believers

From Mr S. H. Baylis, MRPharmS

SIR,—One must applaud Mr Woodman for his clever tilt at the ludicrous belief in homoeopathy (PJ, January 22, p131). He applies the phenomenon of "Schrodinger's cat" to make his point. But the case against homoeopathy is compounded by the fact that the likelihood of finding even a single particle in many doses of a 30x potency (sic) is remote in the extreme. Potent stuff indeed. It appears from the appeal that homoeopathy makes to the uninformed public that every age (even this enlightened age) has its quota of confirmed believers in superstition.
