Homoeopathy

Still no scientific evidence

From Mr J. Sharp, HonMRPharmS

Lawrence Collin (PJ, 19 April, p547) has taken up the challenge I offered to Tony Pinkus to provide evidence for the (apparent) extraordinary ability of "ordinary" (that is, non-homoeopathic) calcium phosphate to produce the wide and diverse range of symptoms which, inferentially, would be expected of it on the basis of the "like cures like" homoeopathic principle (PJ, 5 April, p477).

May I be allowed to point out that three "would have beens", one "would have" and one "may have" do not constitute anything remotely approaching scientific evidence?

John Sharp
Woodley, Berkshire
