Enormous threadjack: Anyone fancy seeing a homeopathy talk tomorrow in Oxford, UK?'Dr Steven Cartwright is a molecular biologist who came to homeopathy in 1984,
and since then has been fascinated by the scientific background of the concept.
In 1988 after training, he set up business as a homeopath in Oxford, and his aim
has been to try and contribute to an understanding of how homeopathy might work.
Since 2009 he has been carrying out experiments funded by private donations and
a homeopathic pharmacy.
His talk will focus on some of the misunderstandings surrounding homeopathy,
particularly in relation to the issue of dilution beyond any molecular content
and the interpretation of the clinical evidence. He will discuss recent research
which indicates that homeopathic medicines impart a subtle level of order onto
solutions which may eventually provide an explanation of how homeopathy might
work.
For more about Steven and his work see his Oxford Homeopathy webpage and
particularly the research outline, both linked from his Ox Cafe Sci information
page at www.cafesci.org/oxford/cartwright-0410.html
Doors open 6:30pm, talk starts 7pm.'
Cheers, my inbox.

But it works, I tell you.I was once cured of diarrhoea by drinking lots of water, which must have had the memory of all the people who've ever shat in it.

Can he produce independently-verified test results? Tribs 🦇 ↓ dn ʎɐʍ sᴉɥʇ ↓🦇,

Double blind, randomized trials, mind.And also, can he explain how this 'ordering' effect on solutions can overcome the rearrangement of the hbonding clathrate networks in water (the most likely solution to preserve some sort of order) which are on the timescale of picoseconds.
Finally, can he explain exactly when he became an idiot?

Biochemistry at Edinburgh. No idea what his topic was, but proteinHe's published a paper with one of my lecturers (Andrew Coulson) in 1979, so probably related to this:
www.nature.com/nature/journal/v278/n5702/abs/278360a0.html
"A semi-synthetic penicillinase inactivator"

So, he's gone from stopping things from workingto things that don't work in the first place.
To some, that could appear to be progress of a sort.
