No you are wrongHomeopathy does not work at all. The beneficial effect some people may experience after visiting a homeopath may be due to a number of things but not to the homeopathic nostrum they have been given. There is not one properly run double blinded, randomised controlled trial that shows any beneficial effect of homeopathic medicine.
Edit: Having read the stuff that's appeared while I was writing. The placebo effect is well known in mainstream medicine and is sometimes employed. There is a lot of interest in the field of psychoneuropharmacy which is fascinating and I'm not suggesting any of this is nonsense. Homeopathy is nonsense however and deserves to be mocked.
The entire 'science' of homeopathy is quackary and nothing else. What is more it is potentially dangerous rubbish.
