Well, since the subject-of-the-day appears to be medicine anyways...

Interesting newsitem in this morning's news about the proclaimed scientific evidence of homeopathy actually working. (Mind you I'm not interested in opening the discussion for believers versus non-believers, nor for the obvious load of 'I experienced it myself stories') As far as I parsed the soundbite in the news there were monitored effects of what has been explained by some vague 'water-has-memory' theory. I wouldn't go as far as taking it as evidence pro the theory but at least it would put up some interesting new puzzles for the scientific world to come up with some sound counter-theory.

Luckily we're blessed here in flanders with the skepp, a well-organized scientific group of sceptici that obviously know all about Popper and his falsifiability. I must say I like the enthousiasm in their reaction towards tasting the pudding before accepting it's proof.

Strange to find both the skepp-website down (or at least ill mastered) as well as no obvious trace of the new claims on the ECH website.
