Further to Bob's comment on Homeopathy treatment, the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CISCOP) has carried out studies on a whole range of Alternative medicines, some of which are recorded in their 'Skeptiseum' at http://www.csicop.org/skeptiseum/. They have found that Homeopathy dilutes any active ingredient to the stage where it is doubtful whether even one molecule of the active ingredient is still present in the solution. In analysing the "medicine" no one has been able to distinguish it from water. At least it won't do you any harm:-) Roger Evans A skeptic from down under > > > I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "the true sense". Isn't St. > > John's Wort an herb?
