Gold Standards, Golden Calves, and Random Reproducibility: Why  
Homeopaths at Last Have Something to Smile About
Lionel R. Milgrom

The Chinese have a saying: “May you live in interesting times!” Such  
ancient prescience from our recently lavish Olympic hosts could well  
indicate further trouble ahead for established governance, finance,  
and health care systems as they experience greater scrutiny, and the  
public grows wary (if not weary) of calming official measures. In this  
editorial, I will consider two fascinating developments—a  
controversial statement from the Chair of the UK’s National Institute  
for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) on the status of randomized  
controlled trials (RCTs), and the paper in this issue of The Journal  
of Alternative and Complementary Medicine by Dr. Otto Weingärtner on  
reproducibility in experiments on homeopathic potency—both of which  
clearly demonstrate that science also is not immune to this turbulence.
