Treating Leick with like: response to criticisms of the use of  
entanglement to illustrate homeopathy
Lionel R. Milgrom

In criticising papers which recently appeared in Homeopathy, Leick  
claims that no double blind randomised clinical trials (DBRCTs) show  
that homeopathy is efficacious, and that specific effects of  
substances diluted beyond Avogadro's limit are implausible. He states  
that generalised entanglement models should be able to improve the  
design of experiments to test ultra-high dilutions, and disparages the  
authors' understandings of quantum physics. The paper responds to  
those criticisms. Several DBRCTs have shown that homeopathy has  
effects which are not due to placebo and these are now supported by  
preclinical work. This area of theory is in its infancy and it is  
unreasonable to expect it to have generated experiments at this stage.  
The authors have used accepted interpretations of quantum theory:  
Leick's view is coloured by skepticism concerning homeopathy.
