Homeopathy, fundamentalism, and the memory of water
Lionel R. Milgrom

Re: Homeopathy: does a teaspoon of honey help the medicine go down? Sagar SM. Curr Oncol 2007; 14:126–7.

Sir,
Pointing out the obvious (i.e., that seeking homeopathic treatment for cancer prior to early conventional diagnosis could be dangerous, and claiming efficacy for homeopathy’s ultra-highly diluted remedies runs counter to Avogadro’s hypothesis) does not exonerate Dr. Sagar’s editorial of grossly misrepresenting the Memory of Water (mow) hypothesis.
This compounds an unwarranted slur not only on homeopathy, those who practice it, and the millions around the world who benefit from it, but the many scientists researching mow. For his description of mow simply ignores recent published research from the materials, physical, and biochemical sciences 1–6. In addition, the editorial evinces the usual evangelical faith in the “gold standard” drug-testing procedure, the double-blind randomized-controlled trial (dbrct), and its presumed infallibility at providing incontestable evidence for or against the efficacy of homeopathy, or indeed any therapeutic modality 7.
