Thank you klavot, and please accept my apology also.
Perhaps my wording was a little clumsy when I said I find you objectionable. As you have pointed out, its your views, not you as a person that I feel that way about.
I've no problem with people questioning views, it is after all what reaffirms our beliefs.
You mentioned Lars post and how it shifted your view. Because you didnt reply to his lengthy reply, an onlooker would simply deduce that you took no interest in it. I'd also take issue with the fact you now claim ONLY to be questioning homeopathy when your original remarks focussed on orthomolecular treatments.
Briefly on the subject of homeopathy (sorry must go out but want to at least post something up here). In the past couple of years a pair of norwegian physicists doing totally unrelated work found that molecules of water in fact DID have memory and the discussion then moved on to homeopathy as this unrelated work according to the experts, backed up the science of homeopathy. It was something on a news item and i've never re-found the piece so can't quote its source I'm afraid. If my memory serves me correctly though, they were working on ice samples.
I've tried it and I'm not convinced it did anything for me (a difficult premise to be sure about though) but that doesnt mean it does not work for everyone. I certainly wouldn't be confident enough to call someone a liar who claimed to have been cured by homeopathy.
IMO human beings are too full of their own self importance (doctors maybe more so!), and far too readily ignore the millions of years of interaction between our organism and the animals, plants and other nutrients which surround us. Such interactions are far more significant than we'd like to admit.
Regards
TJ
