Part two of my examination of Lionel Milgrom’s attempted refutation of common criticisms of homeopathy moves on to his defence against claims that it can be dangerous.

A homeopathic refutation – part one
Posted on September 6, 2009
An essay by Lionel Milgrom purports to refute the charges sceptics level at homeopathy. Of course it does not.

Making your own reality – part 2
Posted on August 26, 2008
I sent in a comment to the Zeus Information Service about a recent interview of Dana Ullman they are carrying. They asked Mr Ullman to contact me directly, and he has sent me a very gracious reply. Shame that it’s just plain nonsense.

Making your own reality
Posted on August 19, 2008
Dana Ullman makes something up about Shang et al; Sue Young carries it on her website and refuses to allow the facts to get in the way. Business as usual in Alt.Reality.

Publish and be damned
Posted on August 16, 2008
Homeopath Clive Stewart concedes that Shang identified the ailments treated by their final eight studies, but feels that they may have told the truth and there’s no way to tell. An example of failing to understand the role of scientific publications and the way they are scrutinised.
