At this time the words 'peer-reviewed' have a bad rap, thank you CRU, and people like to go in for this water memory nonsense to begin with are not exactly the sort to be able to get it themselves, they have to rely on the credibility, now in short supply, and Homeopathy looks scientific.


Still regard their published articles as peer reviewed. I do get annoyed with people who write off homeopathy as "it's no better than placebo". The placebo effect is a powerful and worthy clinical treatment, in the right hands.


The point being of course, that right now the words 'peer-reviewed' have a nasty flavor to them. Anyone who wants to believe in something can more easily dismiss skepticism on those grounds. I don't believe I dismissed homeopathy as no better than a placebo, I suppose I would say it might represent an alternative form of placebo, but so does snake oil.
