In the Arnica-Montana complaint/retraction "case" (http://www.arnica.com.au/index.php -- hahaha), I read her response to the complaint, and amongst the rest of her whinging and 3 pages of life history, she said: "Controlled trials cannot be used for Homeopathy but there is a mass of unpublished evidence eg at the Glasgow Royal Homeopathic Hospital UK and at many other Homeopathic Establishments world wide including the casenotes made by Hahnemann himself in Leipzig university archives from the late 18th and early 19th century clearly showing the effectiveness and efficacy of Homeopathic treatment." Putting aside the rest of that laughable paragraph for a moment, why can't controlled trials be used for homeopathy? HMM... Sorry, didn’t know where else to put this.

Oh so often the media only allow small exerpts from those whose points are based on evidence then allow the final blurb to come from someone who essentially is speaking out their arse.
