FYI - although the modern practice of homeopathy may have been codified in the past two centuries, similar practices date back to at least classical antiquity. I agree that efforts to explain or justify homeopathic principles using the scientific method we've all been conditioned to believe is the only means of arriving at the truth are ridiculous, because the whole point of homeopathy is that it isn't traditional western medicine. On the other hand, I doubt that the practitioners are any more or less off base than traditional doctors, who, I suspect, are guessing far more often than they will ever admit. Common sense and improving your overall health will probably yield the best results in the long run.
