James Randi explains homeopathy

If you believe that homeopathic medicine can treat ailments better than medicine that has been scientifically proven to work, you are acting irrational. In this short video James Randi explains homeopathy. This is a portion of the lecture Randi gave at Princeton in 2001.

The full video is here: James Randi Lecture at Princeton 2001.

James Randi dismantles homeopathy.

As shown by Randi in the video, there is no way homeopathy can work according to chemistry as we know it; the math simply doesn’t work out. At commonly-available retail dilutions, there is a vanishingly small chance that the product contains even one molecule of the supposedly-active ingredient—which is typically an antidote to the desired effect, if not an outright poison.
