At last!  A scientific rationale for homeopathy!

This paper is a first step towards a full, quantum understanding of homeopathy. It is clear that quantum mechanics is the only way to understand the success of homeopathic medicine in a physical context. It is also immediately clear that doctors should avoid patients after treatment. Patients must also be aware of their responsibility in this respect. What is not yet clear is whether conscious observation of patient by doctor pre-treatment may result in the collapse of the wave-function as well. Double blind trials with doctors either seeing or not seeing their patients should be carried out in a strictly controlled environment to ascertain the importance of total patient-avoidance by homeopaths.

May contain highly diluted parody – but it can only be a matter of time until it’s cited in all seriousness…

(Thanks to Legless for the pointer.)

Meanwhile, The Times has a nice little article on just how much active ingredient there is in the average homeopathic “remedy”.
