In his paper for homeopathy, he claims quite a few things that sound like quite a bit of bullroar, among these the ten types of crystalline ice, Van der Waals engery producing spherical water structures, and the ability of water to form "polymers?"
​
Jesus christ onna crutch, another geologist. What is with these geologists? First, Lindalou is quoting a geologist as an authoritative source on homeopathy and now this.
​
I am a biochemist, not a chemist, and even I know that this is a load of horseshit.
​
Water hydrogen bonds with itself. That is ALL it does.
​
And those bonds last 170 femtoseconds.
​
A femtosecond is one billionth of one millionth of a second.

Puh-leez
This is an interesting bank of resoucres which I'll be reading myself in coming days. It's called the National Center for Homeopathy. If you want, you can scroll down to the Peer Reviewed Journals section.
​
What a load of crap.
​
More "journals".
​
Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Homeopathy
​
BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine
​
Samueli Institute
​
Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine
​
The one reputable study mentioned, Department of Dermatology, Obitsu Sankei Hospital, 1-4 Namikinishi-machi, Kawagoe-city, Saitama-ken 350-0025, Japan, measured only placebo effects.
​
The effectiveness of individualized homeopathic treatment was measured using the patients' own assessments of seven elements (overall impression, improvement of skin condition, reduction of itchiness, reduction of sleep disturbance, satisfaction in daily life, fulfillment at work and satisfaction in human relations) using a nine-point scale similar to the Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital Outcome Scale (GHHOS).

Re: Puh-leez
The first study cited is not available online.
​
From the second study cited:
​
The test treatments were given as a complement to their unaltered conventional care.
​
Well. That rather undermines the results, don't you think?
​
From the third study cited:
​
Standard treatment with oral rehydration treatment was also given.
​
What is with this shit?
​
"Well, we will give a homeopathic and standard treatment and then we will attribute any positive outcomes to the homeopathics."
​
Get a grip, Lindalou.
