My homeopathy pills defy scientific theory

My homeopathy pills defy scientific theory

The theory behind the homeopathic pill is that the more diluted the solution in the pill, the more effective the medicine.

It’s this theory that is scoffed at by some scientists. They point to the fact that laboratory analysis of the pills shows that, apart from the binding substance of the pill itself (sugar, I think), there is nothing else to be found. They conclude therefore that these pills cannot have any effect on the body.
