Homepathy Belfast study (Inflammation Research, vol 53, p 181)

Hi!

Sorry, I didn't have time serching thru the forum. I just registered, and this might have already come up.
Thru slashdot.org I found out about this article:
http://www.newscientist.com/channel/space/mg18524911.600
Interesting is Number 4 (and Number 1 - funny they split homepathy and placebo in 2 different categories - I think they are the same

Then I googled and came up with this, which even mentions Randy:

Any comments?
I don't want to start a flame war, I just want to know if anybody here read the study (not articles about it, but the thing itself) and saw something fishy (no double-blind, etc comes to mind).

I hate it having to rebuke every little of these so called studies. My girlfriend and I have a lot of fights about this.

Cheers and have a nice weekend
Leonard

Thank you!
I finally got round to looking at that again. I actually read that BBC Horizon Transcript (which also features James Randi) - I Just didn't make the connection. That was two years ago, yet the New Scientist People didn't know about it.

So much fo a "classical" publication.

How about a new saying: "Only believe, what you googled yourself"

Cheers
