> homeopathy that invented evidence-based medicine and drug testing

I'll need a citation for that. Homeopathy is one of the most blatantly nonsensical, improbable, and unproven "disciplines" I've ever come across.

Edit: For context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy

[Alex3917]

From a JAMA book review:

"19th-century homeopaths pioneered systematic drug-testing research, challenged the dangerously depleting procedures of mainstream physicians at that time, established rigorous professional standards, and valued advanced education at least as highly as their mainstream counterparts did. It was not without reason that homeopaths considered the bases of their approach to medical problems to be more logical and more promising than the inherited tradition of the ancients, upon which mainstream physicians still based their practices."

(For what it's worth, JAMA highly recommends the book.)

Homeopathy may have been cutting edge in the 19th century (I doubt it), but this is the 21st. Science has moved on.
