Claims to the efficacy of homeopathic treatment beyond the placebo
effect<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo>are unsupported by the
collective weight of
scientific <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method> and
clinical<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_medicine>evidence.

homeopathic preparations are often indistinguishable from the pure
diluent because the purported medicinal compound is diluted beyond the point
where there is any likelihood that molecules from the original solution are
present in the final
product;[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#cite_note-Dynamization_and_Dilution-7>the
claim that these treatments still have any pharmacological
effect <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology> is thus scientifically
implausible[9] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#cite_note-shang-8>

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action>.[11]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#cite_note-NatureWhenToBelieve-10>Critics
also object that the number of high-quality studies that support
homeopathy is small, the conclusions are not definitive, and duplication of
the results, a key test of scientific validity, has proven problematic at
best.[12] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#cite_note-11> The lack of
convincing scientific
evidence<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_evidence>supporting
its efficacy
[13] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#cite_note-Adler-12> and its
use of remedies without active ingredients have caused homeopathy to be
regarded as pseudoscience
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience>[14]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy#cite_note-NSBattitudes-13>or
quackery

What needs to be done:

Log into Wiki and challenge this pararaph, its location in the piece, and
the entire tone of the article.

Attack mainstream "scientific" quackery in the same tone.

Leo, Jagannath, your move.
