A common criticism of homeopathy is that we use medicines that are diluted beyond the point where any of the original molecules of the substance are left in the prescribed medicine. These 'ultra-molecular dilutions' are controversial to some and often considered to be no more than placebo! An interesting new piece of research would have us believe otherwise. Published in the International Journal of Oncology in February this year, it shows how ultra-molecular preparations of 4 medicines commonly prescribed for cancer patients had a selective effect in killing cancer cells in test tubes while not affecting normal cells, proving that highly diluted homeopathic medicines can in fact have a measurable effect and are not simply water / placebo.
