Jade, I will not answer you because there is nothing really in which I disagree, but just that there is more than those alternatives you mentioned, some have been proposed by some physicists.
Raithere, you can't attack someone even before knowing what he means by the word "God" the guy proposed something and insted of reading him you guys jumped on him only because he proposed something.
Now, lets answer your question about "However, studies do not show any significant correlation." Because I think I am able to answer that question because I am unknowledgeble in the medical field, and I am in what we call in a "scientific" discipline and as much as it is possible for me as a "scientific" I am an open minded individual and a real skeptic.
So here let you refer you to widly used drugs, for what they are used and what are their effects in overdoses. NSAIDs are widly used drugs, known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the way they work is by supressing a specific type of prostaglandin that is believed to play a role in the inflammatory reaction. In long overdozed uses in many treatments they have shown to do just the opposit by creating inflammation by the inhibitation process(I spare all the technicity here).
In fact, in the hand book "The Essential Guide to Prescription Drugs" I have, there is many many drugs that in the mechanism of action section it is writen by the authors( James J. Rybacki, Pharm. D., and James W. Long, M.D.), that the mechanism of action is still not well understood, in short we ignore why they work, many of those drugs and others have as side effects after overdoses that are the compleat opposit of those for which they are used to treat, like many NSAIDs.
Thats exactlly one of the logics used behind homeopathy, this reaction of oppsit answers has been known in the world of pharamcology for the last 80 years back after the first world war, many drugs when given in big amounts causes reaction and even induces problems for which they have been made to treat for, if need be I can explain you why.
The second way that homeopathy works is near the way that vaccins works, I don't think that anyone here will dare to tell that vaccins don't work, the logic is to give a very little amount of the substance that in normal amount will induce a problem, and wait that as reaction the body immune system over-eact to the pathogen, in a way that this over-reaction, this "plus", will answer back to the known problem.
There is nothing magical in homeopathy, only ignorants will claim that there is no correlations or proves, there are physicians that now treat their patients with homeopathic products, and for those that will claim that studies have been done that shows they are no better than placebos... here a little read.

Now Raithere, tell me what the f.k are those so-called skeptic organisation doing in the field of homeopathy ? What will be next ?
PS: There is two foods for the mind, one is scientific knowledge, the other is the "sense of life" the "why" this brough religions, science and that should not be mixed, science will never bring those answers.
