Shame on Wired News, for confusing flim-flam and science.

"A new book offers proof that homeopathic treatment is effective,
showing how its watered-down doses, which defy conventional medical
wisdom, work on the body. By Andy Patrizio.
"With a little help from a scientist looking for a way to clean car
engines, a physician has been able to explain the confounding paradox
behind why homeopathic medicine gets more potent as it's diluted.
"Lo said every substance exerts its own unique influence on the water, so
each cluster shape and configuration is unique to the substance added.
With each dilution and shaking, the clusters grow bigger and stronger.
This water, which homeopaths call "potentized," is considered "structured
water," because the water molecules have taken on a shape influenced by
the original substance.
"The clusters start to assume a form that mimics the structure of the
original substance itself. So even though the chemical can no longer
be detected, its "image" is there, taken on by the water molecules."
Yeah, right.
Wired News. If it weren't free, I wouldn't read it.
