“…6 And there are also replicated high-quality in vivo animal research studies showing effects of homeopathic high dilutions. 7,8 Leick fails to mention any of these studies. One of the main problems here (apart from disregard of the fact that 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence'), 9 is the recent high-profile Lancet meta-analysis 10 that seems to show homeopathy is no better than placebo.…”

In criticising papers which recently appeared in Homeopathy, Leick claims that no double blind randomised clinical trials (DBRCTs) show that homeopathy is efficacious, and that specific effects of substances diluted beyond Avogadro's limit are implausible. He states that generalised entanglement models should be able to improve the design of experiments to test ultra-high dilutions, and disparages the authors' understandings of quantum physics. The paper responds to those criticisms. Several DBRCTs have shown that homeopathy has effects which are not due to placebo and these are now supported by preclinical work. This area of theory is in its infancy and it is unreasonable to expect it to have generated experiments at this stage. The authors have used accepted interpretations of quantum theory: Leick's view is coloured by skepticism concerning homeopathy.

“…The author confined himself to data from this type of experiment. Other types of experiments performed by the initial team were not considered: Experiments on Rana temporaria from lowland biotopes, 11 Bufo bufo, 12 on other application intervals continuous treatment through the walls of a sealed glass vial 13e15 and experiments with other dilutions (thyroxine 6x or 8x, 16,17 'Q-potencies' 18 ), experiments starting from another than the standardized 2-legged stage 19,20 and experiments with artificially hyperstimulated larvae 21,22 were excluded.…”

(A) In the author's own experiment, there was a clear trend of T30x animals developing more slowly (i.e. up to 6 h within 3 days) than W30x animals. This is in line with the previous experiments. Due to small numbers of animals, the differences in the frequency of larvae reaching the 4-legged stage and the stage with reduced tail were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The effect size was large (d > 0.08). (B) In the analysis of all available data with regard to the 4-legged stage, pooled T30x values from the initial team were 10.1% smaller than W30x values (100%) and pooled T30x values from the 5 independent researchers were 12.4% smaller (p < 0.01 and d > 0.08). Analogously, the number of animals entering the juvenile stage with reduced tail was smaller for T30x than for W30x.
