I'm very sceptical of homeopathy. Pyrogenium is a substance that many
homeopaths have a lot of faith in, apparently. Have there been any
studies,
carried out by reputable followers of the scientific method, which support
their claims at all?

Thanks.

Do you know how to use PubMed? (www.pubmed.gov)

Well, if you put "pyrogenium" into its search window you get a total of
three papers. All about homeopathy, at least two in a homeopathy journal...
and the most resent paper over 13 years ago.

If they had lots of faith in the stuff, you would think they would write
about it more.

Now ask yourself... have there been ANY studies by any reputable followers
of the scientific method that support ANY kind of homeopathic remedy? If
there have been, then please share the documentation.

Until then read:
