Homeopathy?

I've been trying and trying to find reasons for if and why this works. This is because my mind finds it really difficult to comprehend and believe something when it doesn't make sense. Maybe one day I'll go on a course and just rote learn all the theories. Acupuncture made some sense to me, as does herbalism and osteopathy. But sitting in on Traditonal Chinese Medicine doctors' consultations was one of the spookiest things I ever did. Maybe in a hundred years this will be more popular than modern medicine, but I think lots of us still need more convincing. I've found one study in the New Scientist but I find this hard to believe. As a colleague pointed out:

# it implies disaster would strike if the homeopathic solution would fall into a river. It would just be too powerful.

# how do the industrial scale factory produced homeopathic medicines sit with the idea of a personalised homeopathic prescription?

# how do you wash out your bottles after making up your homeopathic mixtures? (Each time you try to wash it, the residual traces of medicine would only become more "potent"!)

# how is homeopathy meant to have a "good" but not a "bad" effect? (How does the remedy know when to stop suppressing or stimulating the coagulation system say when it is at the optimum level for health?)

# if you were to make up a serial dilution of say 100 different homeopathic remedies, to a dilution below Avagadro's number, then how could you tell them apart? (If the labels were removed!) Could anyone, or any test, scientific or homeopathic tell them apart with an accuracy greater than chance?

But, I suppose, it apparently does work for some people.
