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.
在批评近期发表于《顺势疗法》的论文时，莱克声称没有双盲随机临床试验（DBRCTs）表明顺势疗法有效，并且稀释超过阿伏伽德罗极限的物质的特定效应是不合理的。他指出广义纠缠模型应该能够改进测试超高稀释度的实验设计，并贬低了作者对量子物理学的理解。本文对这些批评做出回应。多项双盲随机临床试验表明顺势疗法具有并非由安慰剂导致的效果，并且这些现在得到了临床前研究的支持。该理论领域尚处于起步阶段，期望它在现阶段已经产生实验是不合理的。作者们采用了被广泛接受的量子理论解释：莱克的观点因对顺势疗法的怀疑而带有偏见。
