Never mind that we have drunk a molecule of water that has passed through the bladder of Oliver Cromwell, we have probably all drunk a molecule of water that has passed through someone who has already taken a homeopathic remedy.

One thing I don't understand, though, about alternative medicines is how do they qualify as "alternative", so that they are not required to go through the very rigorous and expensive tests that "conventional" medicines have to go through. If both forms of medicine are available on the NHS, what determines the difference?
