It's fair to say that 2010 hasn't been a vintage year for homeopathy so far. At the end of January, a mass public 'overdose' by critics aiming to demonstrate the fact that homeopathic remedies contain no active ingredients received widespread coverage. Weeks later, the Science & Technology Select Committee released a report that damned not just homeopathy, but the homeopaths themselves, ultimately concluding that homeopathy works no better than placebo, and that NHS funding for the alternative medicine should be scrapped.
In recent days, the homeopathic community have gathered themselves together to respond, and the response has been directed along three fronts: criticism of the select committee itself, complaints that evidence suggesting homeopathy deserved more research effort was not properly considered,and an appeal to preserve public 'choice'.

I have also spoken with patients who have cats and dogs who have taken homeopathic remedies and have fully recovered. Dogs and cats don't know about homeopathy or placebos.

I would recommend George Vithoulkas' book "Homeopathy - Medicine for the New Millennium".

You use personal anecdotes as evidence. The Select committee used evidence as evidence.
You present your supporting documentation as a book, the evidence presented to the select committee was in the form of journals and studies and the like.
So on the one hand we have science, on the other hand we have your opinion. Sorry, but wishing it were true doesn't change the fact that placebo is no better than placebo.
