Does homeopathy work? It depends what you count as evidence

Article Abstract:

The two significant factors on the effects of homeopathy are discussed such as whether the benefits of homeopathy are due to the placebo effect or not, and which medical conditions get better on homeopathy and which don't. An evaluation of 220 trials divided into high quality and low quality studies revealed that the high-quality trial of conventional medicine had a significant benefit over and above placebo, while the apparent benefits of homeopathy disappeared when only the high-quality trials were included.
