==Professor Ennis/the BBC's Horizon Homeopathy Test/and 20/20's Homeopathy Experiment== |

Greetings. I just got a chance to read your posting from March 2007 at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Water_memory#Ennis_email_incorrectly_attributed]. You provided an excellent summary of Professor Ennis' and my concerns about the BBC's and ABC's "junk tv science." To clarify, Ennis assumed (incorrectly) that the Horizon experiment was a replication of her study, until I obtained the protocol from the experimenter, Wayne Turnbull. I have now posted the protocol that he used [http://www.homeopathic.com/articles/view,130]. I discovered this serious problem just before the 20/20 program was going to begin their study. This information shocked the 20/20 producer, but typical of tv, he decided that the "show must go on." Unlike the BBC that specifically stated that their test was a "repeat" of Ennis' work, the 20/20 show didn't make that claim (wisely). They instead asserted that "their" experts said that the study was well-designed and well-controlled, though they didn't mention that none of their experts had any experience with basophil research, let alone homeopathic research (whoops). Therefore, junk science became junk journalism. If you have any more thoughts here, let's talk.

Professor Ennis/the BBC's Horizon Homeopathy Test/and 20/20's Homeopathy Experiment
Greetings. I just got a chance to read your posting from March 2007 at [1]. You provided an excellent summary of Professor Ennis' and my concerns about the BBC's and ABC's "junk tv science." To clarify, Ennis assumed (incorrectly) that the Horizon experiment was a replication of her study, until I obtained the protocol from the experimenter, Wayne Turnbull. I have now posted the protocol that he used [2]. I discovered this serious problem just before the 20/20 program was going to begin their study. This information shocked the 20/20 producer, but typical of tv, he decided that the "show must go on." Unlike the BBC that specifically stated that their test was a "repeat" of Ennis' work, the 20/20 show didn't make that claim (wisely). They instead asserted that "their" experts said that the study was well-designed and well-controlled, though they didn't mention that none of their experts had any experience with basophil research, let alone homeopathic research (whoops). Therefore, junk science became junk journalism. If you have any more thoughts here, let's talk. Dana Ullman Talk 03:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
