ask the rich homeopathic CEO's why they fund no comprehensive scientific studies

This made me laugh. Name one rich homeopathic pharmacy owner! The ones I know aren't terribly well off and they are a one-shop business.

For example. (A 30X dilution means that the original substance has been diluted
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times!) this is so minute and microscopic it's like saying if you put a red drop of water in a mass of
water 50,000 times the size of the earth, that all that mass of water will turn red.

The link that you gave is from one of the sites of these so-called "scientists". They rarely give their qualifications in assessing the science they review and even then, what determines what they say is "truth" and what we say is not?
If homeopathy was placebo, please ask your husband to explain why it works on animals and babies, who have no idea of the concept?
There are plenty of resources on the net where you can find evidence that homeopathy works. According to the scientists, remember, the earth was flat for a very long time! According to them, the sun revolved around the earth! According to them protons, electrons and neutrons were the smallest particles of matter.
Why do you need "science" to verify it, though? Once you work with babies and animals you tend not to worry about the scientific world. The proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

Royal London Homeopathy Hospital's comment on homeopathic vaccination...
"the position of the Faculty of Homeopathy at the Royal London Homeopoathy Hospital on immunisation is very simple and encapsulated well in the
following statement by it's president Dr DS Spence: "When there is no medical contradication, immunisation should be carried out in the normal
way using conventional tested and approved vaccines".

As for the RLHH, they are doctors first and, as such, have to tow the BMA line, i.e. that vaccination is safe. Otherwise, they, like Andrew Wakefield and several others before them, find themselves ostracised and/or worse.
As for the rest, I'll leave it to the others at this board who have far more qualifications in various fields than I do.
