Yes, it probably requires a little fine-tuning, but I think it would work.

It's quite a simple trial and there is no reason why it, or something like it, could not be done. All it requires, in addition to what normally happens anyway, is the mediator making up a placebo, randomly selecting between the remedy amd placebo, and packaging it in a stgandard container.

If it was clear that the Mediator was truely independent and had no contact at any time with the homoeopathic pharmacist, practitioner, or patient, everyone would have to accept the result. Anyone who does not accept the result would have to show why.

There are some provisos, though, that are part of any trial:
- there must be a minimum of 50 patients in each group.
- the result must be replicated.
This is to rule out a chance result.
