This, given that any homeopath will say that the frequency of prescribing the same remedy even for people with different sort of complaints is not quite high to say the least - this is something that is being dismissed as far as I was able to ready any discussions, - is something it would be very difficult to do without support from a large number of homeopaths, maybe, or in any case, something rather difficult to deal with.
Do you mean that it is impossible to test homoeopathy using a DBRCT because, for such a trial, you would need to obtain a LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE all with THE SAME DISEASE and all being given THE SAME REMEDY and this is not how homoeopathy works?

If so, I have a trial which would be suitable if I have understood you correctly and if you are interested.
