I did in fact read your sources, all of which have been addressed by actual publications like the Lancet. The placebo effect has been shown to be extremely powerful, which more than accounts for any scams supposed benefits. Also, in ANY study showing homeopathic remedies efficacious nature, the sample size can be as small as two individuals, which is truly unacceptable as concrete evidence that homeopathic remedies are more effective than more well researched ones. In fact, the same Lancet meta-analysis that you lampoon so vehemently shows that the smaller the sample size, the more likely it the study was to show positive improvement in response to treatment from BOTH traditional and homeopathic remedies. However, as the sample sizes grew, "allopathic" treatments continued to demonstrate efficacy, whereas homeopathic ones shot down to match the results with the control groups.
As for it being around for hundreds of years, there are still cultures that drink the ashes of their dead because they believe it imbues them with the strength of their ancestors. Likewise we have a Flat Earth Society, so lets not use people who believe in something despite all the evidence to the contrary as an example of supposed efficacy.
