Actually ,experimental medicine is several thousand years old. The Egyptians, Greeks (Hippocrates) and Romans ( via another Greek,Galen) also used trial and error. -as indeed did that strange man ,Michel De Nostradame,to fight the plague in 1545.


The basis of homeopathy ,mimicking symptoms, is thousands of years old, being based on "the Doctrine Of Signatures ", common in traditional herbalism.The idea of water retaining memory may have been whatshisnames but it's magical thinking.
