Randomised trials

A simple explanation about the need for randomized trials in testing medicine, critical of the exemption homeopathic medicine seems to expect from this. Also, how some homeopaths have reacted to criticism.

Has mainstream Western society lost a belief in the objective to try and gain back the romantic?

(PS. This is not say that "big pharma" are not capable of running their own scams, but that fairly conducted randomized trials are the way to test medicinal claims, regardless of who is making the claims.)
