Consumer Health Digest [2009-12-24 (#09-52)] has announced / relays this message:
"skeptics in the United Kingdom have announced their intention to raise public awareness that homeopathy is quackery. The campaign will launch early in 2010. People who wish to join or monitor the campaign can register on http://www.1023.org.uk/ ."
002. at that link, we're told:
"homeopathy is a pre-scientific and absurd pseudoscience. Yet it persists today as an accepted complementary medicine, largely because people don't know what it is. The 10:23 Campaign aims to show the public what homeopathy is and explain how we know it doesn't work. It will launch in early 2010.
Note: the campaign, '10 to the 23rd', has the motto "Homeopathy: There's Nothing In It". The name of the campaign seems to be an abbreviation for 'Avogadro's Number' which is often quantified as 6.022 x
1023.

Real (homeopathic) medicine cures even when Conventional Allopathic Medicine (CAM) fails
"real homeopathic". ha.
Not every physician is a homeopath physician, and not every medicine is allopathic
Actually, since "allopathy" referred to the medicine of Hahnemann's time specifically, to call conventional medicine "allopathy" is like calling modern astronomy "astrology" and modern chemistry "alchemy". False. As false as homeopathy's "like cures like" sympathetic-magical-thinking, IMO.
