No, the evidence is unequivocal. The studies that seem to support homeopathy are generally small and poorly controlled. The better designed the study, the less likely homeopathy is able to demonstrate an effect. This is what is observed with placebo.
Advocates of homeopathy simply cherry pick the studies that seem in their favour and try to ignore or hide the rest. This is dishonest and unscientific.
