My sister-in-law is something of a sceptic, and unlike me, has a science background.

I was in need of sleep prior to a flight. (I could never sleep before a flight.) She offered me homeopathic pills. I laughed. She laughed. And suggested I go for it.

One was supposed to take so many x hours before going to bed, and so many on going to bed. What the heck - harmless lumps of chalk.

I slept like a baby.

One shouldn't underrate the placebo effect, I suppose (and I suspect the little ritual involved in taking tablets so many hours before actually trying to sleep  probably helped.)

Probably not quite suited to Ebola. I suspect this might be a useful page for those tempted:
