I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but the peer-reviewed literature actually does support some beneficial effect of homeopathic remedies for some very specific conditions.
Simply go to pubmed and type in homeopathy and you'll find the first few results showing meta-analyses of the available literature (which is actually quite a lot of studies) and you'll find evidence for the effect being more than just placebo.
I think unfortunately homeopathy has been demonized because I'm sure there is plenty of snake oil being sold as homeopathic remedies, but this has led to people dismissing it entirely. I guess the biggest reason people dismiss homeopathy is we don't have an understandable mechanism for its effect, but it does seem that there is indeed an effect greater than just a placebo. People can dismiss the science, but that doesn't seem very rational to me.
