Scientific evidence for homeopathy?

@drnancymalik, the homeopathic spambot, has started posting links to her Knol article "Scientific Research in Homeopathy: Triple Blind studies, Double-Blind Randomised Placebo-Controlled Trial, Systematic Reviews & Meta Analysis, Evidence-base". The article purports to list "130+ studies in support of homeopathy medicine published in 51 peer-reviewed international journals out of which 45+ are FULL TEXT which can be downloaded".
Dr. David Briggs ( @xtaldave ) has taken the time to examine and successfully dismiss the bulk of these. In summary;
"First thing to note is that she reckons there are 130+ studies… just under 100 by my reckoning, but then I didn’t count the 59 instances of multiple posting of the same paper, or indeed the many websites, news articles and blog posts which are not peer-reviewed."
