Homeopathy question
I was at our local co-op today. They have lots of great things; organic fruits and veggies, free range eggs, real milk; but they also cater to the alt med crowd.
I was looking at some homeopathic remedies and wondered something. If this snake oil worked, why would you need to buy a tincture more than once? The "active" ingrediants are already diluted 25k or more times. Why not just add more water when you are down to a drop or two? According to how the adherents claim homeopathy works, as long as you preform succusion the vital energy should be transferred. Homeopathic adherents claim the more diluted the stronger. So these companies should only have to sell one bottle of tincture to each family.
Can't wait to hear adherents explain why they have to buy the commercially prepared tinctures each time.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
