Re: You think that's bad...
Homeopathics were grandfathered in!
Ugh! That needs to get fixed......
Oh, and Percy's description left out whacking the dilution bottle on a leather pad. Surely that makes all....no, I guarantee it makes no damn difference at all.

I think one of the very goofiest things about homeopathy has to do with water. Let's say, just for giggles, that practitioners of the "art" use only the very purest water they can find to make up their "medicine." Maybe Fluka stock #39253, "water for LC/MS". The stuff that's $28.80 per liter. From http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/...rch/ProductDetail/FLUKA/39253
That water is guranteed to contain less that one part per million non-volatile impurities. It's really pure water. So our homeopath wants to only use it, because it won't interfere with his nostrum's active ingredient, which is there at one part per trillion, maximum, in a "6C" formula. The "medicine" is there, in other words, at a millionth of the concentration of the normal other-than-water components of the purest freakin' water you can buy!!
And what are the odds that these bozos use water from anywhere other than the kitchen sink?

"The wretched world lies now under the tyranny of foolishness; things are believed by Christians of such absurdity as no one ever could aforetime induce the heathen to believe." - Agobard of Lyons, ca. 830 AD

Re: Expensive Water
Perhaps the purity of the water is one of the determinate factors as to which products work and which don't.
So water from the septic tank would make the best homeopathic cures? Or ultrapure water would?
And I already know which homeopathic products work. An exceedingly short list of them. none.
