"homeopathy pills don’t work better than placebo dummy pills in trials. They are made by taking one drop of the original substance and diluting it in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000 drops of water, then taking one drop of that solution, which is now just water, and shaking it near some pills, which you then buy to treat an illness."
Someone tries to commit suicide by taking a whole bottle of homeopathic sleeping tablets! Which say on the bottle "in case of an overdose, seek medical attention" or some such!!
Homeopathy works on the basis that the more you dilute the remedy the more effective it is. So obviously the above was safe because by taking the whole bottle she took MORE, therefore less effect.
But what if the bottle was placed next to another bottle and the water remembered the remedy, the sugar remembered the water, the plastic contacted the bottle, the bottle contacted the other bottle then the other bottle contaminated the pills inside?!
Perfectly safe zoplicone could put someone in a coma with that dilute a contact!!
This is true. My urine told me early on Sunday morning that I had too many beers late on Saturday night.

In similar fashion, and as you know Bill, I drink only a little acohol, and only now and again - I stood next to someone at a bar a while ago, and the next morning my urine confirmed that I'd stood next to someone who had had too many beers the night beofre.
Showoff. With your embedding and your fancy city ways.
Not to worry chris. Dropping it into a water treatment facility would only dilute it about 5c (from memory). Not enough to do any damage.
Put a drop in the pacific you'd still not reach anywhere need 40c. To make it more dilute than the "safe" levels of dilution would take more water than there is in the universe!!
I don't wish to become too distasteful here, but the excess products during lovemaking are frequently flushed down the lavatory. The water from thence is sent to a sewage plant and purified. This water then enters water system, is drawn off, again purified and distributed to houses where ladies use it for showering. Since the water 'remembers' sperm, am I responsible for impregnating countless ladies? If this is the case, can they slap a maternity suit on me?
Should I avoid being sued by quickly swallowing a bottle of homeopathic sleeping pills like Ziztur, or, as Robert has said, should I make certain of my imminent demise by taking just one (or perhaps a half mixed with a gallon of water).

Actually if I understand the principle would'nt that make all those women infertile?! Isn't it the opposite effect of the large dose with the small dose? In which case where "gentlemans relish" cases babies in large doses it should prevent them when diluted.
On the upside, by the same principle, think of all the c diff we've prevented

Makes you think!
Yeah, there's a time and place for thinking about these things, and as I'm about to eat my dinner is not one of them. All I can think about now is what else gets flushed down the toilet...
No better line to describe homeopathy, in my opinion, than this one from David Mitchell in the Homeopathic A&E sketch
" True you may have killed the odd person with cancer, malaria.............bronchitis...........even measles but when someone comes in here (the homeopathic hospital)with a vague sense of unease or even just more money than sense, you'll be there with a bottle of basically just water in one hand and a huge invoice in the other"

I still love it when I get an SCP monthly newsletter with a comment about how homeopathy can help bunions- what exactly do you have to dilute to help those!

Alcohol or class A´s so people reading that crap believe it .
Scrape some skin off the bunion, dilute it in water, shake it, dilute it in more water, shake it again, dilute it and shake it. apply that to the bunion. Guaranteed cure

What are you taking about robin? You've seen the evidence. Marigold reduces the IM angle. What's not to like. There was a double blind rct and everything.
Maybe it's because marigold flowers are orange and bunions are sort of red, which is a bit orangey...

To the histology lab! We must find some neuroma tissue at once!!
Hang on, its what CAUSES the disease isn't it. We could render down some unsuitable footwear I suppose...
Its funny when we say it. Somehow it's still massively popular in the UK in podiatry though.
Diluting some deforming moments looks like it is going to be the ultimate cure. I've heard that farming/harvesting those deforming moments are quite tricky, almost as difficult as obtaining Unobtanium

Except it doesn't. Homeopathic remedies don't contain a minute particle of anything (besides water / sugar) and often its a compound that the body doesn't make. And even if the body DID make it, it would not be a good thing.
How does homeopathy work?
