My understanding of the, I hate to dignify it with this word but stick with me here, ‘thinking’ behind homoeopathy is that dilute solutions can cure illnesses.
According to Wikipedia: the more dilute, the better. Some dilutions are so extreme there’s no longer a single molecule of the original substance.
So, logically, eventually every drop of water in the world qualifies as a very dilute solution of every potential cure. Which means, everything you drink is a homoeopathic cure.
Or am I missing something here, like leprechauns or unicorns?
And as every molecule of water has been, at sometime in it’s existence, near a molecule of faeces, we can conclude that homeopathy is full of sh!t…
It’s occurred to me that in a homoeopathic war we would drop perhaps one molecule of a bomb on the enemy with devastating results.
Ah, but you forget – you have to bang it against a horsehair sofa, or leatherbound bible inbetween dilutions. That’s the bit that makes it work. Or something. It’s quantum, y;’see.
Come on Bill, we know, because Unicorns were single horns – like rhinos, they must have existed. Unlike single molecule cures, right?
