| | Re: Homeopathy also proves the existence of multiple universes... | Quote: | |  | | | See, we don't just heal people, we're cosmologists too.  "A popular homeopathic treatment for flu is a 200C (10^-400) dilution of duck liver (Oscillococcinum). As there are only about 10^80 atoms in the entire observable universe, a mere 40C dilution of this would be approximately one molecule in this observable universe. Oscillococcinum thus requires 10^320 more universes to simply have one molecule in the final substance." So there's a lot more out there than people think  | | | | | Something is going wrong here.
As I only need two hundred liters of water, with the 200th liter containing the remedy, and any one of the 200 liters containing all or some of the original substance, then observably, it is right in front of me. Where do you get those massive figures from WJ ?

It's not an enclosed system as you're removing 99/100 parts of each dlution series.

That's just plain silly. The remedy doesn't have to contain a single molecule of duck liver to be a remedy.

The cup of tea on my desk has no duck liver in it - therefore it's a homeopathic flu remedy?

So why bother with the duck liver in the first place? If you did get a bit of duck liver in your final remedy, exactly which bit would it be? You could have all sorts of bits of duck liver all over the place, even if, say, found all the bottles of duck liver remedy that contained a molecule of the original duck liver. All the molecules would be different chemicals!!

Also, how do you know if or if not they are having an affect on you. Also, if they are present in the water, they are already diluted, and will get further diluted with the process, so they are not the same dilution as the original duck liver nor will they be present in Homeopathic dilutions , which are quite exact, not being 30c + 0.37 dog poo.
What are the symptoms of taking too much dog poo and QV spit ?
If they could be succussed and diluted, then a homeopathic remedy of the same would cure the symptoms.

These may be similar to certain flu symptoms. I myself do not intend on 'proving' the remedy. But feel free to.

Molecular memory.
You spin me right round right round... | | | | | So molecular memory works and remembers more complex structures like whatever the duckliver was? Comprised as it is of many many different molecules. It's not like there's a duck liver element.
Are you sure they don't just put drugs in the water that make you vulnerable to suggestion?
Honestly, it's legalised fraud.

| | Re: Strike 1 for the anti-homeopathicists
All the water present in the universe has been in existance since shortly after the big bang. Statistically then, based on "water memory" they would have come into contact with virtually every substance in the known universe, so all water present would hold identical "memories". So all homeopathic "remedies" are identical. Which beggars the question, how can they then be used to treat different ailments, if, as they claim, there is nothing in them?
