    No doubt about it homeopathy is horse shit.
    It is completely understood by science and it is horse shit.
    No pros, no cons, no limitations, just bogus horse shit.
    Huh?

    Not necessary, all who are experiancing it positively, accept your assessment. Moreover science is not yet absolute and final and claimed to be never it will be.

    If we put one small stone in water and go on with homeopathic type of dilutions, it can be continued much more than the mole number consideration. Not so?

    Here's the deal, if you want to believe in some voodoo crap like homeopathy that is your business, but don't expect us to join in.

    You are quite right. On a doubing or skeptic mentality we can doubt anything which is not absolute & final. Many healing agents still fail or found quite odd in field/practical applications inspite backed by prolonged and strict scientific studies

    I think this can be argued out in-thread as to whether or not there is any scientific basis for any of this

    OK, it is very, very simple.

    1) Homeopathy contends that the more you dilute a substance, the greater its medicinal effect.

    2)It is plain - even to homeopaths - that it is absurd to maintain that fewer molecules have more effect than more of them. For this reason, a variety of notions, such as the solvent - or the container - having a "memory" of the substance have been grasped at.

    3) There is no evidence for any of these, nor is any plausible mechanism put forward as to what such a "memory" might consist of, or how it might create a medicinal effect.

    4) We do know, however, that there are a lot of gullible, desperate or foolish people in the world, who would, for various reasons of their own, jump at the chance homeopathy might work.

    And that is how this practice of charlatans and fools continues to survive, even today.

    Unless he is extracting something from the surface and then he wants to concentrate it afterward and use the concentrated product as new medicine.

    That is not what homeopathy does.

    In the discussion of whether or not homeopathy works, the pro-homeopathy faction has finally played the 'goverment conspiracy card'.

    So, I think we have run the course on this.
