Homeopathy, what a load of complete bullshit.
Homeopaths believe that water has a memory and that it remembers the active parts of stuff you put in it. Except heres the thing, they also believe that the more diluted the active ingredient is - the more effective it is.
This means that in your tiny bottle of homeopathic whatever - there is less that 1 molecule of the active ingredient in it.
Or to put it another way. 1ml of active ingredient is enough to "homeopathise" a cube of water with 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 meter sides - or about 105 light years.
