I don't suppose you happen to know why homeopathy went out of style in the
first place?
I do. We discovered the atom. This was a death blow to the respectability
of homeopathic medicine, because it means that matter is not infinitely
divisible. The "best" homeopathic remedies are such extreme dilutions that
in most cases they do not contain even a single atom of the original
substance.
Since this means that you are simply drinking ordinary distilled water,
arguing about supposed effects becomes a bit silly. What is supposed to be
causing an effect - sympathetic magic?
