“Hence homeopaths believe – they really do -that the most effective remedy is one in which there is no longer a single molecule of the active ingredient in the water. However – please bear with me – the water has “a memory” of the active ingredient, and it is this which will cure the sufferer.
As the Australian Council Against Health Fraud remarks: “Strangely, the water offered as treatment does not remember the bladders it has been stored in, or the chemicals that may have come into contact with its molecules, or the other contents of the sewers it may have been in, or the cosmic radiation which has blasted through it.” I suppose you might say that the medicinal water of the homeopath has a selective memory.”
