Nice. I may have to show that in my classes (oh, wait, I’m sure my bosses would veto that as “political”).

“Big Pharma” has nothing on “Big Sugar Pill.” What a racket — cheap to produce, no litigation risk (how can a product with no active ingredient be defective?). It’s a license to print money, except you don’t even need a license.

Errr. Hahnemann DIDN’T push the ‘water memory’ idea. He had no idea that dilution couldn’t be extended indefinitely. ‘Water memory’ is a post-hoc rationalization the homeopaths came up with when the facts of chemistry made their theories untenable.
I think the current ‘water memory’ claim goes back to Benveniste’s fake experiments in the ’70s.

Yeah, I had the same thought, John, that my recollection was the water memory was more recent apologetics.
If they must sell this garbage, they should put it in the religious section.
