Homeopathy

It's very difficult to believe in a therapy where any active ingredients are measured at atomic levels - not even 1 part per million etc.
However, lots of people are adamant that it can work and there's even an NHS funded Homeopathic Hospital - supported by HRH Charles, of course!
I'm interested in this stunt by some anti-homeopathy campaigners, where they are going to stage a 'mass overdose' - eating whole pots of homeopathic pills.
Any experiences?

Re: Homeopathy

Homoeopathy is the one thing I would be sceptical about tbh.

I think there is value and benefit in herbs and plants when taken in enough quantity, but diluting so much and putting in a potion? Nah!

Re: Homeopathy

I'm afraid I don't have any faith in Homeopathy as a credible form of treatment .

At best it has a placebo effect, at wost it is a total waste of money which would be better spent on some fresh fruit to boost the immune system.
