A Guide to Homoeopathic Remedies

"What a wonderful thing homeopathy is. Take a bit of a plant, put it in some alcohol. Dilute it with water until there is no trace of the original left. Dilute it more. And more. And more. Call this a "remedy" and sell it to people too stupid to realise it can't help them. Tell them if their symptoms go away the remedy worked. If their symptoms didn't go away they chose the wrong remedy. You have to be a very expert homeopath to know the right remedy, you know. By the way homeopathic remedies are all safe because the original substance has become so diluted it can't possibly do you any harm.

I'm going to make my own homeopathic remedy. A bit of this, a bit of that, a bit of all the substances, diluted so much it can't possibly do you any harm and then when you take it the one that will help you will fix your symptoms. "Robert's Patent Homeopathic Potency" I'll call it. I'll set up in practice, put on a white coat and charge people for my sugar water. Well, it will be easier than working."
