"Uh.. no... it's like showering in water. " I gather you are not familiar with homeopathic medicine. In essence it is a solution made by taking a very small amount, e.g a drop, of the toxin thought to be causing your particular ailment and diluting it many thousands of times. A drop of that extremely diluted solution is then diluted again many thousands of times and so on. If one were to calculate, you would find that the odds of finding a single molecule or atom of the toxin in a practical quantity fo the solution are quite long if not statistically impossible. You are therefore dealing with 100% water as a medicine. Homeopathic practitioners make all sorts or arm waving claims for what is happening but there is no science and no clinical data ever published to support their claims. They use terms like achieving "lower energy forms", whatever the hell that means. There is a group in England I think called the National Skeptics Association that a few years ago chose as their annual project attempting to "overdose" on homeopathic medicine. They of course concluded they could not. I found it all very amusing. So enjoy your homeopathic showers....
