According to Wired, homeopathy works on the 'law of infinitesimals': the more diluted a dose gets, the more potent it becomes.
A drug is diluted. Shaken. Diluted again. And again. And again. Until their is less than one molecule of the original in the dose. And this then put into a sugar pellet; makes it easier to swallow I guess. Scientists argue that this conflicts with the accepted laws of chemistry that state a substance becomes untraceable if diluted beyond Avogadro's number.... and I'd tend to agree, but homeopaths counter with research that the actual structure of water is altered in the dilution process. Somehow the drug has disappeared into the water, and infected it...
Mysterious. A disappearing. And a renewed potency.
Homeopathic Church anyone?
