Ask Neal's Yard...

Heheh. Really, if you're an altie therapist, opening up yourself to questions from an educated audience is just asking for trouble. Neal's Yard have currently been obvious by their absence...

Does my water content become more homeopathically viable over time because it'll still remember that substance?

It won't be a homeopathic remedy because to be one, you gotta shake the water in a very specific way. The shaking is very important, and it won't work without it. Unless you've got a special electromagnetic device to do it automatically. I heard in a James Randi talk that a guy in France has demonstrated that homeopathic water produced using it is just as effective as traditionally succussed homeopathic water.

Re-read that, and marvel at the fact that it's all completely true.

I'd forgotten about how good Orcadian cheese is. Mmm.

If he thrashed about in the bath in a homeopathically acceptable way that should do it :D

Would doing the Hokey Cokey after ingesting it work?

[confuseddave]

Do you know, I have suspicion that that would be over 95% as effective as taking a homeopathic remedy.

That is truly hilarious, especially the response from a Guardian staffer - that wasn't there when I read all the questions this morning.

Anyway, as for the man in the bath, everyone knows you have to be spanked with a horsehair-stuffed leather paddle before you can be a homeopathic remedy (much like that South Park Scientology episode - 'this is what they actually believe').
