The truly sad thing then is that "placebo" works, sometimes, even when 
the person its given to is sure it won't, as long as certain 
psychological factors, including the attitude of the person giving it, 
imply otherwise. So.. They are saying what that homeopathy works so 
poorly it doesn't even work as well as other placebo effects? lol

But seriously, the funniest thing about the whole idea is that water 
will "remember" the beneficial effects they want, apparently, but not 
all the times its been poisoned, drank, dropped out in feces, or pissed 
out of the body, all the way back to before even the mesozoic period... 
I mean, if you drained a fracking nuclear reactor and then filtered out 
the radiation, according to "their" theory it would still have the 
"effect" of being radioactive. And, they would probably even agree. But 
if you took the same water, after it ran through a uranium mine, 
presuming you waiting for any radiation to leave it first, and added it 
to "homeopathy", it somehow remembers being a cancer cure, but not a 
cancer causer... Its idiotic.
