Warp is quite right, as ever. He is just trying to emulate the reasoning
behind homeopathy.
As far as I could follow the topic on wikipedia, the whole thing has quite a
lot of occultism in it. Dilution is just the physical side of preparation of
medicines, the stuff has to be "dynamized" by the ritual shaking of
waterbottles and so on.
It is as sound a concept as that of Victor Schauberger's "natural flows"
(supposedly able to create anything from free energy to anti-gravity to
healing medicine) or the theory that water has a memory. I find it
astonishing what people actually can believe in...
Apart from this all: the strangest thing is the (scientifically proven)
effect of a placebo - it is strange that it actually works. If you just
really, truely and completey believe that a thing will work it can cure you:
be it homeopathy, accupuncture (here I see at least in some cases a physical
reason that might work - the needles blocking nerves >might< have effects -
though I am sceptical), faith healing, imbibing water at Lourdes or sleeping
below a pyramid.
