Technically, the stuff in the "remedy" isn't something that cures you, but 
something that makes you sick in the same way.  It's closer to a vaccine 
than a cure.  The homeopathic remedy for poison ivy is something that makes 
you itch, well-diluted.

Altho when you start getting into the actual numbers like 30C, you find out 
that it's literally impossible to create such a dilution. It would take more 
than all the oceans in the world to dilute something that much, so you'd 
have to go back to the water you'd already thrown out and re-use it in the 
dilution process.
