With a near infinite list of ailments in this world, there should be, conversely, a near infinite list of homeopathic preparations to "cure" them.

Be creative.

-Schizophrenia: dilution of LSD and PCP.

-Overactive Bladder: dilution of caffeine (Caution: may cause drowsiness!)

-Dehydration: dilution of table salt. If taken with water, I can see this preparation working. Proof of homeopathy's miracle effects, no doubt!

ETA: That Lysol sanitizing spray claims to kill 99.9% of bacteria/pathogens. Does that mean that unwitting consumers are actually causing armies of super-mega-homeopathic-bacterium to inhabit every surface in their kitchens and bathrooms??

This raises an interesting point, I think. Believers will quickly say that the magic doesn't happen without proper succussation, but that that can't happen by accident (like in the normal sloshing around of water in oceans, lakes, rivers, reservoirs or Evian bottles). So what exactly does succussation do that normal shaking or agitating of water doesn't do?

Get zinged by a leather bound bible of course! I'm curious, does anyone know what edition was used originally? Like a King James bible or what?

This has always worried me slightly too.

Destroyed knee: dilution of Astroturf
Suicide: dilution of a combination of rope, cyanide, lead and the Aurora Bridge.
 
When I read that title the first thing that sprung to mind was: "Turn on the tap."

"I have some powdered water but I don't know what to add to it." Steven Wright.

Christianity: dilution of bible (any version will do).

Actually this is a major problem with real anti-bacteria disinfectants. They kill all the germs that easy to kill and leaves the germs that are hard to kill behind to breed without competition.

This is why you should keep changing your cleaning agents. Then any germs that laugh at one will be removed by another.

Not really a major problem. As far as I know there hasn't been a single case of bacteria, or anything else, evolving resistance to bleach, or any other common cleaners. It's theoretically possible, and is cited as a reason for not inpregnating clothes and furniture with disinfectants, but it's really not something to worry about. In any case, most cleaners use the same small range of disinfectants, so changing the cleaner you use may not have any effect at all.
 
I have already put this in humour but...
Water retention -dilution of water.

Ah--that'd be a homeopathic biological weapon! :)

I was thinking of nerve gas made out of diluted plain air.

But what do you dilute it with? If the resulting gas only contains 1 molecule or less of O2, it would be deadly if it displaced regular air. If it didn't displace regular air, then you will have lost the homeopathic dilution--the diluted water problem.

Or maybe you'd dilute a gas that causes opposite symptoms to those caused by Sarin or whatever. I don't know what that would be.

ETA: It's the same issue as was raised on another thread recently about how to make a homeopathic poison.

I was thinking that my chemical biological weapon could be put in the enemies water supply or thrown in water balloons.

And unlike most of these weapons, the homeopathic versions are completely safe to work with. You don't need to wear haz-mat suits or breathe through HEPA filters or any of that.
 
No you put it in your own water supplies. That will instantly kill off everyone who does not drink your water supplies. You lot must have missed the class on homoeopathic medicine. It is strongest when it is not taken at all.
