Another good thread at Hpathy

Mmm, I reckon kppy might be yanking their chain.

Either that or she is incredibly simple. Oh ... I forgot ... this is hpathy. Carry on.
 
A couple of homeopathy manufacturers that I talked to said they dump their medical waste down the drain, too. I think the idea was that this is like an unsuccussed dilution, which means that there is no potency.

Of course, that means that if you mix your homeopathic remedy with water and drink it, you get nothing. Or drink a glass of water and then take your remedy a few minutes later.

Well at least that's cleared up.

Without succussion then things just get more dilute, with it, things get more potent.

Is there universal agreement as to what comprises succussion ? Is there a certain amount of force that needs to be applied ?
 
Don't forget to bang it on a leather-bound bible.

It seems it is more important to point that out than discuss acceleration, force, frequency or anything else we might understand as being measurable.
 
I wonder if any animal hide bound holy book will suffice. I'd hate to find out that because succussion was carried out using a camel skin bound Koran that my remedies were ineffective. What about all those subcontinental homoeopaths ? Do they import bibles especially ? How do the Hindus reconcile the leather binding with their cow worshipping practices ?
 
There's a quote somewhere in HomeoWatch where Hahnemann says that while he used to give remedies ten taps he's decided that's too much and two is enough. More than that and it might get too potent. (Don't flush, kppy, don't flush!)

This is where he got the idea about the magic sugar pills. If the remedies were transported in liquid form they might get too shook up, and so over-potent. (And you know, this is such a safe type of medicine that you never have to worry about safety testing at all, and yet a bit of shoogling around on the back of a lorry could make the stuff deadly....?) So he decreed that if the remedy was dropped on to sugar pills then allowed to dry out, that "fixes" the potency and it won't change.

Funny, when I saw some film of the nurses at the London Homoeopathic Hospital making up remedies, they were using electrically-powered vortex mixers! That's a bit more violent than any ten taps on any family bible. And who knows what all that electricity could be doing to these mystical energies!

And these guys wonder why we laugh at them....

I wonder if kjames is just a homoeopath who is thinkng a bit straighter than most, or.... say not so...! a - t-r-o-l-l?

Rolfe.
 
Now, I thought homeopathic remedies were more powerful if they were more diluted.

...
So if they are highly diluted in the sewer system without the succussions they would just become weaker. In a septic tank I think they would all be antidoted.

My train of thought has just hit a house in the middle of the tracks.

Sucussing is shaking it, right? OK, so lets say I have 30C of um, Bobiciulum. I pour it into my toilet bowl, which for arguement's sake isn't the new-fangled water saving kind. Then I flush, causing the now-diluted remedy to be shaken and stirred and mixed.

BY THE SPICEY CHIICKEN OF POPEYE, WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! WHAT. HAVE. WE. DONE....

...
This is an issue that should not be swept under the rug due to potential danger of accidently dosing the unsuspecting public.

Now we know where all those cancer clusters, ADHD, and increase in other "new" illnesses come from.

Sloppy homeopaths.

...
After discharge, it probably goes into the ocean or a major waterway.

Ooh, them dolphins is gonna be pissed at us, Joe...

Not an issue unless you have a leather-lined toilet.

I particularly love it when they describe how it'll only be a "drop in the ocean". Touché!

Of course this IS possible if you use the family bible in place of Charmin (it's soooooo expensive)

Which reminds me of a stupid off-topic anecdote about the Ceaucescu regime in Romania ... apparently they wouldn't let the Gideon's in for some reason but allowed them truck in a few lorryloads of bibles for appropriate distribution.

The game was blown when a visitor noticed the state manufactured loo-roll still had visible bits of scripture on it, as the pulping process wasn't up to much.

Bless this ass ....
