So lets get this straight, if i apply homeopathic principles to my bottle of Whiskey, then i can make it super alcoholic (in effect), whilst at the same time make it last virtually for ever. Boy are the breweries gonna be peeved with me when i make my fortune.

The only sour note is that practical experience obtained whilst purchasing drinks from nightclubs seems to contradict the homeopathic theory.
Still 200 years of homeopathy can't be wrong, the alcohols on me!

Unfortunetly by the same principles if you are slightly drunk before you start drinking it will sober you up.
 
Good idea. An eye dropper should do you.

Anyone want to go in on a 100Xth worth of a bottle of a very expensive single malt? The cost should be minimal, but I might need a few thousand people to divide it with so much of it available.
 
Nope, you're forgetting the "like cures like" principle. Homepatic Alcohol should cure hangovers. :D
 
No he is doing a proving. The other problem would be that if say you had one drink at 30C and one at 10M they might antidote each other (don't ask).
 
Another fly in the ointment is that homeopathic "remedies" all contain alcohol - the tinctures contain 50-70% alcohol, the tablets, pills and granules are made by spraying alcohol tinctures onto blank forms. The assumption is alcohol, like water and lactose, cannot be a "remedy".
 
Well, of course it works. You are just misunderstanding the principles. Remember, "like cures like." Now, what does alcohol cause? Headaches. Therefore, a homeopathic preparation should cure headaches.

And, lo and behold, go out drinking at a bar that serves watered down drinks, and the next morning, no headache!!!!

QED :D

This is (part of) what Geni is talking about.

A proving, then what?

Maybe it was as well not to ask. :D

Wrong roger, the condition it will cure is sobriety !

( i think, im not too sure i really understand the theory behind it all, but that doesn't seem to stop most people)

Seems to me Ed had much the same idea in a thread he started a few weeks ago. Ultimate sniff test for homeopathy. So he may claim prior rights.

That would be the ones which are sold as lactose, yes? You know, the way they wet the lactose pills (uh, sorry, "medicate") with the magic water then let it evaporate? And still try to make "memory of water" fly as a mechanism of action? Mmmm, they've been doing that for a bit long for you to claim the rights, I suspect.

But actually, BTox has just put the total crimp in the whole idea. Alcohol is one of their standard diluents. In fact, I gather that some regulations about how much alcohol can be in an OTC remedy had to be waived to allow the homoeopaths to sell their tinctures. I've even heard it suggested that in some of the preparations there's enough alcohol to produce an actual effect - anybody know if this is true? And then we have King Bio, who make a virtue out of producing alcohol-free homoeopathic remedies, and proudly advertise that they are selling pure water....

You couldn't make it up.

Does anybody know why alcohol, of all biologically-active substances, is exempted from being prepared homoeopathically? I mean, you could do it, if you used water alone as the diluent. I wonder what they'd say?

I was just thinking of an empty bottle with the label "Dehydrated Homeopathic Medicine" on it.

Oh well. I probably should have guessed that they would already be selling dehydrated homeopathic medicine.
 
Like sesame seeds i'm on a roll!!

OK now, the more you dilute it, the more powerful it becomes, you can even get ill effects from some homeopathic remedies, apparently. SOOO what if you get a really powerful "remedy" and dilute it loads more. Lethal. Could you get it soooo powerful that one drop could kill? I'm talking mega dilutions here folks. Maybe you could get arrested for having it! But then the police couldn't detect it. Brilliant. The ultimate assassination weapon. Imagine what you could do with a vial of the stuff. NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) move over homeopathy is the new WMD!
 
Darn it, i went and asked the opinions of the experts at hpathy. Unfortunatly all i seem to do is annoy them, so i doubt i'll get any reasonable answers.

All you seemed to do was demonstrate that they couldn't even recognise a clear statement of the symptoms of meningitis, laid out so clearly that I'd have said the main danger was that they'd realise they were being scammed.

Hilarious.

Alcohol doesn't cause headaches, dehydration causes headaches. So to cure a headache, you need a homeopathic solution of no water. That's not the same thing as an arbitrary dehydrated solution.

Oooh, we're slow, chaps!

Precisely three minutes after starting this thread, Prester John asked the same question at H'pathy Forums.

Such fun. All these evasions. All that superiority. All that escape from reality.

:dl:

I saw mention of Alcoholus in that thread, but I have been unable to find anything about it on the web, except for mention of Paul Herscu's 2002 book, Provings Volume I. What is homeopathic Alcoholus and what is it supposed to be a remedy for and who sells it?
 
If i ever get a straight answer i'll tell you! They haven't liked me at Hpathy since i pointed out to "dr"Leela that Haemophilus influenzae is not a virus(!!!!!!), and does not produce the symptoms of "flu"
