Sorry, I leave it on to you to research.

I'll stay with my current position of "it is not paranormal, and it has no effect" until proven otherwise.Kumar said:Sorry, I leave it on to you to research.![]()
Kumar said:inspite both parts are well educated, modernly influenced, equally firm of their stands, not inocent/illitrate.
Jocce said:See...this is where your assumptions lead you down the wrong path. The homeopaths I've had the "pleasure" of debating this with so far has clearly showed that they are not well educated. They are also influenced by a 200 year old theory that long ago was debunked by modern science.
One studying arts another science, can't be taken as one educated other not. This system is accepted or not accepted by somewhat similar people but few are believers & others are skeptics. Few experiance by belief other don't experiance without lab tests. Its one's own experiance or thinking.
What do you say; whether 200 years persiting theory is more 'near to absolute' or everytime changing one? Anyway many things are added in homeopathy also except in TRS.
I agree that you're extremely firm on your stand but you really show an above average tendency to not understand what you read. And innocence...must be a bliss under those circumstances.
It can be true on both sides. Everyone can have his own experiance or 'just thinking'.

I wasn't addressing porosities or adhesions. I was addressing whether homeopathy is paranormal or not.Kumar said:This the current position not final/absolute. You left some chance of porosities/adhesions.
Kumar. It does not matter if you reuse the same equipment or not. There is always a possibility that there are molecules in the final remedy, regardless of which potency it is. Yes, there is a chance that a 15000C has some molecules of the mother tincture in it. The problem for you is that when the potency represents a larger number of preparations than Avogadro's number, the chances start getting real slim. Some bottles will definatelly not have any. One dilution beyond Avogadro, and 9 in 10 are guaranteed to have nothing. Two, and it is 99 in 100, and so on.
Btw, pls tell;
Do you still dispute on possibilities of molecular presence in triturated higher than 24X preparations, where same equipments are used during potentising process?
DrDave told you under which conditions he got chemicals to adhere to glass. He mentioned temperatures of 373K and 500K. How much heat do you think is produced by a little shaking?Are you absolute on your stand that molecular adhesion & release with glass of bottles during/by potentisation process of homeopathic remedies can't be possible inspite solution gets bit heated/vibrated & cooled(by expansion due to heat)?
This has been explored in the past. If enough people believe in something for long enough, then Kumar believes in it. Kind of puts our little efforts in perspective, huh?Jocce said:Now tell me, do you believe in all this? You should according to the criteria you evaluate stuff you hear about.
And yes, I still dispute all that stuff you mentioned.

So you see, I don't dispure the possibility of molecular presence. It's just that it is real remote for higher potencies. Particularly since in practical terms, you have to throw out most of the preparations, there is a real good chance that all your final remedies have nothing but solvent in them.
Don't base this aspect on probability. But just base on molecules adhering to pestle/mortars/grinding equipments as these can be porus & usually re-used or not replaced.
Furthur, water contains some florine. Can it react will glass silica? Or can some molecules of glass disassociated during potentisation process?

Which form of fluorine does water contain?Furthur, water contains some florine. Can it react will glass silica? Or can some molecules of glass disassociated during potentisation process?
Jocce said:Kumar, as you must know by now you should prove that homeopathy is working before starting to research explanations. And, I think that we all agree that so far, no undisputable evidence has been found in the studies that has been performed. Keyword there is undisputable, just so you know. So all you really have is lots of people witnessing about their personal experience of homeopathy.
To be consistent in your thinking you must use those same criteria when you accept or discard other things. So according to that you should accept:
1. God, allah, budda, shiva, vishnu, thor, toth and a few hundred more gods exist. Because many people say so.
2. Hermetics, qabalah, thelema, rune and chaos together with a few hundred other magical systems can be used to change reality, summon demons, spirits and make you filthy rich if you might choose so. Because many people say so.
3. There's an abundance of visiting aliens that abduct, examine and visit people here on earth. Because many people say so.
Now tell me, do you believe in all this? You should according to the criteria you evaluate stuff you hear about.
And yes, I still dispute all that stuff you mentioned.

How about you read about it and tell me? Where is water flourinated, and which form of fluor do they use?Kumar said:Sorry, I meant usually re-used, not usually replaced by new.
Fluoride. You might have read about flurodizaton of water.
The fluorine in tap water is, as you managed to correctly indicate in another thread, in fluoride form.Kumar said:Furthur, water contains some florine. Can it react will glass silica? Or can some molecules of glass disassociated during potentisation process?

Water has some fluoride.

Furthur, water contains some florine.
Why not base it on whether you can actually detect molecules from the mother tincture in the final remedy? Perhaps you could suggest a test that would do this?Kumar said:Don't base this aspect on probability. But just base on molecules adhering to pestle/mortars/grinding equipments as these can be porus & usually re-used or not replaced.
Kumar said:how can you guarantee it ,that its science/working can never be proved in science in any circumstances? I mean "absolute" conclusion with guarantee. I say it can be possible or it may not & it is pending for me to know it which, I will wait till I could know it or till it dies in itself if absolutely blank.
Donks said:How about you read about it and tell me? Where is water flourinated, and which form of fluor do they use?
Jocce said:Irrelevant! Prove that it works first. After that we can figure out why.
