    Instead of going to homeopaths for advice, why don’t we grind up homeopaths and dilute them with water a couple dozen times? That’s how it works, right?

      This is a brilliant idea - not just because it solves the problem of too many homeopaths but because of the way homeopathy ‘works’.

      Homeopathy is the idea that “like treats like” (the homeo is latin for “the same”). So typically the homeopath looks at the symptoms of the disease, finds some poison that causes the same symptoms, then dilutes the hell out of it.

      In this case, what are the symptoms that homeopathy causes? Dumbness. So the ground up homeopath pills would be ideal for treating homeopath users and practitioners. And the Gwyneth Paltrow crowd. So many birds with one stone!

        They’re so dilluted that you can take Homeopathy pills all day and not overdose… Allegedly, that’s what I’ve heard, please don’t test this… Even if they do nothing, ingesting too much of anything can be bad.
