Patrick, I used the word mimic because the treatment is not an exact replica of homeopathy. I have been treated many times successfully with homeopathy, and my MD is also a homeopath.

This doesn’t mimic homeopathy as peonuts do not cause reactions in otherwise healthy people. Furthermore, Homeopathy is known to be pseudoscience and has never been shown to produce results beyond a placeobo in high quality clinical trials. The medical scientists would be appaled by how their research was presented in this article.

This is more akin to vaccinations rather than Homeopathy. Vaccination use a small amount of a dead or weakened pathogen to teach our imune system how to recognize and fight that pathogen.

250 year old Homeopathy uses super dilutions of a disease or ailment causing agent, these dilutions are so extreme that not even one molecule of the disease or ailment causing agent is left in the remedy. Homeopathy states that the water molecules “remember” the disease or ailment causing agent and use this “memory” to teach the body how to fight the disease or ailment. There is some validity to this notion, with research proving that water molecules will align themselves into odd shapes when they come in contact with something. Homeopaths never cease to cite this research. What they forget to mention (either purposely or out of ignorance) is that this alignment lasts nanoseconds and certainly not the months the homeopathic “nothing more than water” remedy is sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought at an exorbitant price. Not to mention that the water molecules are most likely reacting to the vial they are contained in and aligning themselves into odd shapes because they come in contact with glass.

There’s a good reason homeopathy is still an “alternative” treatment after 250 years, it simply doesn’t work as well as science based medicine. Granted it is safer! Can’t expect much adverse reactions from plain water.
