I ended up on a homeopathy mailing list and decided to visit their forum. I posted the following question. It's my first so it's awaiting moderation. I suspect they will not approve...
What are the reasons, if any, that people should not refill or replicate their homeopathic remedies at home using the simple procedures listed at http://buy-once.com? I communicated with a homeopath from India about it and he did not approve, but all he could contest was that homeopathy requires a "pharmaceutical process". Not a satisfying answer, in my humble opinion.
The website has snark but the question is valid, and it has already influenced people's decision regarding homeopathy (I noticed on Reddit), so it's best to address this question, no? Thanks.

Dear Torsten Piehl from buy-once.com,
the procedure given at buy-once.com simply is wrong. If you compare this procedure with the one stipulated in the Organon of Medicine, the true reference, then you see what is wrong (almost everything). The procedure also misses remedies in globules.
The article also does not mention the different procedures in the preparation of X-, C- and Q-potencies. Maybe one should mention that water-solution of homeopathic remedies also need to contain alcohol in order to preserve the remedy (Hahnemann also suggested a piece of charcoal (activated carbon).
The process advised also changed the potency of the remedy.
Further, it should be mentioned that in the process of preparing homeopathic remedies hygiene and avoidance of pollution is a necessity to maintain the quality and efficacy of a medicine.
By the way, if homeopathy is practiced properly, such a vial will easily last for a lifetime. If one needs to take the medicine regularly, then there is something wrong with the applied method.
By the way, why do naysayers need to prove you wrong in a double-blind test? Where is yours proving that the remedy obtained is even "better than new"?
By the way, the disclaimer down your webside is really funny. I think that your advice is meant for entertainment as well ;-)
Sincerely yours,
Siegfried |
Since homeopathy is based on faux knowledge and is akin to witchcraft, my method of refilling and replicating remedies is as effective as any other placebo.
