    Hmm, I always assume homeopathy was just alternative and generally dubious treatment, but I looked it up and I’m enlightened that it’s administration of substances to mimic symptoms in an effort to elicit a response. Color me surprised.

      that’s a weird summary, the notable part of homeopathy is the fucking bonkers idea that diluting stuff can somehow make it more effective, despite literally not having a single molecule of the active compound.
