Of the homeopathic remedies that work (let's say, for example, some "6x" dilution that's formulated to treat symptoms of dermatitis), that means there's something in the remedy that's effective. Further dilution won't make it stronger. Higher concentrations will. But what IS the active ingredient that's working?
I view homeopathy like folk medicine. There are things that work. There are tons of folk remedies and alternative medicine that DOESN'T work. Those homeopathic, alternative, eastern, and folk medicines that are identified, isolated, purified and prove efficacious in repeated, double-blind clinical studies and human trials? That's modern medicine. THAT'S not necessarily bad. Or good. It just "is".
Use what's good for you and what works. Avoid the bullshit - there's lots of it and as George Carlin said "it's bad for ya".
