How homeopathy “works”

This is compared with actual scientific dilution of active ingredients found in medicines such as pain relievers (diluted in a powdery filler), allergy shots (decreasing levels of dilution as the series so the early shots don’t kill the patient), and 5% and 10% concentrations of clotting factors for hemophilia patients. Of course, a lot of the legitimate dilution is for the patient’s safety, much like homeopathic treatments where the presence of actual active ingredients could be fatal or at least make things worse.
