| This week marks the 255th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the creator of the alternative medicine practice called homeopathy, and like the WHAO, I’m eager to do my small part to help make more people aware of homeopathy. Now, I am fully aware that my blog is not one of the most well-known and that I get only a few thousand visitors each month, but I also understand that is exactly why this blog post packs such a homeopathic punch. You see, with homeopathy, dilution is the key to power. Wikipedia nicely sums up how it works... Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution with shaking by forceful striking, which homeopaths term "succussion," after each dilution under the assumption that this increases the effect of the treatment. Homeopaths call this process "potentization". Dilution often continues until none of the original substance remains. So, by diluting my blog visitors into the hundreds of millions of people that read blogs every day, the potentization of this very blog post is enormous. Of course, there are other very good blogs and web sites out there raising homeopathy awareness, but unfortunately their much higher visitor traffic means a much lower potentization and therefore, I’m afraid, reduced effectiveness. Still, despite lower potentization, I strongly encourage you to visit these very excellent homeopathy awareness resources: |
