How does homeopathy work?

Dilute a remedy 1 in 100, shake it, and repeat thirty times. Count the molecules with Avogadro's number, watch them run out at 12C, find out why 30C would need 10¹⁵ oceans to hold one, then run a fair test against a dummy pill.

1. A doctor who wanted gentler medicine: Samuel Hahnemann, a dose of cinchona bark in 1790, the Organon of 1810, and how homeopathy grew in India.
2. Like cures like, as homeopathy describes it: Similars, provings, the whole-person consultation, one remedy at a time, and the smallest dose.
3. Potentisation: dilute, shake, repeat: A real dilution calculator. Watch the molecules run out, and see how much water you would need to find just one.
4. From plant to sugar pill: Mother tinctures, grinding with milk sugar, medicated globules, and the repertory a homeopath uses to choose.
5. What fair tests show: A trial simulator, why people feel better anyway, what the big reviews found, and safety.
6. Using homeopathy wisely: Keep taking prescribed medicine, see a doctor for serious illness, keep vaccines up to date, and why people value it.
