There's been quite a lot of media coverage this last few weeks around homeopathy . Homeopathy is an alternative treatment based on the assumption that the less there is of something, the more powerful it is. Let me explain. Let's say you have a problem with sneezing. You sneeze and sneeze, and you just can't shift it. So the homeopathic treatment would go along the lines of saying, "well, what causes sneezing? pepper!" You they's take a teaspoon of pepper and add it to a litre of water. They'd then shake the bottle, and take a teaspoon of the mixture. This teaspoon would be added to another litre of water. This would also be mixed up, and a teaspoon taken. This process would be repeated. The homeopath would claim that each dilution makes the potion stronger! The final potion (mostly water with a little sugar or flavour to make it taste "mediciny") in then prescribed to the patient. Yes really. Some treatments go though dozens of
Food, music, science and whatever else.
