I finally come to the conclusion that only a personal belief is able to antidote a remedy - but caution: if a practitioner is treating his client, his personal beliefs are transmitted to his client automatically and non-verbally. An example: If you are believing that coffee is antidoting the remedy, it will have the effect.

Isn't that akin to saying that homeopathy will only work if you believe that it will work?
Our vital forces seem to be fairly suggestable, especially when they are in an unbalanced state. Since a well prescribed remedy works to 'nudge' the vital force toward a certain direction, i.e. that balance that represents health, then it makes sense that something that disrupts that direction 'antidotes', or perhaps just interrupts, the well prescribed remedy. I've had remedies that seemed to have stopped their action due to various exposures, but on the good advice of my homeopath to wait for a bit, the remedy's action would pick right back up and the desired effects were achieved.
The fact that antidote doesn't seem to be the perfect word may be more a case of questionable semantics than questionable theory. Just my opinion, of course.
