I'm trying to understand how Homeopathy works, but what for the life of me I do not understand is why the Homeopathy Manufacturers choose to use sugar pills as the delivery method for remedies.

It just seems to me to give a lot of ammunition to anyone who wants to scream "Placebo Effect!" at the Industry.

Why can't the remedies be delivered in liquid forms with dropper bottles? Does any manufacturer do this? Should I do this!?

TIA.

Yeah, do it, and I'll join you. Homeopathy is a $200 million a year industry in the United States alone...we'll make a fortune!!

Let me know!

It is cheaper to put drops of the medicating potency onto sugar pills. You can get liquid potencies but they are expensive!!

Another phenomena associated with the Placebo effect is that it statistically is not a cure but a palliation of symptoms. The proper homeopathic remedy cures. The incorrect remedy produces symptoms never before experienced.

As far as the combination, dilution of "forces" in the ocean...well isn't that where life originated?? What is life but vibrational energy trapped in certain predictable patterns...We are all sugar coated pills, more or less, n'est pas

Thanks, Ricky-

I think I would *feel* a lot better about taking my remedy if it wasn't administered on a sugar pill, therefore if you have a phone number or URL for a distributor of liquid remedies I would really appreciate it. Thanks very much!

Here's an address for Homeopathic remedies in the Us. They are quite quick and very reasonably priced. http://www.homeopathyovernight.com/homeopathy.html
Personally I prefer the sugar pills. I have used the liquid but it is so inconvenient.

Oh yee of little faith

Animals respond brilliantly to Homeopathy

You do not think they are stupid enough to think Placebo effect

In the UK you can the liquid potencies from Helios.Their adress is on this site somewhere!

So much complication for a simple answer.
Why is a sweet base chosen? Criminy, you have to take the remedy under the tongue and SWEET just TASTES BETTER!!!
And they are NOT "sugar pills". I am not aware of anyone who is really understanding of homeopathy who calls them 'sugar pills'.
Pellets, globules, pills ....yes.
Your disbelief is in the calling of it 'sugar pills' .....nothing else.

You are striving to understand homeopathy? BEFORE I even heard of homeopathy....
I read a book on Quantum physics like has been suggested to you. Also a book By Depak Chopra called Quantum Healing. Whether or not you agree with all it has to say, you would fine that it suffices well to say, we are more, MUCh more than the sum of some peices and parts. We are not machines, WE ARE energy.

I like it, Mselle. Being a lady,miss,broad..etc..has some limitations...but a sugar coated pill; thats deep...vraiment.
