I dont mean for this to sound the way this is gona sound but here goes...
Why wouldn't tap water be a homeopathic remedy? We poop in the toilet, it gets flushed and remnents remain in the water.. its deluded alot, over and over every time we flush, small traces have been gong threw this same process for years, so wouldn it be like a 9000000c potency for urine, toilet paper and the brown stuff? not to mention whatever else gets flushed down there... I'm sure someone out there has a reasonable explanation. hope i didnt insult anyone.

Hi HI - It is not just the dilluting that makes a remedy homeopathic but the succussing process. this succussing is not the same as stirring or shaking but a hard pounding that makes the remedy homeopathic.

I personally think that HI has way too much time on his hands (check his "occupation" in his profile) as well as some kind of fixation on excrement.

I think that is pretty darned funny - it made me laugh, Tomi!
Gosh, anyone who is honest enough to put that in their profile MUST have a sense of humour. Can't fault that, lol.

But if he has a fixation on excrement - well, we could wonder what kinda rubric would fit .

HI - in reference to your question. Interesting thought - maybe you do have too much time on your hands :razz: ? But, then it is an interesting thought. Wonder if we succussed good old tap water - what we'd come up with?

In the process of becoming tap water the now cleaned waste water is subjected to chlorine. This happens automatically, the more bugs that are detected the more chlorine is added. Chlorine would act as an antidote to any homeopathic remedy when it is added initially. That is my idea of what may happen but I stand to be corrected !!

Hi Lisa, Try Murphy's MM page 448 Chlorum Aqua !
Claudia

Thanks Claudia...I figured (after posting) that someone would come back and tell me that this is already a remedy! :razz:

Don't have Murphy - kinda waitin til later to get his Rep ....at least until I've grasped how to rep in Kent, Boericke, etc... Too tempting to look up disease-names...and don't want to fall into that habit .

PS..Course you were talking about the MM - and I was thinking 'rep'...nevermind, lol - brain-fag

There are many many substances in tap water, which have been subject to endless sucussion. The energy of it is all mixed up, and it will have its own effect on the organism that drinks it. In my opinion the energy of the local water supply will affect the character of the local population and is a possible explanation as to why we all feel so different about life when we go on holiday.
Homoeopaths of yore and modern day have recognised the potency of mineral waters which have marked characteristics from specific minerals dissolved therein. Sanicula is a famous example - spring water remedies are types of "combination remedies", but ones whose picture has been taken as a whole by means of proving - so thay lack the uncertainty of the combination remedies manufactured by unscrupulous pharmacies who put several remedies into one pill.

Homoepathic remedies are different from tap water because of the PURITY of their composition. A single substance has been isolated and prepared with alcohol and water as pure as are available. The proving of that substance gives its signature which can be medicinally applied.

Combination remedies are nearer to the tap water effect, with energies cancelling one another out and each adapting the overall effect.

Hahnemann told us not to drink mineral water - and in this age of chlorinated and otherwise polluted tap water it is advisable to get a water purifying system - as many homoeopaths do.

Didn't someone devise or suggest a means of potentisation based on pressurisation and dilution. Korsakov (sic?)? Of course in some of the UK its not just chlorine we have to contemplate but potentised fluoride too! (not to mention copper, lead etc etc) Maybe proving a bit of good old s**t is the least of our worries?
