In a way this reminds me of the time I went into a gas station and saw the clerk and a customer looking at a pack of Nat Sherman cigarettes. The clerk pointed to the label that said "NO ADDITIVES." "See," the clerk said, "it says "NOT ADDICTIVE."

"Ohhh," said the customer.

Ages ago I did a summer job in a gas station and remember wondering why Wilson cigarettes were making such a big deal in their advertising about having "NO ADDITIVES," and that makes at least as much sense as my original idea that they were playing to the organic crowd.

What I don't understand is why water has the memory of long since diluted out of existence medicine but does not contain the memory of duck poo poo from the dam.

Because I'm pretty sure theres a lot of duck poo poo in fresh water.

Leave it to you to think of duck poo poo.

Marginally more seriously, it's because of the magical shaking process that "aligned" the molecules prior to dilution, if I remember (one of) the bullshit explanation correctly.

Chiropractic 'medicine' started off as a sham field , it was never hijacked.

Didn't the inventor basically hijack his ideas from osteopathy, and claim he'd been given them by an angel or something?
