Still avoiding addressing the issue of the magic of "water has memory" of so-called homeopathy. Dilution.
I see that Andrew Weil, M.D. has earned several accolades of the warm and fuzzy type.
All that's missing is any type of substantial recognized award in the field of medicine.
So-called personal testimony and endorsement is a time honored technique of snake-oil salesmen.

Never criticize anyone until you've walked several kilometres in their shoes.
Because
1. You're now several kilometres away; and
2. You've got their shoes.

The canary didn't die because this mine is dangerous, it died because it's lazy and wasn't raised with a proper work ethic.

I see you're still lobbing baseless fuzzy wuzzy general accusations, while studiously avoiding the key specific issue: dilution - concentration in homeopathy.

So, you've told us we're predictable whilst repeating yourself and delivering your well worn Marcus on Materialism patter?
Surely a foolproof way to convince us all of the wisdom of your argument would be to dilute one of your posts with whitespace, quote it in a new post, and dilute it with more whitespace and repeat until you end up with a post containing absolutely none of your original text? The final post will "remember" what you meant, and after reading it, we'll all wander off feeling much improved, having learned all we need to about homeopathy.

Anything but addressing the specific issue at question: how does water have memory as is claimed by so-called homeopathy and contrary to all properly conducted experiments.
