What is the purpose of taking core science course for the first two years only to seemingly forget the scientific foundation when studying homeopathy. I do not understand how a remedy can possibly work if not one molecule of the original substance remains. \"The more the substance is succussed and diluted, the greater the therapeutic effect while simultaneously nullifying the toxic effect\" (The Science of Homeopathy, G. Vithoulkas). What part of the original substance is then biochemically acting on the individual? I know that this question is often answered with \"the spirit-like essence of the substance.\" Under scientific laws what does this exactly mean?

I\'m also struggling to see the scientific basis for magnetic therapy. If a little magnet is supposed to act on an individual, then what is happening to a chemist\'s body when he/she works with supperconducting magnets all day? How can blood respond to magnetic forces? I would especially appreciate responses from ND. Thanks. K
