A perfect case for Homeopathy

We recently had a Homeopathy Awareness Week and I had a discussion with a demonstrator outside our local food co-op. I have little truck with pseudoscience and I consider it amoral and criminal that these asshats will hold out the hope of a cure when their treatments show no difference from a placebo. People have a right to choose their own medical care but they should not be deceived. That being said, there is now a huge quantity of an amazing Homeopathic remedy available in Portland Oregon. Unfortunately, it is being destroyed. Imagine drinking a nice warm glass of someone elses urine. Makes you feel sick to your stomach and a bit nauseous. From Reuters:
Portland, Oregon flushes water reservoir after man urinates in it
Portland, Oregon is flushing 38 million gallons (143 million liters) of drinking water down the drain because a 19-year-old man urinated in an open reservoir early on Wednesday morning, city water officials said.
More:
"That water goes directly into people's homes," David Shaff, Portland Water Bureau administrator said. "There is no way to re-treat it."
Assuming the volume of the guys pee was one pint, that would be a dilution of 304,000,000 to one -- right up there with the standard standard Homeopathic dilutions. Just imagine, a city reservoir full of a potent medicine to cure gagging and nausea... Posted by DaveH at April 18, 2014 11:25 AM
