Homeopathic "remedies" are the most expensive way of stocking up on (potentially contaminated) water imaginable. They don't work. They can't work. They are snake oil. They do not belong as a recommendation in any serious discussion of the topic of preparedness. Their inclusion makes me doubt your judgement and your information for every other post that provides health advice.
The American Medical Association, the National Health Service, and the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia have all stated that there is no good evidence that homeopathy is effective.
All relevant scientific knowledge about physics, chemistry, biochemistry and biology contradicts homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are typically biochemically inert, and have no effect on any known disease. Its theory of disease, centered around principles Hahnemann termed miasms, is inconsistent with subsequent identification of viruses and bacteria as causes of disease. Clinical trials have been conducted and generally demonstrated no objective effect from homeopathic preparations. The fundamental implausibility of homeopathy as well as a lack of demonstrable effectiveness has led to it being characterized within the scientific and medical communities as quackery and fraud.
