This? This is what I did not want. The part of homeopathy that isn't bullshit is the part affected by the placebo effect.
Anyways, thanks for the advice guys...I think I'm going to email her a link to a vid and see what she thinks. Not taking sides with it either way. She has her master's degree, and does some radical treatments on kids with autism...I think the fact that she is on the cutting edge of research that mainstream medicine doesn't understand (but that she can document works) makes her more likely to believe other fringe stuff. If she still wants to believe that water dilluted to such an extreme that it isn't statistically likely that even a single atom of the preperation is present in the dilution after knowing the facts, I'm not going to push the point.
