Is homeopathy really an effective treatment?

Hello! Homeopathic treatment is based on the "like should be treated with like" approach. For example, to treat a cough, you need to find a substance that causes it. Ordinary book dust will do just fine with this.

To create a homeopathic remedy, this dust must be diluted. To do this, it is placed in a test tube with water in a ratio of 1: 99. A drop is taken from the resulting solution and again placed in a test tube with water, where there are already 99 drops. And so 30 times.

What will we get in the end? Water and nothing else. Not a single molecule that was in a lump of book dust will be in a test tube. With the same success, water from the oceans can be considered a cure for all diseases.

So the active effect has nowhere to come from - despite the claims of homeopaths about “
