I hear you...but don't you think it is comparable to a virus entering the immune system and stimulating the antibodies to recognize that virus when it reenters the system again...or perhaps a better example would be similar to a vaccine in which a dead or attuenuated live virus is introduced to the system to stimulate the immune response to fight that virus? Most of the viruses used in vaccines are actually dead because attenuated live viruses are too dangerous to use...yet they still initiate a response...so, in theory couldn't a minute amount of a toxin do the same thing? I'm just saying this for debate sake and because I question whether or not homeopathy works myself...I have actually had much better results with allopathic medicine than I have with homeopathic remedies. And I wouldn't take my pets to a vet that used homeopathic treatment. What do you think about allergy shots? I think that allergy shots basically follow the same principles as homeopathy...and I have been getting shots...I am starting to question whether or not they are working at all and if I should continue to get them...
