Excellent review, Dana. Homeopathy was a brilliant addition to my clinical practice decades ago. My toolbox was greatly expanded when I leaned about a branch of homeopathy, homotoxicology, also called German Biologic Medicine and that was a health game changer. I gave a talk on it a few years ago due to my patients' requests here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2qA60XIQFg&t=57s.

People who don't know Michelle Perro, MD, will benefit from knowing that she is a highly respected pediatrician (like my own father!)...and she is very knowledgeable about nutrition. She is highly critical of GMOs (good for her) and of factory farming (also good for her!).

Thank you, Dana. I am a huge fan of your work as well! Just was reviewing this great article you wrote: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/15593258211022983.

An excellent article. I'm not a homeopathic practitioner, per se, but I have had an interest in the subject, and self-prescribed, for about 40 years. The theory about silica "chips" contributing to the action of homeopathic remedies is interesting. But about 30 years ago, I put a few pellets of 6x Selenium into a styrofoam cup filled with about an inch of distilled water, tossed this mixture back and forth into a second styrofoam cup...then poured about a tenth of this solution into another styrofoam cup. I repeated this process six more times before taking about a teaspoonful into my mouth and slowly letting it trickle down my throat. The effect was profound and very positive! The effect on my Kidney Chi was almost immediate. Not sure if you've ever felt "Chi"...but it is like magic when you do. Not long after that experience, I watched a PBS special on Traditional Chinese Medicine with Bill Moyers...and understood more about Chi. But I digress. The point I was trying to make is that I don't think the positive effect of succussion is due to the makeup of the container(s).

In due respect, what YOU are doing has nothing to do with the creation of nanoparticles that were ORIGINALLY made in glass or porcelian. That said, your experience has no impact on what I've written in my article.

Thanx for linking my newest article on THIS subject.

BTW, I am honored to have been the FIRST person to use the word "nanopharmacology" in a major scientific journal, FASEB, in 2006: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17142803/
