Also known as, "homeopathy". Probably just as effective.
- benevol 10y agoAs far as I know, the concept of homeopathy works on an "information level" (I wouldn't be too surprised if quantum physics are involved), not on the molecular/material level (which microdosing still does).
- swerner 10y agoThe "information level" being the placebo effect. You feel it working because you think it's working.
- benevol 10y agoI don't know, could be. The strange thing however is that there have been cases where animals have shown clear reactions to such a treatment (which wouldn't make sense, given the fact that the "substance" was mixed into their food). Future will tell, I suppose.
- red75prime 10y agoA year ago today was a future.
- gattilorenz 10y agoPlacebo effect has been observed in animals too.
- bharath28 10y agoThis is one where I am fairly confident the future will not tell anything new. On a related note, watch James Randi swallow an entire bottle of Homeopathic sleeping pills in this talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/james_randi https://www.ted.com/talks/james_randi
- gcoda 10y agoHomeopathy is when no single molecule of substance is present in your dose. Put a cup of coffee in ocean. And get a drop of ocean to get homeopathic remedy for sleep. Microdosing is about taking as much as you can without hallucinations. Still works, still enough active molecules in your dose to make magic in your brain. It is usually like 1/10, not 1/1000000000
- kivikakk 10y ago10% of a very potent dosage is hardly homeopathy.
- metaphorm 10y agoyou're grossly uninformed. homeopathy is diluting something into a totally ineffective concentration. microdosing is diluting something into a concentration that is just barely below the threshold of easily noticeable effects, but well above the threshold of real but subtle effects.
