I have been known to pour scorn on other branches of alternative medicine form time to time as well, but have a healthy respect for some versions. But in this specific instance, I was referring to "dilute it until it's just water, then rely on the memory of water to bring it's healing powers to bear, then drop it on a sugar cube and let all the water evaporate."

I am intrigued by the acupunctured horse - you have a vetinary background? I'd be interested in seeing any studies about that.
