Yo hey, so if water has memory, wouldn't it "remember" stuff that was in it before it was used as a solvent? For example, water from the sewage evaporates and falls as rain and this water eventually ends up being used as solvent for a homeopathic solution. Wouldn't the water "remember" the crap and crud and other filthy things dissolved in it when it was sewage water?
Can homeopaths make the water forget so it can start with blank water?

Read and read good before you shoot yourself again in the foot like all Pseudo Skeptics.
Take care

Even if you ignore the complete physical impossibility of the concepts of homeopathy it still doesn't make sense. Even if we assume that homeopaths can make water 'forget' so that they start with a fresh batch of water how do they stop the water from 'remembering' the molecules of the container it's kept in, the oils from the hands of the workers, the air, or the breath of the people who made it?
Henry - You're right water with memory is absurd, but you're wrong when you say that no one claims that; it's the entire basis for homeopathy.

You forget the concept of succussion - the shaking of serial dilutions is what makes the potencies. Hahnemann advocated doing this against a bible. Seems to be an important part in the production of highly diluted solutions of water, aka homeopathic remedies.
So the holy book is a black box "selective amnesia-inducing agent for water". In that it makes it remember dandelion juice or bee poison, but not duck shite or sewage

Sounds like bats in the belfry, no one has said water has memory.
