I'm chuckling at the idea of water having "memory."
If we accept that premise, then a glass of drinking water has the "memory" of every place it's ever been and everything it's ever touched, right?
Scary thought.

| Hmmm... I wonder if it'd be OK if I just took a jar of water that I soaked a $100 bill in down to the health food store to pay for my vitamins? |

Nah, lovekraft0: grind up a penny, put the results into a jar of water, dilute it by a factor of 10, shake it, dilute it, shake it, etc (until you've diluted it 11 times), then take it to a homeopath and tell him that the jar contains a billion dollars, so he should "treat" you for free for the rest of your life.
And it's the shaking bit, Renae, which apparently saves us all from overdosing on homeopathically diluted drugs in our tap water. If you don't do the shaking right, the "medicines" won't work, no matter how much you dilute them. Allegedly. I'm just giving you the ad hoc excuses as supplied to me by homeopathic proponents and by Dr. Barrett.
Actually, the whole "water memory" thing is pretty new (if I remember correctly), compared to the 200-year history of homeopathy. They're just making things up as they go. |

If I did this with the moonshine booze I'm selling I'd rather quickly find myself at the sorry end of baseball-bat.
