Did you know that Jacques Benveniste, one of the world's leading homeopathic scientists, now claims that you can *email* homeopathic remedies? Yeah, see, what you do is you can take the memory of the diluted substance out of the water electromagnetically, put it on your computer, email it, and play it back on a sound card into new water. I mean, that could work, right? {Nick's thoughts after reading Francis Wheen's book How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the World}
Jacques Benveniste, a prominent figure in homeopathy, has made a surprising claim that it is possible to send homeopathic remedies via email. He suggests that the memory of a diluted substance can be extracted from water through electromagnetic means, which can then be stored on a computer. Once digital, this information could be emailed and transferred back into water using a sound card, implying a novel method of treating ailments.
This concept is quite unconventional and raises questions about the validity of homeopathy. Nick Hornby, in his book "The Polysyllabic Spree," reflects on this astonishing notion and the broader implications of such claims, suggesting a critical view of how unconventional ideas can gain traction in society. The potential of digital remedies prompts both curiosity and skepticism regarding the efficacy of homeopathic practices.
