Interestingly enough, there has been recent research that showed that, even in the most extreme dilution, there is still something there--the Avogadro's Number is a bit like Zeno's Paradox(which proves that you can never get to the door, because you'll get halfway there, and then half of that, and half of that, to infinity), an interesting idea that seems totally logical, but that falls apart completely in reality.

As to the broken arm, a homeopath will have it wrapped and braced in the same way that everyone else does, but probably will give you Arnica to prevent bruising and swelling, possibly followed by the above Rhus, and it will not get all swollen, purple and painful, whereas the good folks at ER will give you some pain suppressants which will work at first (for a while, your body will be so pumped on its own pain supressors that you won't realize how hurt you are) but later it will be swollen, painful, and bruised.

Homeopathy works!! And remember, as you read Holmes, that, at the time of his attack, the mainstream doctors regularly bled their patients, and they did not routinely clean or sterilize anything, and had no way of dealing with the wide-spread epidemics of Cholera that were rampant at the time. Homeopathic hospitals at the time routinely saved most of their cholera victims, while the mainstream hospitals lost most of theirs.

Also worthy of note--recently published research shows that there are more than 100,000 deaths each year resulting from the complications of prescribed medicines, in hospitals alone!
