That's the equivalent of one ml of "stuff" in 10^60 ml of water. 10^60 ml of water would fill a cube ~ 1,000,000,000,000,000 km on each side, give or take an order of magnitude or 2. I'm too lazy to actually do the calculations. Needless to say, the chances of you actually getting a single molecule of whatver you think you're buying is almost 0.
You would have to give two billion doses per second to six billion people for 4 billion years to deliver a single molecule of the original material to any patient. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathic_dilutions#30C:_1_ml_in_1.2C191.2C016_cubic_light_years)
You're paying money for sugar water.
