22. Water does retain a memory of every type of energy on the planet

Sun Aug 2, 2015, 10:59 AM

Aug 2015

Even shit.

This post reminds me of that substance. You've obviously made no effort to study the topic other than your ad hominem, cheap shot. Do the research. It's out there and it is highly credible. Or go to my post that answers the first poster and follow some of those links.

My spouse and I have used homeopathy for decades.

When I had anaphlactic shock, my spouse gave me histamanium and it made the allergic reaction go away. This is on three occasions. When I almost died he gave me carbo vegitalis and it energized and healed me. There are many other examples... like giving our cats homeopathic remedies for conditions that resolved quickly.

And there are no nasty side effects like so many drugs.

You can thank John D. Rockefeller for destroying homeopathy in the USA for his own financial benefit, even though he had his own homeopathic physician.
