Donât forget, homeopathic means âit doesnât workâ

âWater has memoryâ⌠LOL
A LOT of things say homeopathic when they mean herbal aka theyâre not the BS dilutions, theyâre just herbal ingredients that are listed in the homeopathic catalog of ingredients. I wish they wouldnât do that as it confuses products with real ingredients with the BS kind. I donât know which one this brand is, but if itâs the real ingredients kind it could be worth buying - Iâve had good luck with elderberry and zinc supplements before in helping to keep colds at bay. (as long as I bought real ones ofc and not true homeopathic.)
Itâs a no for me. Reading the ingredients shows this to be an entirely homeopathic remedy with homeopathic zinc and âelderberry flavoring.â In my personal experience, taking an actual elderberry syrup or extract and a zinc supplement works best for me. And even Walmart carries elderberry syrup and lozenges these days. Iâm going to pass on this particular Woot offering.
If itâs really a homeopathic remedy, then a two pack should be more expensive than a four pack, as itâs more effective if you use less!
This is embarrassing, Woot. We expect crap, not bullshit.
When you see âhomeopathicâ, you need to know that â6xâ, for example, means there is one part of the original ingredient in a million (10^6) parts of water. â12xâ means one part of âactive ingredientâ in one TRILLION (10^12) parts of water. Water does NOT remember this kind of thing, otherwise it would also remember being âgrey waterâ and being inside animals and underground and in clouds⌠If you NEED to believe this, ignore everything Iâve just said, maybe âbeliefâ will work for you. Donât pay more than you can stand to loseâŚ
âYes, bartender, Iâll take a (12X) shot of rattlesnake venom, pleaseâ (and there MAY be one molecule of toxin in that jigger)⌠at that concentration you MAY also be safe from ricin and botulism too. People SOoo want to believe in magic.
Hoping woot will list actual oil of snake soonâŚ
There are a lot of products available on the mother ship that are better than this. Some are sold as the product and you stew it on your stovetop. Really much better quality than this.
I have it on good authority (and personal experience) that âsnake oilâ smells (and tastes) an AWFUL lot like chicken (soup, grease, broth, etc). Remember the bit about chickens (birds) used to be reptilesâŚ
Water. Itâs water.
Back in the mists of time, I used to listen to the radio program âOil of Dogâ (by Gary Storm) that ran late at night on WBFO. Every time I hear references to snake oil, I think of Oil of Dog and feel a little extra bit of happiness!
