If a homoeopathic substance can get rid of pain from arthritis, and if we
are to believe you that
homoeopathic remedies do nothing, then, for my pain to have been effectively
'treated' with Rhus Tox,
only 2 possibilities exist.

1. I was imagining my pain and I don't really have arthritis.

2. My pain did go away due to the power of 'auto-suggestion' or 'placebo'
or whatever.


Now it seems to me that option 2. is such an astonishing concept in iits own
right that I felt
inspired to ask you that question.

Rhus is the Sumac family. That includes Poison Oak and Poison Ivy.
It would not surprise me if a very small amount of an extract of those
would be biologically active.

typical homeopathic remedies contain on average less than one moelcule of the
"active" component in the vial.
