I wish i could remember the name of the documentary or even who made it cos it was really fascinating and had nothing at all to do with Homeopathy or any of those things.

you guys know way more about the ins and outs of this but i do remember them diluting something in water till it had completely gone, then taking a drip of that solution and again watering it down and then again a good few times.
Then they did something* and tested the water and it showed that you could find out what had been in the original water. Somehow.

It was interesting to watch tho.




*technical jiggery pokery involving big words and pipettes is about all i rememebr now.

There's never been any positive results other than the ones with a questionable technique. Every double blind test has proven negative and a lot of the research is made by people with a certain leaning already The case you're talking about had some weird step in the process that was additional and that could be seen as the cause of the fluctuated result
