What IS the TYPICAL homoeopathic remedy?!

I'm glad my comment at least got you thinking more about the subject!. There's precious little of that on this board!.

Your math about the X concentrations looks correct!. Each X represents a 1:10 dilution!. So 7X represents 1 followed by 7 zeros!.
The C represents 1:100 dilution, so a 7C would be 1 part in 1 followed by 14 zeros!. Avogadros number (at which there is no mathematical possibility of there being a single molecule) is 1 followed by 23 zeros!.

Homeopaths do acknowledge the math (though Avogadro's number wasn't discovered in Hahnemans time) They claim of course that the water magically remembers the molecule through their process of succession (magical shaking) What has never been proven is the basic concept of "like cures like" in the first place!. And they can't explain why water doesn't remember all the other things it comes in contact with except for the magical (unproven) concept of succession!. The big test of course is---DOES IT WORK!?---and the answer, time after time is it works no better than placebo for minor, self limiting illnessess or injuries, and not at all for major illnessess or injuries!.

The fact that the "laws" (bwa ha ha) of homeopathy violate all the laws of physics, biochemistry and physiology that have been discovered in the 200 years since Hahneman doesn't seem to concern homeopaths!. Neither do they make an effort to replace those laws with new, evidence based ones!. They just believe in magic!. They also ignore the fact, that when they place that very pure drop of water on the sugar pills, it then evaporates, so the magic water is gone from the pill anyway!.

Even though there may be detectable molecules at some of the more concentrated solutions!.!.!.!.remember that dilute toxins have no known effect on the body!. For example, the allowable limit of Arsenic ( a deadly poison) in our drinking water in 10 parts per billion!.!.or equivalent to an 8X homeopathic dilution!.

Myth:

Sharks Can Detect a Single Drop of Blood in the Ocean

Sharks are often portrayed as having an almost supernatural sense of smell!. However, reports that sharks can smell a single drop of blood in a vast ocean are greatly exaggerated!. While some sharks can detect blood at one part per million, that hardly qualifies as the entire ocean!. Sharks do, however, have an acute sense of smell and a sensitive olfactory system--much more so than humans!. Sharks' nostrils are located on the underside of the snout, and unlike human nostrils, are used solely for smelling and not for breathing!. They are lined with specialized cells that comprise the olfactory epithelium!. Water flows into the nostrils and dissolved chemicals come into contact with tissue, exciting receptors in the cells!. These signals are then transmitted to the brain and are interpreted as smells!.

Because of the extreme sensitivity of these cells, as well as the fact that the olfactory bulb of the brain is enlarged, sharks can detect miniscule amounts of certain chemicals!. This varies, of course, among different species of sharks and the chemical in question!. The lemon shark can detect tuna oil at one part per 25 million--that's equivalent to about 10 drops in an average-sized home swimming pool!. Other types of sharks can detect their prey at one part per 10 billion; that's one drop in an Olympic-sized swimming pool! Some sharks can detect these low concentrations of chemicals at prodigious distances--up to several hundred meters (the length of several football fields)
