Question: The biological methods and processes involved in producing data or solutions about homeopathic medicine?
I'm producing a biology issue report and im stuck on that particular question :/
Answers:
That's easy!
Homeopathy involves diluting a substance beyond Avogadro's Number, i.e. until there's no molecules of the original substance left, only water.
As water has no identifiable effect on living tissue (above basic hydration) then there's basically no data.

I can understand why you're stuck. Homeopathy doesn't have any of what you're looking for.
Edit:
Aaah, yes, "provings." Wherein a potential drug is tested on HEALTHY people instead of people who are sick. Yes, that's super logical!
(Pharm drugs are tested on healthy people too to test for safety but afterwards, a trial is done on sick people unlike homeopathy which stops at provings.)
there are none. So good luck with that question - unless of course it's a trick question ... lol
They're called Provings: single medicinal substances are tested on groups of healthy volunteers to determine what symptoms can be produced by that particular substance. It's the only rational way to test medicinal effects.
Like does cure like.
Opposing symptoms, which is the notion that fuels pharma drugs, has been proven not to work -- drugs can't cure anything, only suppress symptoms. And even the drug companies admit that their drugs only have the desired effects on about 30-40% of the people who take them. They cause unwanted effects in most patients, however. This is partly because pharma products are not single substances, but combinations of substances.
