Hormesis - very low doses of substances that have the opposite effects...

[Guest guest]

a few links if anyone is interested... the term actually comes from toxicology, as toxins were the first observed substances to have this effect sometimes. I guess homeopathy works on this sort of principle.also one paper that illustrates how LDN could have the opposite effects of the normal dose treatment...lots of it a mistery stillhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HormesisParadoxical Effects of the Opioid Antagonist Naltrexone on

Yes, the more diluted the remedy, the higher the potency. Seems odd,

doesn't it?
