But it's often not in dangerous quantities, because homeopathy believes that the less of something is present somewhere it works better, and it's called "dynamization" or "potentization" by the producers, diluting the material sometimes to the point that in thousands of sold pills, counted together, there can't be more than one single molecule! The process then practically guarantees that there aren't dangerous substances in the pill or "solution". Heh.

The "less potent" pills or solutions can actually have some amounts of the stuff named on them, beware of those.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathic_dilutions

"24X 12C 10−24 Has a 60% probability of containing one molecule of original material if one mole of the original substance was used."

"26X 13C 10−26 If pure water were used as the diluent, no molecules of the original solution remain in the water."

Edit: regarding the 5G issue, an article where about Glastonbury Town Council report, where the 5G USB "solution" was mentioned by "Non-Councillor Advisory Committee Member" (I have no idea what that means):

I understand that the Council set up a 5G Advisory Committee, and the person mentioning these anti-5G USB sticks is a member of the advisory committee but isn't an elected councillor.

Beyond that, the stuff is often badly made and might accidentally have much larger amounts. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/hundreds-of-babie...

Did you hear about the homeopath that died of an overdose? He forgot to take his pills.
