[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy Homeopathy] involves a [[process]] known by practitioners as "dynamisation" or "potentisation" whereby a substance is diluted with alcohol or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water distilled water] and then [[vigorously]] shaken in a process called "succussion". Insoluble solids, such as [[quartz]] and oyster shell, are diluted by grinding them with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose lactose] (trituration). The founder of homeopathy, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Hahnemann Samuel Hahnemann] (1755 — 1843) [[believed]] that the [[process]] of succussion activated the "vital energy" of the diluted substance, and that successive dilutions increased the "potency" of the remedy.

The [[idea]] is not generally accepted outside the field of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy homeopathy]. Considering the [[understanding]] of modern [[biochemistry]], it is [[paradoxical]] that a process of dilution would arrive at a higher potency than a lower dilution, and in some highly diluted preparations there is very low [[probability]] for even a single [[molecule]] of the original substance being present.

Homeopaths maintain that this solution retains some "essential property" of the original material, because the preparation has been shaken after each dilution. Hahnemann [[believed]] that the dynamisation or shaking of the solution caused a "[[spirit]]-like" [[healing]] [[force]] to be released from within the substance. Even though the homeopathic remedies are often extremely diluted, homeopaths maintain that a [[healing]] force is retained by these homeopathic preparations.
