Background Info:
Recent events and news about water scarcity got me thinking about this. So the question is essentially the title. Or am I missing something?
If you live anywhere that uses a sewer system rather than septic tanks, isn’t it already doing that?
In my area, the water company pulls in from the river, filters and processes it, and pipes it out to homes. It gets used in the homes, discharged into the sewer to a treatment plant, treated, and then pumped back into the river.
Even if your water company’s intake is before the sewage treatment plant, the next town’s intake is downstream. So if you’re not drinking your neighbor’s processed toilet water, you’re drinking that of the town upstream.
Is getting mixed with river water simply enough to “dilute” the ick-factor here, or is there something I’m missing?
It’s a term that refers to any medicinal strategy which includes providing small amounts of the same pathogen or another substance which causes the same symptoms.
homeo = matching the
pathy = disease
Two examples of mainstreamed homeopathic treatments are:
It’s differentiated from “allopathic” medicine, which is when you use something that the opposite or indices opposite symptoms.
allo = opposite of the
pathy = disease
Most mainstream medicine is allopathic medicine:
In a drive to provide supply for the desire to make fun of people, the internet has decided homeopathy refers to mega-diluted water potions. It’s classic straw man shit writ large, fur the satisfaction of mocking people.
Homeopathy = pushing the same direction as a disease, to trigger the body’s own anti-disease mechanisms
Allopathy = pushing back against the disease with the medicine, because the body’s anti-disease mechanisms are exhausted or absent
That was very detailed thank you
