That boy must have some really good drugs if he thinks he is stopping the train and pushing it off to go again. Which is about the same as most homeopathic medicines they don't actually do very much. The ones which actually do work were adopted by big pharma laced and cut with dozens of unpronounceable chemical names sold non proscription over the counter as natural remedies. Knowing full well that the garbage they are producing will have near zero effect on whatever symptom the pills, capsules, or snake oils list on their labels as the cure-all.

I suspect that it's a parody.

Homeopathic "medicines" are the ones where you're just drinking expensive water. There's nothing in the water but water, and maybe some crap from the pipes. But really it's just water.

The theory is that "like cures like." So if you get bit by a rattlesnake, they'll put a drop of rattlesnake venom in water. Then they'll dilute that with water until it's statistically likely that there are NO ARE NO RATTLESNAKE VENOM MOLECULES LEFT in the water. It's literally just water that's left over. They say the water develops a "memory" of the stuff that used to be in it, and that's what restores health. Absolute unadulterated horse ****.
