I must protest however, at the example of homeopathic practice as evidence for these properties.

Whilst it is interesting that homeopaths use horn spoons because they believe that metal spoons would alter the effectiveness of their remedies, it does not constitute proof that horn is a less reactive material.

Homeopathic remedies have been clinically shown to be no more effective than placebo. Homeopathic remedies consists of no more than water and sugar, reliant upon an apparent property of water to ‘remember’ substances once diluted in it.

This property has never been observed. Indeed, if it were, the water would be able to recall the myriad of metal atoms that had once been diluted in it during it’s long existence on the Earth. In which case it wouldn’t matter if the spoon was made of metal or not.

Essentially, I ask that you make a distinction between what is fact, and what is not.
