It would be hilarious if homeopathy turned out to be right!
(To be clear, I don't think that will actually happen, but it would be hilarious if it did!)

While on the topic of weird theories of water, there's always Polywater:

You can be sure they’ll start using this paper as “evidence” all the same.
Don't know about right, but for a while it worked better than "regular" medicine. At least it wouldn't kill you, when the alternative was intensive bloodlettings and purgatives.

Homeopathy was invented after the discovery of germ theory [1][2]. So not really. And homeopathy has always suffered from an adulteration problem.

Homeopathic medicine is already recommended by 1 out of 1000000000000000000 doctors.
Homeopathy actually works great depending on what you use it for: I've been trying homeopathic vodka and it's done wonders for my health.
Stealing this forever.
There is no basis to suggest that any product uses this property of water. As for homeopathy, it isn't one thing. The effects, if any, can vary greatly by the substance and the concentration. Some low-dilution products work and many high-dilution products don't. There is such a thing as excessive dilution. Anyone who is painting a simpler picture of it is almost certainly wrong.
Homeopathy is very literally the singular concept that more diluted medicine works better.
Saying that “less diluted works better” is saying the diametric opposite of what Homeopathic “theory” does!
