next, I will detail the spread of homeopathy. I am still working on part 2 of my writing plan
Homeopathic beliefs have no standard theory; practitioners vary widely in their prescriptions. No known scientific pathway for the medicines exists, and the theory defies all known physics, biology, and chemistry, particularly as the medicines consist of arbitrary substances diluted to the point where the mixture is entirely water or ethanol.

==History==
The term "homeopathy" was coined in the 19th century by German physician Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080407183345/http://www.shpltd.co.uk/dean-homeopathy.pdf Archived with the Wayback machine]</ref> The concept was first thought up of when he tested upon himself cinchona bark (a purported cure for malaria at the time) and noticed that the symptoms it induced in him were similar to the symptoms of [[malaria]]. He then developed the Law of similars based on this "discovery".<ref>http://www.skylarkbooks.co.uk/Hahnemann_Biography.htm</ref> He then cataloged the effects of various substances on humans in what he called "provings." These provings, he believed, were best applied to the [[subjectivity|self]].<ref>http://altmed.creighton.edu/Homeopathy/philosophy/provings.htm</ref>
