expectation, as most pharmacological (ie crude) substances when placed into a biological system show this kind of response.For an example of an s shaped dose response curve, see the diagram to the right:
potencies cause a larger effect, and higher potencies cause no effect.For an example of a dose response curve, see the left:This phenomenon of bell curve responses seems to be a characteristic of Homeopathy in general. Homeopathy, if it works at all, does not work via traditional pharmacological models of the body. It is quite fascinating to me that those looking for evidence on Homeopathy’s efficacy seem to insist it fit into another model of biological activity that they have accepted, rather than exploring the laboratory evidence available which indicates another model of responsiveness entirely.
