That's a great question. We don't know. (The succussion, or agitation, part of the preparation is critical - dilution alone does not create a remedy.) And we don't need to for it to work. It took decades, I've heard 70 years (!), before analysts were able to determine the mechanism of action of aspirin. They knew that salicylic acid helped people in pain, so they synthesized the drug and found that they could manage pain with it, but they had no idea how it worked (or the damage it could do, but that's another story.)
Dr. Iris Bell has demonstrated that, in vitro, not only do dynamized substances react with organic compounds and genetic material, but different dynamized substances react *differently;* she has a zillion papers on pubmed if you want to get into those weeds. She's also done a lot of work on that agitation issue mentioned above.
Focusing on the theoretical, rather than the clinical, is one of the major issues at the heart of the debate between "vitalist" and "rationalist" medicine. It is much easier to treat the body like a machine and study and theorize (and definitely easier to get grants to do so), but my job is to help people to heal, and that's what I focus on.
It may be that, the more we learn about the nature of water, particularly in its 4th (plasma/gel) state, the better we'll understand how ultramolecular doses invigorate the vital force and inspire it to bring greater healing capacity online, but, for the time being, that is secondary to knowing that they DO have this effect, and mastering the art of harnessing it to achieve higher levels of health and wellbeing.
True homeopathic medicine has no active ingredients, they are diluted out. What then is the mechanism of action?

We could have talked all day! We’ll have round two soon!
Yes! Fantastic conversation, and still lots more to talk about! We will do it again soon!
