Lightbulb homeopathic...

Homeopathic ORAL products typically have next to nothing in them. So poisoning is
not likely with them. If you read the labels of homeopathic products you will see things like 10X 30X etc. These are dilutions..the higher the numbers approach
infinestesimal levels of drug.. A 10X would be 10 decimal points in concentration!

Homeopathy is the field of medicine formulated by Dr. Samuel Hahneman, M.D., starting with the codification of the word Homeopathy in 1796, and which he continued formulating and modifying right up until his death at age 88, in 1843.

Key to the philosophy is the serial dilution of the remedies that get STRONGER "Biologically" as they get more dilute, or WEAKER from a "chemical" standpoint.

THE MORE DILUTE THE REMEDY, THE MORE POTENT THAT IT IS FOR THE PATIENT.

However, there is another key piece of the Potentization Equation. In-between each dilution step is a SHAKING step, known as SUCCUSSION.

A remedy that is diluted 1:10, involves one part of the remedy to 9 parts of the diluent (which is usually a 20% alcohol water solution). This 1: 10 dilution is called a 1X dilution. Making another 1:10 of the first 1X is called 2X. Doing it again makes it 3X.

If a remedy is diluted 1:100 (one part remedy in 99 parts diluent) it's called a 1C dilution. 1:100 of the 1C is called 2C; another 1:100 is 3C; etc., etc.

A series of 1000 1:100 C dilutions is called a 1M dilution.

A 1:50,000 dilution is called a 1LM Potency; 1:50,000 of the first 1:50,000 is called 2LM; etc., etc.

HOWEVER, in between each serial dilution, in order for the dilution to be truly considered Homeopathic, it has to be VIGOROUSLY SHAKEN against either a leather book (Hahneman used his Bible) or the palm of the hand. This vigorous shaking is called SUCCUSSION, and is an integral part of the Homeopathic process.

The number of "succussions" required for each dilution is not necessarily cast in Homeopathic stone, and is a matter of debate among homeopathic physicians, some of whom actually violently disagree on the correct numbers almost as much as traditional doctors disagree with the validity of Homeopathy itself.
from http://www.explorepub.com/articles/shelton_11_6.html

There is alot of controversy as to the validity of the actions therefore in these products.

It is not likely you will find oral arnica of poisonous concentration, but if you
take as much as you want or think you need as per that careless suggestion...you could poison yourself depending on what product you choose. For example a tincture that requires dilution could be dangerous.
