Homeopathy: Homeopathy may work through principles of nanopharmacology, activating the body's own powers of self-regulation and self-healing. Materials science indicates homeopathic remedies may affect entire organisms through epitaxy: the transfer of information, not material, from the surface of one material (usually solid) to another material (usually liquid, like our bodies that are 70% water).
