Does anyone know anything more on the subject of Cell vitality - I got a report from my Homeopath that said my cell vitality/effeciency is 45%, is there any way to improve it or any medication/suppliment to treat it.

Sounds like BS. Ask him for some scientific studies/papers supporting his claim.

You went to see a homo-what?

Sleep properly, eat properly, hydrate properly, ride your bike.

Period.

What symptoms do you experience as a result of the low cell vitality?

Amen,

Seems like there may be some science to it:

Give him an unlabled bottles of sugar water and similar unlabled homeopathetic medicines and ask him to tell the difference. The plain water will most likely have more active ingredients in it. There is a $1 million prize on offer if he can tell the difference.

As mentioned a peer reviewed paper on measuring cell vitality would add some credibility, else you may as well just pray for an improvement.
“ ...and if anyone can show me one example in the history of the world of a single homeopathic practitioner who's been able to prove under reasonable experimental conditions that solutions made up of infinitely tiny particles of good stuff dissolved repeatedly into relatively huge quantities of water have a consistently higher medicinal value than a similarly administered placebo...I will give you my piano, one of my legs and my wife. ”

Sort of. That does appear to apply to cells grown in a culture. Not sure whether it would have direct application as a treatment method for cells living in the human body.

Lol, the reason no-one has ever been able to prove scientifically that homeopathy works, is because once it is proven it gets called medicine.

Which implies that everything that does not work or cant be proven is called homepathy LOL.

If you give me a sample of 'medicine' I will be able to identify the claimed active ingredients ... even if they dont work.

You will find nothing but sugar and water in a homepathy remedy. Anything diluted more than 12 times (12C on the bottle) will most likely not have a single molecule of the active ingredient left. Homepaths claim the active ingredient left a memory in the water. Bit of a bugger since its likely been through the local sewerage plant a few times as well.

A dilution ratio of 100C corresponds to less than one atom out of all the atoms in the known universe.
