Meatball,
There are different strengths but ALL homeopathic remedies are designed to remove all the active substance. The starting solution has one drop of active ingredient to 100 drops of water. A reduction is performed by taking one drop of solution and adding it to 100 drops of water, then stir. A 10x power of homeopathic remedy has had 10 reductions performed on it so 100x will have ten time the probability of being just water but even at 10x there is little chance of any substance making it into the final pill. It is based on avogadro's number and the reductions should make it impossible for any of the substance to be left in the pill except by some unlucky accident where one determined particle managed to find the dropper over and over again. The weirdest part of homeopathy is that the more reductions that are done the higher the potency is said to be.
