At that rate, you’re going to drink 358,269,184\* quarts of homeopathic bleach (at 2X dilution) to use a quart of bleach out of the bottle.

That will probably kill you, either from hyperhydration (if you try to do it all at once), or old age (if you pace yourself).  
_pharmaceutically, one drop is 50_u\*l, so it takes 18,928 to make a quart.

The homeopathic concept as I understand it is that a tiny, tiny amount of the stuff is used. Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) was not amused when I pointed out that I could get the smallest amount not taking it at all.

That’s my plan: Death by old age.

She may not have been, but I sure am amused. You made my day, and it’s only 4 a.m. here!

But wait! Small amounts of every homeopathic remedy have been eventually transferred into the world’s oceans making them an astronomically dilute solution of every curative known. Just a sip of sea water will eliminate all disease forever. We’re totally saved, I tell ya’.

Ah, but you forgot about the flouride that leeched into the ocean! That negates anything from the sea regarding curative powers.
