No, not "ALL."

"Homeopathy (also spelled Homoeopathy or Homœopathy) is a form of
alternative medicine, first proposed by German physician Samuel
Hahnemann in 1796, that attempts to treat patients with heavily
diluted preparations which are thought to cause effects similar to the
symptoms presented. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial
dilution with shaking by forceful striking, which homeopaths term
'succussion,' after each dilution under the assumption that this
increases the effect of the treatment. Homeopaths call this process
'potentization'. Dilution often continues until none of the original
substance remains."
