Great videos. Homeopathy is ridiculous.

Isn't all water homeopathic already? Isn't all water just extremely diluted dinosaur pee pee?

Speak for yourself. I drink my compy piss undiluted.

Oh sure, the liberal media will tell you all sorts of things, like "drinking urine isn't good for you" and "dinosaurs are extinct," but I'm going to blow the lid off this conspiracy when I release my Loose Change-style documentary about how Jurassic Park was a fact-based documentary.

My water has a homeopathic amount of LSD that keeps me from going crazy. When I quit drinking it, it's like I'm on LSD.

Drinking your placebo is easier than swallowing a sugar pill. James Randi has some hilarious things to say about homeopathy. Its easy to find on YouTube.

There were moves by the British Medical Association to have homeopathic "medicines" banned but the British parliament overruled them saying "people should have the choice". Duh! So people, you can choose between real medicines containing drugs or fake medicines that are pure water and only "work" by a placebo effect if you believe they are real. In the mean time the big pharmaceutical companies like Boots make a fortune selling expensive water as homeopathic medicine in their pharmacies to the gullible and uneducated public.

It isn't so long ago that a British doctor was struck off for telling a patient that they were possessed by a demon and needed to be exorcised by a priest. Rolling Eyes Where is medicine today? The dark ages?

^ At the GPs surgery I used to go to, one of the doctors was, I sh** you not, a practicing homeopath!

Do they charge extra for voodoo? Such an addition a their website just discredits them as medical practitioners in my opinion. It is one thing treating the patient holistically but quite another prescribing fake medicines to patients.

I especially like this bit:

Homeopathic medicines are derived from Nature, are gentle and safe (even in pregnancy) and can be used in all age groups.


Yes... water with nothing in it is safe for everyone! Laughing

wait, puddingmouse, aren't you in Britain with socialized health care? Are you telling us that, in an time when they're laying off government workers left and right, the National Health System is employing homeopaths?

As a subsidiary to what they normally do. That doctor is a GP, as well. I don't know how someone who could get a medical degree could believe such woo.

EDIT: yes, I'm in the country with the famous National Health Service.

There is not an iota of scientifically sound evidence for Homeopathic medicine. It is bogus from top to bottom. Utter nonsense. Balderdash.
