"Purely from experience and completely devoid of any hard proof, I have found the followingÂ_can anitdote or what I call 'nuke' homeopathic remedies: anything electrical/electronic near the remedy (even computers, playstations, bedside radios/alarms or mobile/cell phones); anything strong smelling e.g. menthol, camphor, perfume; the use of personal or household cleaning products near them; toothpaste and mouth washes eg. listerine; strong sunlight or heat; ingesting coffee/caffeinated products and cows milk; incense sticks or odour-infused candles; tobacco (not sure about the fumes from cannabis but I would suspect it would be a culprit) products; and last of all, but strangely enough, the magnets often found in the tops of womens handbags that click them closed! Sometimes I wonder where I CAN put my remedies without them being 'nuked'?!"

It's amazing homeopathy ever works.

Oh, hang on...wait a minute.

Tylenol still works after going through the screening machine at the airport. Hooray for proven medicine!

Un-ba-lievable!

Aren't homeopaths required to include a large sheet in each bottle with lots of 5-point type on which they list all the possible antidotes?

What complete crap.

Oh phew. I've been keeping my Arnica 30C on the Xbox and my Carcinwateva 30C on the Gamecube. Not to mention the several I house in my 3DO, NES,...


Wow, so everything "nukes" homeopathic remedies. So what's the point of using them, then?

Of course, this person's evidence is entirely anecdotal, which meets the homeopathic need for proof.

[Rolfe]

Yes, but Sarah says that's all nonsense, because one of her teachers told her that there was no such effect.

So that's all right then.

(I've lost count of the number of times I've asked Sarah et al wether they don't think it's important for the sake of patient care to find out for sure who's right, and how might they actually accomplish this, but she never returns to threads after that question is asked, or if she does she ignores it.)

Rolfe.

Bump.

I just thought that the homeopaths had been getting too easy a time of it lately, so I hope one or more of them will pick up the thread where Rolfe left it...

Oh thanks. I just got to read this:

What if while taking the pill you cough or burp would this affect the remedys working?

and then proceeded to try and telekinetically a stapler through my forehead.

Of course the responder to that had Frost's line about "...taking the road less traveled/and that has made all the difference." If only the twit realized that is she took the road less traveled called "thinking", it would be apropos. As it is, it's just more pretentious bull.

Where are those homeopaths hiding?

Anyroads, I've got another easy question for them:

H'paths contend that the higher the dilution, the more potent the 'remedy'. Why, then, is it that every piece of advice I've ever heard from h'paths says that NEVER imbibe greater amounts of the 'remedy' than specified as this may be DANGEROUS? I'd assume having a mouth and digestive tract full of water which dilutes the 'remedy' even further would be even more DANGEROUS as in OVERDOSE, that not swallowing the whole drop of 'remedy' or inadvertently diluting it on, say, a wet spoon, would be equally DANGEROUS.

So, if less is more, how does one EVER avoid an OVERDOSE when one does NOT imbibe the homeopathetic 'remedy'? And isn't one perfectly safe if one just bottoms the whole damned bottle of the stuff, as this will reduce its 'efficacy'?

I often wonder how people who genuinely subscribe to homeopathic logic actually get out of bed in the morning and move about in real life without immediate terminal injury...

I think they've all run away. It would be too much to hope that they'd actually been forced to reconsider their views and were lying low out of sheer embarrassment.
