1. 3 years for homeopathy???

Homeopathy

Flexibility and great career options are some of the benefits to studying Homeopathy. ACNM has an Advanced Diploma of Homeopathy available externally for those interested in learning about Hahnemann's Law of Similars. Homeopathy is a system of medicine derived from plant, mineral or animal sources that when diluted to infinitesimal levels can affect a person with "similar symptoms". This course can be completed in 3 years full-time or equivalent part-time with some on-campus clinic intensives to enhance clinical experience. Homoeopaths may work in their private clinic, with other practitioners or work in research, product development, education or sales.

3. You know, with his gift for spin,

if he played along he could easily rake in millions and retire before the end of the year.

4. I wonder what's in the course?

As people have found, colleges teaching homeopathy tend to be rather secretive about the content of their courses:

Finding out exactly what is taught in the courses is not straightforward. Ben Goldacre, a London-based medical doctor, journalist and frequent critic of homeopathy, says that several universities have refused to let him see their course materials. "I can't imagine what they're teaching," he says. "I can only imagine that they teach that it's OK to cherry-pick evidence. That's totally unacceptable."

Pharmacologist David Colquhoun of University College London has had the same problem, and is now using freedom-of-information legislation to get access to course materials after having numerous requests refused. The University of Central Lancashire and the University of Salford both declined requests to talk to Nature or share details of their homeopathy degrees.

A conventional medical school won't try to keep their curriculum secret. Why should they? Ask them what they teach, and they'll be happy to help. What have the homeopathy courses got to hide?

5. It's a seeeeeeeeee-cret.

Just like the formula that turns lead into gold. Can't have just ANYBODY learning how to wield such power, now can we? You have to be at least an Indigo to get in the door.

6. I get it now!

Of course, it's magic! Magicians never reveal how their tricks work, except to other magicians. Except Penn and Teller, but they're libertarians, so they're crazy.

7. Exactly!

It's s lot like religion, too, if you look behind the curtain it just spoils everything.

8. It amazes me that for all their rubbishing

of western medicine they seek the trappings and authority of western medicine. On second thoughts It doesn't suprise me at all.
