1. Bwahahahaha... fucking hell

Please ensure that you do not make undue claims, for example that "Homeopathy can cure everything" etc.

...

Please be careful not to bad mouth any other homeopaths, styles of homeopathy or other professions, it merely reflects poorly on our profession if we don't appear integrated as a profession, or if we appear to be unable to work together with other practitioners.

...

As we are promoting homeopathy, please refrain from including any other modality, other than that which is truly homeopathic in your promotion. As some of you may utilize modalities such as dowsing, pendulum, kinesiology, colour therapy, herbalism, craniosacral therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, etc into your practice and may find these modalities useful, this is an opportunity to promote Homeopathy and the "Law of Similars" as stated in the Organon. It is an opportunity to clear up any misconceptions as to what homeopathy is.

Don't claim a nanogram of Blackstrap Molasses will fix cancer AND incontinence.

Don't fun your brother-in-law for trying to dilute Strontium 90 into a bone cancer cure. Save it for the allopaths.

Keep all that other shit that makes you "interesting" in the closet, the world is still too coarse to understand the fluidity of higher consciousness.

Play nice and have fun, I'll see you all after my dental appointment.

4. Love this bit from WHAW:

WHEN TALKING ABOUT HOMEOPATHY TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION:
When dealing with the medical world, homeopaths tend to have one or more of the following emotions:

- Anger
- Frustration
- Respect
- Feeling of inferiority
- Wanting them to like us
- Wanting them to agree with our views/philosophies
- Wanting to feel accepted by them as a professional

Gee, I wonder why?

It's funny 'cos it's true!

[DavidDvorkin]

3. I guess the celebration is so diluted

that I wasn't even aware of it.

[ZombieHorde]

8. Ha! Good one. nt

[LeftishBrit]

5. Maybe they aren't aware that they're aware, because their awareness is so homeopathic.

[Codeine]

6. I'm going to celebrate for one-tenth of a second

sometime during the week. This will imprint the celebration energy onto the rest of the week and result in a celebration of maximum possible efficacy.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. Without the possibility of harmful celebration toxins and celebration autisms

[lazarus]

7. I'm celebrating

by drinking water. Which has every medicine ever made in it.

11. Good news here in the UK:

MPS URGE GOVERNMENT TO WITHDRAW NHS FUNDING AND MHRA LICENSING OF HOMEOPATHY

In a report published today, the Science and Technology Committee concludes that the NHS should cease funding homeopathy. It also concludes that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) should not allow homeopathic product labels to make medical claims without evidence of efficacy. As they are not medicines, homeopathic products should no longer be licensed by the MHRA.

The Committee carried out an evidence check to test if the Government’s policies on homeopathy were based on sound evidence. The Committee found a mismatch between the evidence and policy. While the Government acknowledges there is no evidence that homeopathy works beyond the placebo effect (where a patient gets better because of their belief in the treatment), it does not intend to change or review its policies on NHS funding of homeopathy.

The Committee concurred with the Government that the evidence base shows that homeopathy is not efficacious (that is, it does not work beyond the placebo effect) and that explanations for why homeopathy would work are scientifically implausible.

The Committee concluded-given that the existing scientific literature showed no good evidence of efficacy-that further clinical trials of homeopathy could not be justified.

12. LOL

I wonder if my interferon can be construed as "homeopathic" it is afterall something that my body makes naturally anyway. Of course considering that small changes in doses (from 180mg/wk to 135 mg/wk) actually affects how I feel that would be a big fat noooo!! I'm still laughing at the woos who say western meds never target the root cause since thats exactly what my interferon does.

[lizerdbits]

13. The root cause is your negative energy.

Clearly that IFN isn't going to fix your attitude!

16. I can't resist....

In honor of homeopathy awareness week:

"By definition...alternative medicine...has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call 'alternative medicine' that's been proved to work? Medicine...

If you show me that, say, homeopathy works, then I will change my mind I'll spin on a fucking dime. I'll be embarrassed as hell, but I will run through the streets yelling 'It's a miracle! Take physics and bin it, water has memory! And whilst it's memory of a long lost drop of onion juice seems infinite it somehow forgets all the poo it's had in it!' You show me that it works and how it works and when I've recovered from the shock I'll take a compass and carve 'Fancy That' on the side of my cock" - Tim Minchin, Storm

[realisticphish]
