to think homeopaths really just make money out of the gullible?

[WidowWadman]

A remedy made from diluted bits of the Berlin Wall - seriously, that's surely just a test to find out how far they can push it, isn't?

...and even if they managed those levels of cleanliness - as soon as the bottle is opened, the pills will start absorbing all sorts of stuff from the atmosphere - water molecules tainted with the memory of passing through Hitler's dinkle.......washing Anne Widdecombe's knickers.....

Ok, I am not drinking ever again.

But presumably I will be ok because I can chew on some dried fruit which will retain its memory of water and thus will my body be replenished.

Get someone to email you the vibration of water and download it - you'l be reyt.

washing Anne Widdecombe's knickers

Why do I find that a more disturbing & horrific thought than Hitler's dinkle?

thanks. I am not happy with anything passing my lips that's been near anyone's gusset. Unless the homeopaths can sell me a bottle of something that James Marsters may once have bathed in.

Welcome to my world, Ellie, welcome to my world.....

Don't fret. You don't even have to bother eating....be a [[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/07/navenna-shine-breatharian-light-air-water-no-food_n_3398862.html BREATHARIAN".

I realise this doesn't have the support of the science community, but really, what do they know? As Shakespeare said....."There are more things, Horatio blah blah..."

Seriously, for such an intelligent species, some people are amazingly stupid.

BREATHARIAN

Tsk. That's what I meant. Ahem.

Didn't some poor woman die because she was a breatharian and said she was getting all her nutrients etc out of the air?

But if water has a memory and we are 90% water then there must be some memories of some bloody good meals floating around me, so maybe I will give it a go.

At least my homeopathic friend didn't even try to push any remedies on me when I got my cancer diagnosis. Which was lucky for her otherwise she would have been trying to research which flower remedy was good for a punch on the nose.

I stand corrected. Several people have died following this nut job breatharian theory.

Adults are old enough to be responsible for their own lunatic decisions. Its when they involve children and anminals that I get frustrated.

Yes, and there are many reports of children dying of things like diabetes & pneumonia (things they could have been saved from) because of their ignorant & arrogant parents.

Breatharian?
WTAF!?

A child died from eczema because her parents insisted on using homeopathy. Quite rightly they were prosecuted.

But has proved on TV she can exist without food or water. If people die trying to emulate her then they are just not doing it right.

I know someone else said this upthread, but I think it's worth repeating - a lot of this dangerous nonsense is rooted in the idea that science, somehow, can't really be trusted. That it's arrogant, pretends to know everything, when really it doesn't, and doesn't give due respect to ideas that can't be tested in the lab, etc. etc.

This is such a common misunderstanding of how science actually works that I think it should be directly addressed in schools.

Before they start learning about photosynthesis and the life cycle of frog spawn, children should be taught about what the scientific method actually is, how it works, how it polices itself and why we can trust it's conclusions.

Actually, was trying to think who Jasmuheen reminded me of. It's .
Same patronising yet sweetly-reasonable, girly voice. Same smiling mouth, same cold, dead, shark eyes...

Oooh - Bore.....I knew before I clicked the link it'd be her.

YY Ellie - We can dismiss them as nutjobs but they are gaining dangerous footholds

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Wendy Wright.

Just, just...................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I get annoyed by the assumption that all scientists are unimaginative Aspergery nay-sayers who want to pin everyone and everything down and pigeonhole it in a test-tube/Petri dish blah blah blah....y'know...stifling everyone's free spirit and all that shite.

you only have to look at holographic theory and the fact it's been looked at (and looked for) to realise that a lot of science is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out there and utterly bonkers! Loads more amazing than silly-arsed water-memory and constipated chakras.

Yes - and scientists hate the idea of God/ghosts/spirits & would be highly embarrassed if any evidence was found for such a beings. Which is why they refuse to look for the evidence .

Actually - scientists would be more excited than anyone at finding evidence that proved any of that.

Too right. It'd be awesomtacular!

But it's not v likely.

OMG I could never get tired of slapping Wendy Wright!

Just watched part 1 of the youtube link and will watch the rest later when I'll be on my own and my shouting won't disturb anyone.

....hey, Kate.....that's NOT evidence....
