homeopathy... aibu to say i think of it's a crock of crap?

[ILetHimKeep20Quid]

Was at my brothers for dinner yesterday. My baby has a touch of eczema. As a chronic sufferer myself I roll my eyes whenever people start on the 'oh have you tried this' thing but smile and nod. I have used steroid creams in the past, of various strengths, to deal with outbreaks. I'm well versed in the treatment.

So, the wee touch my ds has isn't concerning me and I'm moisturizing him regularly.

Cue my sil practically gushing over her homeopath (not just a normal one. He's a gp but does this on the side it seems).

I smiled and nodded. Not wanting to get into the whole thing. But she would not give up. So I asked 'what is homeopathy?'

Apparently, get this, water has a memory. What the actual fuck? How can water have a memory?

And if a person's beliefs aren't sufficiently robust to stand up to a bit of challenging .... if they fall down the minute someone says boo to them .... then maybe it's time the person had another look at what they really do believe ?

And the use of "belief" is telling. You don't have to believe in paracetamol or glasses or splints...........

keep up, you need to treat like with like, so if you can't sleep you have to take caffeine, which will only make you sleep with the homeopathic dilutions, of course.
If you take valerian you'll be up all night.

You have to treat like with like.
