The anti woo thread.

[LetThereBeRock]

Can all those who don't believe in homeopathy,ghosts,talking to the dead,reading minds etc,please check in here?

There must be a few of us.

I feel as though I've logged onto allthingswoo.com rather than Mumsnet.com at the moment,and I'm not referring to this particuarly forum,but chat and AIBU?.

And if anyone says anything about how we should be openminded,I'm afraid I'll have to beat you to death with a a stick,one cut from an ash tree by the light of the first Summer moon of course.

It goes in fashions, doesn;t it? People don;t seem to be being abducted by aliens any more,

I'll join in.

My GP had additional qualifications in homeopathy which bothers me and means I can't trust him. I keep checking his prescriptions aren't just more of the same!

Also have a friend who believes that she has a crystal child. Has anyone else come across this amazingly wootastic belief?

Bet she wraps him up in cotton wool

Down with woo.

That homeopathic A&E sketch is priceless.

I've added your suggestions to the Bingo sheet too Seeker.They're genius.

Any more anyone?

If I'm bored later I think I'll amuse myself by going through one of the many ongoing woo related threads in chat or AIBU,with my Bingo sheet.

'It goes in fashions, doesn;t it? People don;t seem to be being abducted by aliens any more,'

That's true,though ghosts have always been 'in',haven't they?

"Of course scientists scoff at homeopathy, they are judging it using allopathic methods that simply won't work"

I WILL NOT BE SUPRESSED.

If there is one woo peddler on this thread are they going to be more effective than a whole thread full of them because they are diluted?

Beta, my FIL is a hydrogeologist so a hard core sciencey person, and he can also divine water. He tried to teach me but I had no gift whatsoever.

I'd never heard of Crystal Children. I wondered if it was like Indigo Children, so I goooogled. After reading THIS I am now clear. And quite convinced.

Don't forget, I have also been banged on a leather saddle many times. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

You mean you were a pair of jodphurs in a previous life?

Yes indeed. Joan of Arc's, no less.

It's funny, I don't know anyone who says, 'Yes, I believe in crystal children but my own two are completely normal.'

Looking them up on YouTube can definitely while away a lot of time. This must be lovely to know

'you just don't have an open mind'

Um. Just read that link on crystal children and am wondering how I can convince DS to become one.

I'm signing in, a bit late. No woo allowed here.

Reiki?
Dim lighting, nice rest on a couch category.

I am not woo and neither is DP. It is very satisfying. Am reading Bad Science at the moment and keep chuckling happily to myself.

HerMajesties, I can help you here. Having looked hard at the evidence, am pretty sure that you just need a brown haired child dressed in bright pink. I gleaned that from the 2x pics on the post.

Shit! DS and DD are both blond! Hair dye? But it's full of TOXINS!

Just use mud. That'll draw out the toxins, 2 birds/one stone.

Take homeopathic silicea regularly for mouth ulcers and found it worked, other sugar pills don't, flummoxed as this Does Not Conform To My Beliefs.

When I saw the quasi-ghost, it warned me about something unexpected in the future that came true. That Does Not Conform either.

I reckon we can put Physiotherapy in the category of placebo treatments as well, tbh.

Now I have to disagree about physiotherapists. They are fantastic.
