My abreaction to homeopathy is based on personal experience. I was in Bangladesh with the world falling out of my bottom. My uncle dabbled in homeopathy and decided to give me some. It didn't work and I remember rushing to the toilet in agony. The toilet was an oil drum with an old brick outbuilding above it. As I crouched and tried not to vomit at the sight and smell from below, I grabbed onto the wall for safety. The brick came off in my hand...but luckily I didn't have to enact a scene from Slumdog Millionaire. What I want to know is why all the homeopathy lovers bring up an anecdote about a horse being cured. Homeopathy is easy: just get a bottle of Evian and relabel if Nux icum, eg if you have asthma, the remedy will be called Nux Wheezicum and it's sure to eventually work. Naturally, one should ascribe some spurious Islamic connection to the practice and appear smug. Stethoscope wave back! My abreaction to homeopathy is based on personal experience.

And the video - hilarious. I find it amazing, though, that so many people - who otherwise appear fairly 'normal' and 'sane' - swear by homeopathy. How come they don't realize it is what it is?

My wife protests, but I tell her it is what my mother used to give me. Though I fear I have forgotten all the pills and syrups.

Reminds me of an article I read in the paper a while back about an acupuncturist going out to Gaza to help trauma patients through Traditional Chinese Medicine and Crystal Healing :/ That sketch was hilarious!
