The QED conference is fast approaching which can only mean one thing - the 10:23 challenge 2011 is nearly upon us. For those that don't know, this will involve an international homeopathic 'overdose' by protesters in more than 10 countries around the world over the weekend of February 5-6 2011 to make the simple statement
Homeopathy - There's Nothing In It
The most important question you should be asking yourself is;
"Which remedy will you choose?"
You could go for the standard Boots Belladonna 30C , or Nelsons Arnica 30c. If you read the Science and Technology Commons Select Committee's Evidence Report on Homeopathy you'll know that homeopathic remedies can be far more ridiculous than this.
We are concerned by some homeopathic products. For example, it is possible to buy homeopathic products made from body parts such as hip joints and colons, animals such as iguana and dragonfly, and different kinds of sunlight. We are doubly concerned that it is also possible to buy products derived from precious archaeological features such as the Great Wall of China and Stonehenge.56 We do not understand what symptoms could be induced (and therefore be treated) by these products under the like-cures-like principle.
Helios Homeopathy (reference #56 in the report) supplies all these products and more, they have gems (literally) such as:
As well as some more unusual remedies:
- North sea oil mud
- D N A and the associated R. N. A
- Stonehenge
- Vacuum - I'm guessing this is the empty space type rather than the cleaner type - although I'm not really sure how you could make a remedy out of nothing
- Exhaust fumes - QED is in a city after all
- Light (Energy Saving Bulb)
Some of my favourites include laser beam, especially at the wavelength of 2940nm. Guiness to cure drunkenness, or maybe Irishness, or maybe alcoholism. If I was an alien visiting the milky way and caught a 'Milky Way disease' I would take Milky Way (Essence). For people suffering from electromagnetic hypersensitivity caused by mobile phones, they'll need a Mobile Phone remedy, you'll of course need to be carefull to choose the correct frequency band, 900Mhz or 1800 Mhz.
Now, one final recommendation, for Marsh from the Merseyside Skeptics Society, I would recomend Palladium metallicum to cure his problems with accepting the existance of this element.
I've chosen my remedy, I understand that Manchester can be a dangerous place with all the gun crime, so I've chosen... Gunpowder... in case I get shot! Enjoy choosing your homeopathic remedy.
And on a related note... there is no difference in remedy composition above a 12C dilution so this really doesn't matter too much!
