“Hundreds of people around the world took part in a homeopathic “overdose” on Saturday. No one died. ”

I liked what Hadley Freeman said in the Guardian, i quote: “homeopaths claim that the active ingredient imprints itself on the water’s memory by a very special shaking process, a theory that sparks two obvious questions: if water has memory, does that mean vegetarians aren’t allowed to drink it? And is this special shaking process similar to a toilet flushing? Because if so, presumably all drinking water must carry cherished memories of several generations of sewage. Pass the Evian.”
Quality.

Very funny, but please give us genuine nutritionists with years of degree studying and working in ‘proper medical research’ a break. Yes it is frustrating that our term isn’t protected yet (we are working on it) and freaks who go on a weekend course can set themselves up and spout absolute *#’!, but it is not a case that dietitians are the qualified ones and the rest of us aren’t. We often (the genuine ones of us) have a deeper scientific knowledge than they do as we are not stuck in the rut of working for the NHS! Other than that little rant I think ‘unqualified’ self processed experts are fair game and the Gillian McKeith’s and Patrick Holfords all deserve a humorous piss take! As for some of the other quack science……..where’s my water I think I was told it could cure everything!

That’s it, when I am in charge I will have a government policy to deal with the fear of Zomibes.

I laughed so hard I wet myself.

Luckily it turned out that it was only my bottle of homeopathic medicine that fell over in my lap.
I was already scrambling to my homeopathic handbook to find out a cure for urinary incontinence; It turns out there’s some more homeopathic drug which is called Sepia to cure that ailment.
I wonder whether you piss so much from all that water intake that you simply no longer have time to leak without noticing it.

Excellent show! Splendid!
