Looking through old threads to while away the time in case anyone comes up with something useful to contribute I discover that we have examples on this forum where coincidental recovery can't be blamed for the homeopath's claimed cure, because it just doesn't get better at all.

Terrific stuff this homeopathy.

This is much more typical of the cases I have seen handled by homeopaths. Nothing much changes, but the homeopath keeps fiddling away, all the while muttering about needing to get the remedy just right before anything can happen. There must be an awful lot of incompetent homeopaths out there. The mere fact of cases receiving multiple remedies does rather tell against the claimed principle that the simillillillillillium gets the case cured before your very eyes. So, which is it to be, are you useless practitioners or is it that the remedies do nothing?

Why does no one dare draw the conclusion that these cases are doing their own thing regardless of the number of doses of magic water they get? Oh, wait a minute the rest of us do draw that conclusion.

I think Hans was right, maybe you should organize a great wave of homeopaths to migrate through Africa curing all malaria in their path. That would shut us up!

If one doctor doctors another doctor does the doctor who doctors the doctor doctor the doctor the way the doctor he is doctoring doctors? Or does the doctor doctor the way the doctor who doctors doctors?

Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at an
Irish border checkpoint Paddy the officer stops them and tells them:
"It is illegal to put 5 people in a Quattro."
"What do you mean it is illegal?" asked the Englishmen.
"Quattro means four" replies Paddy.
"Quattro is just the name of the car," the Englishmen retorts disbelievingly. "Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons."
"You can not pull that one on me," replies Paddy
"Quattro means four. You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law."

The Englishmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call
your supervisor over - I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"

"Sorry," responds Paddy, "Murphy is busy
with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno.

Happy Christmas members.

Pain in my brain,
Tears in my ears, Almay, salmay, dalmay
Happy quackery and a good pray to the god of the sun MITRA, who is supposed to come in the night from the 24th to the 25the of december to save the world, these Christians only adopted the date and the story and changed the names--
Hi Ho Hi

Oh, we know all about the Solstice story, and how the Christians couldn't get anyone to come to their Christly birthday party in September!

As for me, glad the solstice is here--days will be getting longer, nights shorter.

Best of the season to all the quacks in the world, and to all their dazzled, placebo riddled patients. Blessed be!
