Which is exactly why I am supporting a fantastic new campaign to raise awareness of the reality of homeopathy. They are gathering signatures for a open letter to Boots to ask them to remove homeopathic remedies from their shelves.

Homeopathy doesn’t work, it is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine that claims that the more you dilute something the more potent it becomes. Think about that for a second, its fucking stupid. I can only assume this madness hasn’t been generally accepted as just that because of the misinformation that is out there about it. Homeopaths jump on the hippy new age mamby pamby natural bollocky herbal bandwagon and hippy new age mamby pamby natural bollocky herbal people buy into it without knowing anything about it.  Its a shame because I’ve known some drug smoking, dreadlock wearing folk in my time and if you told them you were going to make their joints stronger by diluting the amount of cannabis with more tobacco they would laugh in your face and politely ask you to leave. Im going slightly off topic, go sign up to the campaign!
