    @booboo my comment was largely tongue in cheek...one of my neighbours is a Homeopath, and some of the shit she comes out with 🤣

    C'mon cut her some slack. Human excrement is a well known homeopathic remedy for everything from cold sores to cancer

    @jegga
    A level 10 tertiary Doctoral Degree was required to obtain the title 'doctor' in New Zealand.

    Rehan's Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bihar University in India only translates to a level seven graduate diploma, certificate or bachelors degree.

    Rehan said Dr Preet was simply a nickname to avoid confusion over the pronunciation of his name, but he was free to use the title as it had been awarded to him in India.

    "Why is it a problem?" he asked Stuff.

    At the risk of upsetting people who don't understand why generalisations tend to exist, none of that surprises me.

    @booboo that's actually a pretty funny read. 35 shows is astonishing though. That's not even including the spirit weekends!

    with regard to that Psychic article above, that is on dangerous ground as Hypnotherapists, EFT etc...these guys are doing stuff on Skype with people in other countries, particularly the US, so opens a whole can of legal worms there.

    Think I have mentioned in this thread, some of these ones claim to be able to 'cure' allergies (such as nut allergies)

    @jegga I am sure there will be those out there who see this guy in the same way they see Andrew Wakefield, regardless of being found guilty

    Having your two most famous customers die can't be good for sales

    In 2016 rugby legend Sir Colin Meads claimed drinking Te Kiri Gold cured his pancreatic cancer, a statement he later walked back. He died in 2017.

    The reality TV handyman John 'Cocksy' Cocks was also a fan of Te Kiri Gold before he died of kidney cancer in February.

    Beauty Industry Part of Foreskin Flesh Trade, Anti-Circumcision Activists Warn

    Beauty Industry Part of Foreskin Flesh Trade, Anti-Circumcision Activists Warn

    'Intactivists' claim the cosmetic use of neonatal foreskins is fuelling a tissue-sale underworld, with hospitals and governments in on the act. Do they have a point, or is this trend no more than skin deep?

    Ffs, I see scientists are suggesting theres an increasing likelihood of a link between gut biomes and autism. Wakefield stopped clock moment was suggesting there might be too, look at the way he went about proving it

    The homeopathic pills, made from ground-up pieces of the Berlin Wall, supposedly help overcome ‘emotional barriers’, and are available at the royal family’s pharmacy of choice

    These guys are doing their best to make sure measles is a big thing. I wonder if the staff are immunized? Or do they just take a yearly mistletoe treatment too?
