Homeopaths have offered their services to prevent and treat Ebola in west Africa, claiming their “remedies” can work in serious epidemics of infectious disease.
“Homeopaths worldwide have been mobilising their efforts toward gaining entrance in those countries affected,” the National Center for Homeopathy in the US said on its website. “The overriding goal is to investigate Ebola firsthand, and thereby determine which remedy or remedies are best for treating this disease.”
The organisation claims that homeopathic remedies have been used successfully in other disease epidemics in the past, naming cholera, diphtheria and hepatitis among others.
I am very happy for as many homeopaths as possible to investigate Ebola first hand.
John got there first. If they set up a Kickstarter or a Justgiving for the air fares, I’ll even throw in some money.
Possibly not-to-be revealed preferences?
I’d not worry. Their mumbo-jumbo would just get lost in the mountain of mumbo-jumbo that already exists in those parts.
For politicians and thieves, but I repeat myself, an inch, or inch and a half, diameter oiled hempen rope is considered appropriate. For homeopaths would a cotton thread suffice?
No need to fly them there. Bring some Ebola virus to Pfizer, inject the, with a bit, and then let them cure themselves, whole thing to be broadcast live on the net.
Anyone noticed that John Humphrys hasn’t been back to Liberia recently?
Out of interest, would their be a homeopathic method of hanging homeopaths? I’m thinking you’d have to cut the rope into smaller & smaller pieces until there wasn’t any rope. Reduce the drop by smaller & smaller increments until they were standing on the floor. But their necks would spontaneously snap anyway because of………homeopathy?
The great thing about sending in Homeopaths Without Borders is that when they need to get paid you can just give them water from a wishing well which retains the memory of all the money.
“just give them water from a wishing well which retains the memory of all the money.”
Don’t go giving the central banks ideas, that’s just the next phase on from fractional reserve banking. Which I will now refer to as homeopathic banking.
Evidence-free ‘medicine’? Whatever next…evidence-free equalidee?…
