Read this article about the 'miracle' homeopathic substance Aulterra. And then try not to laugh. Or do you believe it?

Homeopathy is just stupid: If you put 0.0000000000001 ml of influenza in 100.000.000 liters of water, it's not going to make you more or less sick.

None for me thanks.....I need all the toxins I can get.


And is it really true that energy cant be "created''? Like say I rub my hands together or rub on something and get a static charge going? Have I not technically created a little energy or is it not considered creating energy because it could be considered to already be there , just not in kinetic form? Say its all potential energy? I dont think I explained that very well but I havent been up long so I can be excused.

When you rub something and get a static charge I think it's because you've shifted charged particles that were already present into a concentrated area. Or something. But the energy not being created or destroyed thing is definitely true within a closed system - it's the first law of thermodynamics I think.

The best bit of the entire article is that they manage to get from quantum coherence to radiance (fair enough there) and then from radiance to Jesus!

Homopaths are unatural sinners. they are posesed by Satan, and the want to rape your children.
Bwaha. I stole Drunk Commies' fake personality.

To be serious, homeopathy sounds to me like a total load of bunk. Diluting it a lot, then claiming it has much greater effect? Bah.
There was a hilarious spoof article in Skeptic magazine about a homeopathic poisoner, I wish there was an online copy of it or something, but there isn't. Grr.

In 1988, Lockheed Martin conducted another study to determine if Aulterra could neutralize radioactive elements. After six months, Aulterra successfully reduced the gamma radiation of the control substance by 80%.

And let me guess, the half-life of the radioactive substance they used was around 2.58 months? :p
