		<description>I wonder if there are unopened boxes of H:MC21 badges sitting in someone&#039;s garage? And how close are they to their 250,000 bods doing their petition?

Oh, Louise Unclean is about to launch a campaign on her http://www.homeopathyheals.me.uk/ website. Bumper stickers this time. Professionally designed and everything! I hope she has a large garage.</description>

		<description>Well, there are plenty of homeopaths who claim to be able to cure named diseases. Including cancer and venereal disease. And the SoH seems to do nothing, but not as little nothing as the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths or the Homeopathic Medical Association.</description>

		<description>&quot;there are three possibilities why you are doing it&quot;

you should apply that kind of reasoning to the cases you see and try and rule out possible alternative explantions for the things you report. you may even start to empathise with people instead of resorting to unfounded accusations.</description>

&quot;Scientifically it can not yet be explained precisely how it works, but new theories in quantum physics are going some way towards shedding light on the process.&quot;

		<description>Yesalem, why is it so hard for you to understand that anecdotes are not and cannot be &quot;evidence&quot;? Do you want to hear an anecdote of mine? Here we go:

As a teenager I often had a blocked-up nose and an otorhinolaryngologist told me that I most likely had to have nasal polyps removed. He said that sometimes those polyps could be treated with nose drops and prescribed some. I was supposed to use the drops for some months and then come and see him again to make the decision whether surgery was necessary or not. 
The first time I used the drops I took too much and they ran down the pharynx. It both felt and tasted so disgusting that I couldn&#039;t use the drops for a second time, so I was convinced that the polyps would need to be removed, but when I saw the ORL again he was very pleased with the effect the drops had had (I didn&#039;t tell him that I never used them) and told me that I didn&#039;t need surgery.
I was lucky and now I only have a blocked-up nose when I catch a cold. Doesn&#039;t mean that nobody needs their polyps removed or that the nose drops work wonders and only need to be used once or anything like that. 
If the ORL had given me some sugar pills instead I&#039;m sure I wouldn&#039;t have had any problems to take them for a few months and the result most likely would have been the same. Except for one thing: people like you would tell me that this is proof for homeopathy&#039;s efficacy.</description>

		<description>Can I just confirm what you are saying here? If someone who was due to have an operation for appendicitis came to you and your colleagues you would recommend that they did not have the procedure, but used homoeopathic remedies instead? 
If someone who was due to have an operation for a malignant tumour came to you and your colleagues, you would recommend that they did not have the procedure, but used homoeopathic remedies instead? 
If someone who was due to have a C section (for a medical reason, not as an elective procedure) came to you and your colleagues, you would recommend that they did not have the procedure, but used homoeopathic remedies instead? 
(I&#039;ve listed each of these separately, so you can reply separately).</description>
