One bonus of me being exposed to this situation was the fact that I received a copy of the instructions on how to take the "prescribed" homeopathic "medicine". In this particular case, the treatment was applied as part of the traumatic brain injury recovery.
The whole treatment was comprised of a few steps:
1. Interview, which seemed to me more like a cold reading, because it asked about various aspects of life, not related to the illness itself.
2. Purchase (for a rather steep price, given that you only get water) of a "medication", specifically formulated to help with the condition, as determined by the interview.
Now, take a look at the instructions and all the BS found in them:

I hope you get tons of laughs from this, as I did.
The only think that makes me furious is the fact that someone is paying a lot of money for this nonsense. As ff this is not enough, people very often stop using regular doctors and medications prescribed by them, and switch to those "alternative" methods, and that could lead to real problems. I wonder, why a complete BS like this is even allowed?
Good stuff! Those "instructions" are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI share your amazement that homeopathy is so widespread.
Unbelievable clap-trap!
ReplyDelete'Caffeinated coffee may antidote the treatment but other sources of caffeine won't' is possibly my favourite. No, hang on - it's "Hint: it's great for your plants!"
ReplyDeleteI would be genuinely proud to write a spoof that funny. However, something - perhaps experience of debating homeopaths - tells me that this is not a spoof.
