The Homeopathic A & E
Respectful Insolence — Who (or what) is Orac? orac.jpg Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here ...

Better Health —

Homeopathic A & E
Science-Based Medicine — I love the British comedy duo Mitchell and Webb, and this is just one reason why. They totally get homeopathy, as this video e-mailed to me by a reader demonstrates: Pay close attention to the signs in the A & E. No doubt Dana Ullman will show up to cry foul over how Mitchell and Webb ...

Homeopathy 101
Pleiotropy — This is simply too good not to share. It's like a complete lesson on homeopathy, only it's also funny."Bottle of basically just water in one hand, and a huge invoice in the other."They covered it all.Via Bruce M. Hood.

Homeopathetic
Bad Astronomy — I can rant and rail against homeopathy, how it’s useless, how it’s nothing more than water, how there is no real methodology or mechanics behind it, how it’s been shown over and over not to have any efficacy over the placebo effect… … but sometimes simple mockery is the best way to sway people’s hearts. Tip o’ the 30C vial to Bruce hood at SuperSense.

If homeopathy were actually practiced by your doctors…

ER, homeopath style
White Coat Underground — Yes, every skeptic on the web has posted this, but it is irresistible. Remember, yanks, that A&E; in the UK is not a boring cable TV channel but what they call an ER. Read the comments on this post...

Quacks in the ER
Sandwalk — Quacks in the ER Here's what the emergency room would look like if homeopathy and naturopathy became real medicine instead of alternative medicine. [Hat Tip: Pharyngula ]

Oh, just watch it!

Homeopathic ER
Sciencebase Science Blog — Last week, I heard Simon Singh at the World Conference of Science Journalists discussing the state of England’s libel laws, chiropractic, and more. At least I assume that’s what he was discussing, the acoustics in the conference centre were terrible and he seemed to be showing a Katie Melua video at one point, and my aging aural cavities really couldn’t cope. Regardless, there is growing support for Singh’s defence against the British Chiropractic Association who somehow managed to sue him for libel against their organisation. I always thought it was only individuals that could be libelled not organisations. In an ...

Hi-f****g-larious!
A scientist's life — skip to main | skip to sidebar A scientist's life Diary of a postdoctoral scientist, who works tirelessly in a lab somewhere. Wednesday, July 08, 2009 Hi-f****g-larious! I came across this gem from That Mitchell and Webb Look via The Pipeline . (Thanks to Nick K for commenting, as I would have never watched it, since I don't have a working telly) I wasn't really a fan of Peep Show , and was really not sure about M&W, but that...homeopath(et)ic A&E is great!!

Dr. Steven Knope on “Integrative Medicine”
Think Gene — I would like to take this moment and remind readers that the Think Gene Certificate of Decision is still for sale. On a sliding scale of evidence (which I, too, have long been advocating), there is no potential that this certificate will cause you harm. Thus, I am only held responsible to that same level of efficacy. This is true because medicine is expensive. (Email me for a discount code up to 95% off retail. We now also provide Certificates of Allergy Elimination under special circumstances for select customers.) ...

It's not exactly brain surgery, is it? — Respectful Insolence
While I"m on a Mitchell and Webb kick and it's still a slow blogging holiday weekend, this isn't about homeopathy but it does skewer a certain profession: You know, I can sort of picture Dr. Michael Egnor (a younger version, of course) being the brain surgeon in this sketch...  ...
