Title: Homeopathy
Post by: Tom S. Fox on November 18, 2008, 01:32:35 PM
Hey, could you make an episode about Homeopathy?
It's amazing how many people take this seriously!

Edit: I found this YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/HomeopathicDana), which should supply you with material.

I have the Horizon episode on homeopathy. It's a pretty sound debunking. I'd like to think of a good demo I could do to help people visualize what it really means to delete something to 30C.

Not in this next batch. I need a really good woo video to debunk.

Well, we know THAT won't work, and that's a good thing!

Does this topic include stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3hy3P0W2BU ("Chakra Clearing with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)")?
Look at the description's bottom area for this FAQ: 
"Q: I am a skeptic! / You are a charlatan!
A: Thanks. Tapping is perfectly explainable scientifically but it does go beyond most people's understanding. It really does work though, and the best way to prove that to yourself is to try it and watch your negative feelings disappear."
Note how he provides ZERO backing evidence for this claim.
