Turns out Homeopathy does work.

[Napkiraly]

These drugs would have to be very powerful to make homeopathy look credible.

They were powerful enough to make Germans have fun.

Germans know how to have fun, it just tends not to be fun for the rest of Europe.

[The Alexanderians]

I'm not sure how the title matches the OP. How was this homeopathy working? Or... did I miss a joke?

I think the golden ticket is them being able to recover due to getting actual, real medical help rather than their woo.

Woo? As in Shen Gong Woo?

[Risottia]

Remember: homeopathic remedies can by definition not be made by an old lady in a shed. It requires factories to achieve the dilution and exact magic shaking.

That's what Big Homeopa wants you to believe! Free Homeopathy! Go hedge wizardry and home-diluted snake oil!

S O U R C E

Writing "S O U R C E" doesn't make one.

You can't fucking overdose on homeopathic nonsense.

Which proves it's safe, hence much better than non-homeopathic nonsense.

You are making negative sense.

If I'm making negative sense by applying homeopathic thinking, it means that I'm actually making a working nonsense via homeopathy, and you appear to be getting high on it. Ta-daa!

Dilution to the point of homeopathic qualities = Can't overdose. Can't even trip.

That's what the non-homeopatic drug dealers want you to believe.

Pure or nearly pure = Overdose possible and likely.

Then again there's no mistaking a pure oil for a watery beverage. Unless they were already tripping on something else that had left a memory in the water earlier.

2C-E is colorless and quite likely the taste and smell are not strong - if there was a station where they served something like punch, it could easily have been poured in undiluted.

Once it's poured into a punch, it becomes diluted in a punch (which is for the most part water, btw). See?


Also, see, my sarcasm isn't working on you because it isn't diluted enough! Another win for the homeopathic principles!

[Kubra]

Exactly. That's why it was homeopathic. It was diluted to hide it, and we all know how homeopathy claims that greater dilution increases the effects, because of water memory.
They all got overdoses from it, hence, it must have been diluted a lot: of course, if a principle is more concentrated, it is less diluted, hence less effective, which proves that the drugging couldn't have happened if it had been pure.

Really, you should start thinking homeopathically if you want to understand homeopathy!

naw every compound that involves shulgin tastes like ass

[AiliailiA]

Sounds like good shit. But of course people should not be dosed up without their informed consent.

[MERIZoC]

Legalize acid German homeopathy.

But um, does this actually say anything about this drug being homeopathic? (whatever the fuck that means nowadays)

[Ifreann]

Look, here's how I'll put my case. In the first world, where medication is common and cheap, it's generally a bad idea to spend money on things that aren't scientifically sound or nesscisarily medicaly proven. But not everyone has that privalege. Would you tell tell someone who's dying and can't get treatment that the thing he's been drinking is fake?

Tim Minchin said it best... you know what they call alternative medicine that has actually been proved to work?

A scam by big pharma.

[Fireye]

As I said, not everyone has access to medicine.

That doesn't make homeopathy, acupuncture, reiki, cupping, traditional Chinese "medicine" or any other types of woo magically work in areas where medicine isn't readily available.

Ironically TCM isn't even traditional medicine, but a phenomenon of pseudo-cultural revival from the last 60 years.

[Sociobiology]

especially when talking about something as nonsensical as homeopathy.

Now, that's not fair.

In defence of homeopathy, there's only a tiny, tiny amount of nonsense in a huge, huge amount of sense.

Which, unfortunately means it's extremely diluted... and thus a million times stronger.

its all nonsense, anything they run across that actually works at all is by pure random chance, which means in the long run they do far more harm than good.
Thee methods make no sense, hence they are nonsense.

Yup.

[Esternial]

Probably didn't dilute it enough.

Probably didn't dilute it enough.

Or maybe we've just not been diluting it in the right stuff.

Time to try homeopathy but diluting stuff with tequila and/or rum.

I recommend diluting vermouth in gin or vodka for a homeopathic martini.

Remember, to be homeopathic it has to be shaken, not stirred.
