Dr Steven Novella says No!!

[footsy420]

That is a dangerous drug. You can OD. Too much water -well I'm no doctor but I know it can mess you up. It's not just drowning either. Drinking too much water can kill you too.

[grahrarog]

You are wrong!

Google: "EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration". :)

[presouz]

Novella is a fuck wit

[mphello]

Here's the problem to the rest of the world, or, more specifically, the non-England English-speaking world:

two individuals both with British accents are in a debate:

one says homeopathy works, the other doesn't.

BUT THEY BOTH HAVE BRITISH ACCENTS, WHICH GIVES EVERYTHING THEY SAY AN AIR OF AUTHORITY AND RESPECTABILITY!

Who do you choose?

:)

This is how it works in a debate:

British pro-homeopath, American from Louisiana anti-homeopath:

the homeopath wins

See?

[ThorGoLucky]

Ha!

[kamikrazi123]

Shoulda said it was magical elixir. People would've started drinking that right up

[whitetower67]

What a scam.

[tommyk77]

Steven Novella is so cool. Met him in Manchester this year and he was chatting with guests at the conference until 4am!

[excalipoor]

nice.



[smaakjeks]

Ah, but your cure is not a homeopathic one. The homeopathic cure for dehydration would be something that CAUSES dehydration diluted in water beyond clinical effect.

[thezoombini]

@smaakjeks Actually, tapwater is full ionized minerals which would cause dehydration if consumed in concentrated form. My only concern is that he didn't dilute his water enough; there's still active ingredient in there!

[smaakjeks]

@thezoombini

Right you are :-)

And yes, tapwater is far too concentrated in misc impurities for homeopathic purposes. Why, he won't get hydrated at all like that!

marry me

[TheHouse83]

HA!!!

[theonlyjonnybdead]

amazing!!!! 

[theUSER101]

I was about to freak out when you said you could prove that it works haha

[peterphillips73]

Check and mate.

[shhQuiet]

Don't laugh- Dihydrogen Monoxide kills thousands of people every year all around the world.

[journeyer58]

Great utter and complete sarcasm.

[marasmusine]

Did you dilute some cream crackers?

[Dracopol]

This is pretty stupid, and now gives me a fantastic urge to go listen to the soundtrack of the 1960's SPIDERMAN cartoons. Especially the long ones.

[McClinchey09]

I paid $100 bucks for instant water. I open it up and all it is, was a cup, with a note the note read "just add water".

[tobeyourselfisall]

Be careful with the dosage, powerful stuff you got there.

[sleepcity]

Mwahaha. And watch the joke fly over Mr. Benneth's head.

There it goes.

[Kingfillins]

Stay in England.

[teb0atoz]

Sarcasim is a great tool.

cheers



[manintheplanetoid]

Bravo. We need more like you to spread the amazing FACTS about homeopathy. Not to be nit-picky, you forgot to shake the magic elixer ten times each dimension. We wouldn't want some young person out there unfamiliar with homeopathic remedies to get a bad reaction to this amazingly powerful medicine. (tee-hee)

[bucketbot]

Good video sir!

Well done!

[dookdawg214]

Ha ha, good vid. However, I hope you diluted alcohol, sugar or cotton, or something that makes you thirsty. Remember, like cures like.

[bobbelheadedmidget]

LOL! Thanks for sharing Dave!

[derfisch78]

The homeopathic cure for thirst is water vapor. One part water vapor per trillion parts atmosphere.

[RoffeDH]

Wow... This is AWESOME!

[sennatrem]

Oh thank god... I was waiting for you to be like "YEAH AND IT TOTALLY WORKS!!!!!11!" Phew.

[hadr0n]

Very clever, but I think your invention goes against the homeopathic principle of "like cures like".

Also, you didn't tell us what 'potency' your tincture is or whether it had been properly 'succussed'. How can we be sure that it is genuinely working by the magical properties of homeopathy without this information?

:)

[Vyian]

Genius!

[Bazil]

I was getting a rebuttal all ready, then right before you pulled out the water I heard the slightest hint of sarcasm in your voice and I knew better =).
