TEN23 1023 Skeptics Overdose on Homeopathy

[CthuluPrawn]

ewww .. doctor pepper. I feel sorry for you.

[Thornbrier]

@CthuluPrawn Dr Pepper is the most agnostic beverage. lol.

[Tamizushi]

Lol I just love that you got funded back.

1) According to homeopathy, taking a lot of the pills would be less effective.

2) What about the caffeine in those sodas? Or the carbon dioxide. I bet they affected the remedies, making them null. Sure, that's it.

3) You just have to believe homeopathy works. The placebo effect is just a myth created by big pharma. It's a conspiracy!

So there! :)

[InnocuousRemark]

Obviously the laws of homeopathy mean that if you take extra pills, the effect will be diminished. This explains why you survived. If you had taken only one pill, you would have achieved the desired effect. If you had taken no pills, you would have overdosed and died.

[InnocuousRemark]

@InnocuousRemark Likewise everything I have not said and will not say proves homeopathy and everything else I agree with. So there.

3:48 Is he waving his dick to the camera?!

[themark462]

Oh no, Ross and Carrie... er.. I mean Jen

[xpda]

dilute, not distill.

[Dasachi]

i call bullshit, on both people while they are chewing. the film cuts out and cuts back in. You can clearly see where he stopped recording and began again.How do we know that when the camera was off, they didnt spit them all out. Im not saying that Homeopathy is real. Hell ive never heard of it till now. But this footage can be disclaimed easily.

[skepticallypwnd]

@Dasachi Well, yeah, we have been having a little trouble getting our study published in the New England Journal of Medicine... It's was just a fun demonstration, you DOUCHE! I'm sure you would have loved a 15 minute film of people chewing, perv :)

[Dasachi]

@skepticallypwnd Yes! i would have. i love watching people chew.

[Flain33]

You shouldn't do this, some of these tablets contain "Titanium Dioxide" (Calms etc..) which is known to cause intestinal cancer in rats. James Randi did this all the time but he was diagnosed last year with intestinal cancer for which he had to go through chemotherapy, he is NOT a Dr. While homeopathic remedies might not do what's stated on the bottle, they can and do contain dangerous ingredients which when taken in large quantities can poison you.

[ultramarinegoat]

Heard on the SGU today, Steven Novella: Take the sickest man on Earth, distil him down and you should have the miracle cure for all diseases.

[evirustheslaye]

@ultramarinegoat given the water cycle and humanity's propensity to sweat salivate and urinate any water source would already be a homeopathic cure.

[ultramarinegoat]

@evirustheslaye ah yes but at each dilution the miracle of succussion must be performed following the rite or else it's not charged in holy vitality and energies.

[CrimsonRefractions]

@evirustheslaye

That's bullocks, it's not diluted enough to work!

Hey wait a minute! I detect a problem here somewhere... ^^

[ultramarinegoat]

Ah, Boiron 30CH.  My favorite booze!

[holyrivs999]

Yes because all of what they just took is fake stuff sold in a store that is why nothing there will ever work ... so sad for those

[Tlincalin]

@holyrivs999 Because as we all know the real stuff works...NOT! Homeopathy does nothing and it does nothing really well.

[rrpostalagain]

@holyrivs999 Why would the fake stuff sold in a "store" work any differently than fake stuff sold somewhere else? The point is that homeopathy is fake stuff.

[arttubelady]

ye gods, where are your mothers to tell you not to do this????

[fhcnpr]

But the real fun comes after drinking the liquid dilution. And keep the ambulance ready before duing that !!!!!

[fhcnpr]

Instead of taking the medicated tabs, you could have gulped the liquid dilutions of homeopathy. Hope you will try this next time!!!

[copyncredit]

@fhcnpr umm, yeah, agreed, but watching someone take a drink of water is not quite as fun and interesting as having them chew a hundred pills.

[fhcnpr]

The skeptics are giving more popularity to Homeopathy!!!!



[BohemianBlasphemy]

Skepticism, apply directly to the gullible.

[thplatypus]

Oh yeah, I meant to say "diluted", not "distilled". But you get the idea. There's no active ingredient.

[versionIV]

@thplatypus I suppose if it were distilled, it might have been a more successful sleep aid... I can recall a number of distilled beverages in the past that helped me.

Seriously though, it would be nice if these kinds of nonsense based products weren't able to make so much money. Great video, all!

[SpookyFan]

Nice.

[MagnusIan]

It's funny watching the homeopathic idiots try and explain how it works. They have absolutely no scientific knowledge whatsoever.
