10:23 homeopathy overdose, Manchester

At 10:23am on January 30th, more than three hundred homeopathy sceptics nationwide took part in a mass homeopathic 'overdose' in protest at Boots' continued endorsement and sale of homeopathic remedies, and to raise public awareness about the fact that homeopathic remedies have nothing in them. I filmed the Manchester 'overdose'.

All participants appeared to suffer no ill-effects following the 'overdose'.

So tell me, you folk who believe in homeopathy, when you have diabetes, do you rely on your sugar pills? When you (and I wouldn't wish this on anyone) are diagnosed with cancer, do you take sugar pills?

Or do you go to a doctor and get some real treatment.

Or do you continue taking sugar pills until it's too late for a doctor to do anything for you, then blame the doctor for not curing you.

@haifischfrauen nothing happens when you take lots of homeopathic pills. James Randi does it all the time on stage.

There's a reason it's not medicine.

[haifischfrauen]

well..it works and it is cheaper than to stuff all the doctors with your good money...but go ahead...stuff it...i am shure you will run to a homeopathic doctor when your deadly sick and try everything!! you didn´t understand any thing at all and it will proof you wrong at one day....

@DrNancyMalik

Please cite double blind placebo controlled clinical trials please from a respected scientific journal. Otherwise you have nothing and are making shit up.

@elmnopq46 The beauty of it? are you mad? it is WATER...nothing more, nothing less. They should spend those millions on proven cancer treatments not presently funded by the NHS as not considered cast effective.

HOMEOPATHY = PILE OF SHIT. Fact!!

[DrNancyMalik]

Real is scientific homeopathy. It cures even when Conventional Allopathic Medicine (CAM) fails. Evidence-based modern homeopathy is a nano-medicine bringing big results for everyone

@elmnopq46

it doesn't work like conventional medicine

It doesn't work and therefore isn't conventional medicine, and so doesn't belong in a pharmacy.

(and I'm one of the protesters)
