Proving homeopathy wrong in your kitchen

Another vid on homeopathy with home experiments proving that there is nothing in it. In this vid I show how nitric acid reacts with copper metal and forms copper (II) nitrate solution and nitrogen dioxide and how to make a simple pH indicator.

@scunner3rd I am from boro and my god do I love parmos. What did u think of it?

[JoeKillzaghe]

As I am only an A level Chem student I'm not exactly drowning in expertise yet. So why on the diagram you showed are the cyclic parts of the molecule containing three double bonds instead of a benzene ring???

[powerm1985]

@JoeKillzaghe Do you mean why did I not just draw a circle inside? You can do both but when showing mechanism especially rearrangements its always best to draw the 3 DB.

They should develop a drink (preferably alcoholic) that looks like a penny dissolving in nitric acid. That'd be pretty awesome :D

My mom is a homeopath and i have studied what goes in to it. And i thought it was literally bs and my mom was an idiot, but even though she thinks it works she told me that if she feels the patient is really ill to go to a real doctor. So i think they sell the placebo effect to ppl who really don't have any medical problem so that they have piece of mind about it. But its sick that some ppl really believe that crap, and i can see how this could be dangerous.

@2lasiiJAkuppi

some like your mum do and I'm glad about that but I've seen people who push or take alternative medicine 'too far,' refusing to take or let their kids take real medicine when sick or encouraging people not to; c0nc0rdance did a few videos on kids who died as a result of this and i'm sure you've seen news stories on it too. It's probably the minority, but these things can lead to harm depending on how seriously it's being pushed (i doubt most people would not call a dr).

Did you do the burning stuff and seeing what colour the flame went experement?

That was my first one at school in year 7 %__%

@JoeKillzaghe

hard to draw a curly arrow from a circle and show what bond is breaking / reacting with something ;P

My friend from Middlesbrough made me my first Parmo the other day! ^^

I got a reference and feel inordinately proud.

@RascoJr I don't know about the ones in the UK, but here in the US, the current pennies in use have a zinc core, and are only coated in copper, but you can find pennies that are solid copper. I don't remember what year it is, but before a certain year, they were all made of copper.

Everyone know that homeopathic medicine only works if you put it in your butt. That's how homeopathy works. Up the butt.

[Skaarjguy]

Sorry, uhhh.... was the lemon with the fire symbol on it a reference to anything? Like a certain Cave Johnson, perhaps?

[zacthebold]

Where does one get the sodium hydroxide?

@wawei67 You must know that your various arguments are bullshit... I can't believe anyone could be as stupid as you sound. "that's why all the patients in the first world are defecting to 'natural' cures" Natural cures that were tested and work became medicine idiot. Willow bark = aspirin for example. Homeopathy has been tested many many times by various people and the effects are only as good as placebo's. Ignoring evidence like you are doing is the sign of a fanatic.
