    Dr. Steve Novella is an absolute legend. A great consumer advocate and eriodite polymath.

    The gentleman who decided to take the entire bottle of the homeopathic remedy, didn't consume it properly. It's supposed to dissolve under the tongue.

    This might have been the time that I realized that the audience wasn't given a mic.
