Russia Declares Homeopathy "dangerous 'pseudoscience' that does not work"

RE: Russia Declares Homeopathy "dangerous 'pseudoscience' that does not work"
I remind you all of the 10:23 campaign's mass homeopathic overdose demo that Sam and I did back in 2010. Not even an upset stomach for either of us.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

and why doesn't sea water cure everything ?

If one is dropped naked in the icy ocean, I am 100% sure that would cure all illnesses in a few minutes.

I still think homeopathic based government fiscal stimulus spending could have achieved the same affect Obama got by sending a check for $8.73 to Esther Samuelson, Soddy Daisy, Kentucky.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Interestingly, after the overdose we all retired to the pub, where the wifi was almost nonexistent - which should, homeopathically, have meant an incredibly strong signal.

It didn't.

Have I mentioned the homeopathic movers ?

They go to your old house and grab an ashtray and take it to your new place. All the rest of your stuff will spontaneously appear there shortly afterwards via quantum teleportation.

Ok, that was comedy. But this isn't, and it makes me fucking angry:





The 'doctor' at this joke of a hospital needs to be struck off.

Hope they were not to expensive because their effectiveness is highly questionable. (google name and webMD for a start). These fall under CAM (complementary and alternative medicine). 

Just because a doctor promotes them does not make the legit.

If this were my surgeon I'd start looking for another.

I think that natural remedies are not studied much or put through expensive studies because they cannot be patented and therefore there is not enough money to be made.

I say this fully knowing that there is allot of charlatanism in this field, however, ask yourself why the pharma industry failed to discover that CBD in cannabis is so effective in treating seizures? If they could have found a treatment that effective that they could patent it, it would have quickly been brought to market.
I'm not even blaming the pharma industry for this. They are there to make a profit and it is not their obligation to study a plant that anyone can grow. (referring here to non illegal plants like ginseng)

So back to Russia. In this case I think that the govt there is probably being paid lots of money by drug companies. While I'm not a fan in general of homeopathy, I would only want the govt to intervene in extreme cases. Other than that, people should be allowed to take stuff that they feel benefit them even if there is no science to back it up. And I'm a science nerd.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.

Does Russia still license faith healers? I couldn't find anything current.
