Homeopathy Week – Shouldn’t it be Diluted?

A blog is having fun with the idea of Homeopathy Week. While I would approach the whole idea as something that should be diluted down to nothing, this blog appears to think that if dilution is the cure favored by homeopaths, maybe ridiculous exposure is the solution to homeopathy.

Homeopathy Week!

I like it.

Homeopathy is making a big deal about hay fever. Probably because allergies are seasonal. In other words, they go away on their own. The homeopath can claim that the natural decrease of the pollen count leading to a a resolution of the hay fever symptoms is all his/her idea. A regular miracle worker.

There is one site that is claiming that they have a more interesting cure for hay fever.

Hay fever ‘could be cured by sex’ (Telegraph.co.uk)

I don’t know if that is a cure, but it certainly might distract from the symptoms.

The study might progress something like this:

Excuse me. We are surveying people about their hay fever.

I’m busy having intercourse. I don’t want to talk about hay fever.

Another hay fever victim saved by sex.

Not exactly the best research, but it is comparable to what is available supporting alternative medicine.

Homeopathy really is ridiculous.

Just be careful you don’t overdo it. Homeopathy might be toxic at larger doses of nothing.

Remember to always pay your homeopath in keeping with homeopathic principles – just a penny will do. The penny retains the memory of all of the other money that it has been with.
