That is the definition of a pseudoscience. It should not be supported by the NHS, nor should the money to pay for it be taken out of British taxes. Anyone wanna disagree with me? Logged

British Taxes pay for it. Prince Phillip should burn for pushing it's entry into the NHS. Logged

Because they don't even now how it works. Hell, I don't think they think it even does work. If it did, they would have discovered their own branch of physics. That'd be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize! It'd make them famous and possibly/probably rich! If it works, they should be scrambling to find out how. Since they aren't, I doubt even they think it works.

Or maybe they just don't want Nobel's blood money, he discovered dynamite and gets a peace prize named after him? How does that work?

Anyway, I saw the poison-to-sugar ratio on one of those homeopathy bottles (like, 1 : 10,000,000), and I figured it couldn't be much more than a placebo. Logged

It's not just placebo.

It's the old idea that: If I'm having proper therapy for cancer (Kemo and whatnot), I'll feel like absolute S.H.I.T, because that's what the therapy does to you. Right before you feel better from it, you often feel at your worst. While at this short worst, I may seek out, for example, crystal healing in pure desperation. Now, shortly after recieving the crystal healing I start to feel better because the Kemo finally kicks in and kicks out the cancer.
What am I going to thank? The Crystal healing that did nothing or the Kemo that made me feel like !@#$%? It's scary how many people thank the crystal healing.

Alternate Therapies are like the stock market, you buy when a business is doing very poorly because they either fail miserably and you lose next to nothing (i.e the person dies) or they begin to climb back up and you gain lots (the person, for other reasons, recovers).
