a quick thought on homeopathy


As readers of this blog will know or at least suspect, I am a fan of the margins of things. I like the margins of science, the margins of religion, the margins of nerdiness.

This fondness for the margins extends to alternative medicine - or atleast some forms of it. I recently was struck by this thought regarding homeopathy.

"I have a nut allergy, one seasame seed in a bread roll can give me anaphylactic shock; so why should homeopathy be any different?"

Just a thought...
