Australian skeptics take homeopathic drugs for suicide

[vcrepair]

I saw this on James Randi website www.randi.org

A group of skeptics in Australia took several
homeopathic "sleeping pills" that did not affect them
the way normal drugs would have.

How can homeopaths prove that homeopathic medicine
works and win the million dollar prize James Randi
offers for PROOF of the paranormal?

MASS SUICIDE IN AUSTRALIA

Richard Saunders, President of the Australian
Skeptics, informs us:
The Australian Skeptics' national convention is over
for another year. Our guest and keynote speaker was
none other than Dr. Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer. We
soon discovered that Dr. Plait is anything but bad.
His moon hoax talk was a highlight of the convention.

Another highlight was the successful failure of a
Homeopathic Mass Suicide. Before the convention, we
marched into a Sydney Pharmacy, yes, a pharmacy, and
bought almost $100 worth of worthless sleeping pills.
Then, as you can see in the photo, Prof. Colin Keay,
Dr. David Brookman, myself, Barry Williams, Dr. Phil
Plait, Peter Bowditch and Dr. Steve Roberts (not
pictured) took the lot. We ate enough sleeping pills
each that we should now all be dead.
The point, apart from showing once again that this
stuff is rubbish, was to also remind the audience that
some parents actually try to vaccinate their babies
with "Homeopathic Vaccines". This could indeed have
deadly consequences.

Back in 1997, I think it was, my colleague Andrew
Harter and I were invited to Washington to speak to
some congressional folks about homeopathy, and as part
of my talk, I downed 64 homeopathic sleeping tablets ?
designated dose "2 tablets every 4 hours, as needed."
The demo got some attention, but still nothing was
done by that congress. Seems that others ? such as
these Aussies and a Belgian group recently ? have
latched on to that stunt. Maybe, eventually, the
agencies will wake up...? (Pun intended.)

I'd hate to see what happened to them afterwards when they started proving
those pills. LOL

Well...they work alright...thats for sure. Of course
taking them all (even a thousand pills per person) at
one go will not even harm a little child / rat etc.

IF they did that for suicide , that shows how much
they know of the system. It would have just increased
their blood sugar level...and of course given them a
goodnight sleep

It will not prove itself...as we all know...unless...
( i am not mentioning ). Well...dear homoeopaths...
have a good laugh at this scenario on suicide

Blessed Be,

Hello VC repair or whoever you are,
Why do you bore the group with these "provocative
utterances" ? I think Ardhavan might now have
realised with what sort of 'intention' your mails are
posted. Don't waste our time. If you have energy, go
ahead and fight Randi.
