Be aware, be very aware… of homeopathy
Sugar pills†
If you haven’t given it much thought recently, well this is the week when perhaps you should, because it is homeopathic awareness week, brought to you by your caring friends at the British Homeopathic Association.
To learn about homeopathy, its origins and the fact that there is no scientific basis to justify its claims, I will direct you to Dr. Steven Novella’s excellent post on the subject, over at the Skeptic Blog.
Armed with this wealth of information, go out and make others aware of the truth behind homeopathy. Perhaps you can educate a friend who loves their child dearly and yet treats their ills with these otherwise empty sugar pills, or an ageing relative on a tight budget, who occasionally tries these so called remedies when nothing else seems to work. Lets make it a homeopathic education week.
