If homeopathy fades to oblivion, then there is just one more modality that came about to assist human health that was buried so that the powerful could have ALL the power, so that the rich could have ALL the riches, so that the allopaths could have ALL the patients. the forces of evil, AKA TOTAL CONTROL OF ALL THINGS, are predictably successful at splitting their competitors apart, to divide and conquer.

Always knew I should have been an advertising copywriter. SoH register = SO-Quack

Alliance of Registered Homeopaths =

AR(h)-Quack (again, silent “h”).

Damn. Always knew I should have been an advertising copywriter.

The SoH have already proved that they are totally incapable of regulating themselves - the very idea is a sick joke. They not only failed to deal with complaints from members of the public (JQH) but they broke their own code-of-ethics on their own website. “The beleaguered Society of Homeopaths have today gone on the offensive for total and unyielding control.”

Allow me to retort – or rather, to paraphrase:

“….We have no remit to take a view on whether a guy with two bent sticks that he sometimes claims to use for finding water can REALLY detect if you have a tumour by waving the stick at you and muttering.

..That is not for us to say.

We are merely tasked to look at the best way to ensure that, should you consult such a quacktitioner, you can be assured he belongs to a formally constituted association of dowsing energy quacks…”

I’m speechless.

Though I DO have one suggestion. If the SoH is ging to set up its own quack register, it can ONLY be called:

“SoH-quack” – the “H” is silent
