223: Penis Problems & Water

[Eider Duck]

I feel like an alien, I'm learning stuff about homeopathy today that I never thought I would.

They do that. The ingredient they prescribe is something that will cause the symptom they are trying to cure. They prescribe arsenic homeopathic remedies for people who vomit a lot. They prescribe caffeine for people with insomnia. It's such obvious bullshit, but people who may or may not be my mother have spent an awful lot of money on it.

It's depressing when you put it that way. I mean, I mentioned arsenic and lead because those are elements that are present in water in trace (and safe amounts, as it's under legal limits most of the time.) By that logic, they may as well just recommend water. These homeopathy expert people are taking advantage of people who 1. are vunerable due to medical conditons and whatnot and 2. know nothing about the basics of science.

For the same reason you repeat a magic incantation an exact number of times rather than just once - because when you quantify something it makes it seem as if it's actually relevant.

Then obviously what is needed is some scented candles and a wand to make all of this work. And possibly an incantation that summons dragons.

Because water maintains a memory of what's been put inside of it, so it remembers the sulfur/arsenic/lead and then woobly joobly your pannis work sex time all time

Well shit, wish I knew that beforehand, maybe it can increase my pennis size if I use it right!

Goddammit, why do I always have to be playing Xenoblade X when I decide to listen to episodes that mention "Prone Masturbation"?

Elder Duck, you should watch this great documentary called What The Bleep Do We Know

I can tell from that clip that it's a great comedy documentary. It's going straight into the Netflix queue.

The only penis problem homeopathy can solve is not pissing enough

[Fanzay]

HOMEOPATHY? OKAY

[KingKalamari]

I learned that I have a lot of pre-conceived notions about people who believe in homeopathy and these dumb-dumbs have entirely reinforced that!

[Liatai]

Jesus christ child homeopathy isn't even funny, it's borderline child abuse

Animal homeopathy is just as bad, if not worse. At least with humans there's a slight chance of a placebo effect! Animals can't really benefit from a placebo effect, only their owners can! STOP GIVING YOUR DOG BACH FLOWER REMEDIES AND GET ANTIBIOTICS FOR THEIR RAGING UTI DAMN IT ARRRRRRGH I see so much of this idiocy as a petsitter.

Arrrrgh this episode made me so mad and sad. I hope against hope that most of these people saw a doctor, a dentist, and a therapist, ASAP.

Yeah, I keep seeing people recommend those flower remedies for anxiety in cats.  It doesn't do shite.

The guy with the swaybacked kid just needs to fucking wait.  Lots of little kids have godawful posture.  Mine was like that.

Yay! More Herb Alpert!

[ManMythLegend]

I'm pretty sure that site is Indian, which explains so much about the weird language issues. Saying you're "non-vegetarian" is a common thing in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh.

Almost all of the posts they read are almost certainly Indian because they are all textbook descriptions of Dhat Syndrome.  I almost felt bad for laughing at them so much.

[MyFaceBeHi]

Listening to the episode I could tell they are mostly Indian. I think this might deserve the tag Great Britain's Perverted Colonialism because only a former British colony that is oversatuated with eastern religions would be so heavily focused on the pannic size!

[Cheapskate]

Didja hear about the guy who forgot to take his homeopathic medicine and died of an overdose?

[Nook]

Come on, the reason homeopathy doesn't work for people is because they're not diluting their substances in the right kind of water. Put that shit in some Fred or Bling H2O and you can fucking kiss conventional medicine goodbye forever.

I might be crazy but I remember homeopathic drugs having advertisements on TV and being sold in drug stores as legit drugs. Goes to show how great our medical industry is. So yeah, when I was a teenager of course I knew it was shit diluted in water, but all this mainstream visibility lent it the credibility of something that was socially acceptable to be sold as medication. It's been years so I don't know if this is still the case as I don't even own a television.
