I am way to shy to really say it..(VBG>

Here is an article about a homeopathy protest movement. More about it
at the site

http://www.newscientist.com/article/...none-dead.html
In part:

"No ill effects were reported by hundreds of volunteers who took part
in a mass-overdose stunt around the world to demonstrate that
homeopathic remedies are nothing more than sugar pills.

"There were no casualties at all, as far as I know," says Martin
Robbins, spokesman for the "10:23" campaign, created to highlight the
alleged ineffectiveness of homeopathic remedies.

"No one was cured of anything either," says Robbins. Like an estimated
300 volunteers in several cities in the UK, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and the US, he swallowed a bottleful of around 80 homeopathic
"pillules" at exactly 10.23 am on Saturday. Each pillule is a tiny
sugar pill dabbed with a drop of a homeopathic remedy, produced
through "infinite" dilution – the process whereby a solution is
diluted to the point where no molecules of an active component are
likely to remain.

Robbins says that the aim of the stunt was to draw attention to
homeopathic medicine's lack of scientific foundation and to embarrass
the British high-street pharmacist Boots into withdrawing its
treatments from sale."

Ouch!

I wound up in physical thereapy for a month after what I did to my
neck on an ab bench and with freeweights.

I am not against all alternative medicine. There is a lot of
interesting stuff out there, but homepathy, very specifically, is not
one.

People are gullible and there are those who will go out of their way
to profit from that very thing. Barnum was right.
