EoR Comes Out of the Closet

Tuesday's Mind&Body supplement with the West Australian newspaper brings its usual joys and enlightenments.

Homeopathic remedies (remember this is water) is a potent cure to baby ills.
Homeopathics are widely used to treat many conditions affecting babies and small children. This is often because homeopathic remedies are easy to administer, gentle on a baby's immature gut and natural therapists report quick results.

EoR agrees that water droplets are indeed easy to administer, gentle on a baby's gut, and quick resolution of a baby's gripes is probably also forthcoming. But a quick resolution is also possible without ingesting small amounts of water. Which also seems to be the opinion of the consulting homeopath, who obviously doesn't trust the power of magic alone:
Homeopath Jan Owen, of Owen Homeopathics, does not recommend that homeopathy take the place of medical care.

Meanwhile, the thoughtful readership are urged to "Declutter Yourself".
Clutter is the cause of negative energy, according to the Chinese philosophy of feng shui.

Negative energy in which way? At what spectrum? How do you measure this energy? And when has a belief that where you put the sofa will affect your soul become a full blown "philosophy"? Surely it's still just an unfounded folk belief?
Closets represent things that are hidden, unknown or unrecognised. When we fill our closets with clutter, we stifle our ability to be intuitive and insightful. Cluttered closets can indicate problems that you may not be consciously aware of but which impede your progress through life, work and relationships nonetheless. Keeping the closet door shut is not an effective solution.

EoR urges the huddled masses to come out of the closet and free yourselves and your lives. Who knows, you may never need to take another homeopathic remedy again.

  1. Clutter. Clutter. Clutter.

    A constant fight to declutter.

  2. "Eor .. you ASS"

    He, he. Nice one Adam :)

    But, on a serious note, does your physics research show that diluted onion will cure conjunctivitis because onions make your eyes water?

    Does it also show how homeopathic water only remembers beneficial properties of substances like arsenic so that it can only act as a healing agent and never as a toxin?

    I'd be interested to read about that since it's long perplexed me.

  3. Since you make appeal to education, I am sure you are also well aware that the weight of evidence is against homeopathy. When quoting studies promoted by homeopaths, you also need to remember that they have great difficulty in accurately assessing scientific studies.

  4. Blogspot has had some problems with comments recently. This comment seems to have disappeared and is reposted (slightly out of order) to make sense of this thread.

    Hey Eor .. you ASS ... me again !
    have you read of the physics research on homeopathic dilution and the aggregation of molecular material in bucky clusters ?
    I suppose not.
    How bout the effects of homeopathic concentrations of the refractive index of what you refer to as just plain old water ?
    I guess not.
    Maybe you need to become less of an Ass and more of a widely educated person before you run sites like yours

    PS I doo not manufacture homeopathic medicines. I just felt the need to give you more a bollocking as your stupidity and judgement sucks the big kahuna. In my opinion you are a dickhead.
