From Quackometer: Homeopaths really believe they hold a sacred truth about healing. They are stuck in one of philosopher Stephen Law’s intellectual black holes. They are so surrounded by their anti-intellectual justifications and myths that there is no escape back through the event horizon of delusion and back into the real world. Full article at: [...]
Excellent Quackometer post about the new “media code for homeopaths”: The Media Code for Homeopaths http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2011/02/the-media-code-for-homeopaths.html I think that there’s something immoral here, especially in the code’s advice to reference the Cuban Leptospirosis study despite the fact that the study has been shown to be worthless from a scientific perspective; I would call this fraud. [...]
What is it with homeopaths that they insist on peddling bullshit? Murderous homeopaths in Haiti http://www.dcscience.net/?p=3710 DC used the word “delusional”. Spot on. Article by Kulvinder Singh Matharu – 2010
Homeopathy has been shown to be garbage and drivel. And homeopaths know that. If they don’t know it then they are incompetent. Regardless that they be unethical, liars or incompetent it is clear these horse-shit pedlars need to be constrained in what they do and what they say. The Quackometer article The Futility of Finding [...]
The Quackometer article “The Society of Homeopaths, Richard Barr and MMR” explains the unethical behaviours of The Society of Homeopaths. I’d even call these behaviours immoral. Article by Kulvinder Singh Matharu – 2010

The finding raises questions about a key principle of a strong democracy: that a well-informed electorate is best. Full article is here: In Politics, Sometimes The Facts [...]
Fantastic! This has already been posted at a number of other blogs recently, and I think that this was originally on the BBC. Dara O’Briain explains, with humour, what he really thinks of pseudo-scientists, preachers of woo woo and other modern witch-doctors. Great line "homeopath horseshit peddler". And "psychics, astrologers and priests" all get the [...]
The Quackometer has an article that describes William Alderson’s (ill-written) response to Ernst & Singh’s book "Trick or Treatment: Medicine on Trial". The article is at http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2009/04/homeopaths-attempt-to-rubbish-ernst-and.html
The Quackometer has an interesting article about the financial state of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) humorously known as Ofquack: http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2009/03/will-government-bail-out-ofquack.html It shouldn’t have surprised me but, in hindsight it now seems obvious, Ofquack is very much dependent upon fees from particular practitioners of pseudoscience…the dreaded witch-doctors known as homeopaths. Ofquack is a [...]
