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: [...]
DC’s Improbable Science has an article about the strange decisions made by the Science Museum for an exhibit on medicine. Unfortunately it seems that the Science Museum has ended-up promoting anti-science. Coupled with their PR statements it seems that the Science Museum doesn’t actually know what Science is. The Science museum promotes anti-science in a [...]

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.
