Rhys's father, and my other three regular readers, will be well aware that I consider homeopaths to be idiots. Clever idiots, in the sense that they can convince other idiots to take their idiotic lactose pills. If only all the idiots would wipe each other out.
Contrary to popular belief, I am not a complete idiot (except when it comes to women, heh heh). Unfortunately it seem that my governing body is. Yes, reader, I'm shocked as well. I was thinking the RPSGB was just a harmless body with the sole purpose of screwing as much money out of you as possible. Not so! It seems that they are quite happy to condone the promotion of homeopathy (remember, a practise run by idiots, for idiots). Go on, contact the RPSGB. They will not have the guts to say that homeopathy is useless. This must be because they are staffed by a bunch of idiots, I suppose. No scientist worth his salt would treat homeopathy as anything but a gullible fool's trick. Maybe I'm wrong, but after having looked at the weasel words I have received from the RPSGB, and their constant refusal to present any evidence for homeopathy, I doubt it.
Anyway, hypocrisy. Apparently, there's a new pill called Obecalp (Oh, the wit of marketing men!) which apparently may go on sale on the UK soon. The RPSGB are most unhappy about it. They have wheeled out their chief scientist to say "Mate, this is a shithouse idea, and gives everyone the idea that if you're ill you need a pill. And it will just encourage more overmedication of kids" (This is paraphrased).
I agree with her entirely. I just wonder why the RPSGB are so vocal that the idea of a placebo that advertises itself as a placebo is a Bad Thing, and yet they are utterly silent when it comes to claims that lactose pills cure anything from bed-wetting to cancer.

P.s cardiff have just signed lee jarvis and craig morgan haha!!!
I see she does IgG tests. I wonder how RPSGB view this particular quackery? Might be worth asking, just for fun...
Welsh, haven't you heard homeopathy really does work. That really really really dilute and stirred/shaken plant juice in water will cure just about anything and everything.
Oh wait no sorry my mistake i was confusing homeopathy and real science there
I wonder how RPSGB would react to a complaint from a member of the public about a website owned by a pharmacist selling quack remedies, IGg tests, and veterinary products, even though these have mysteriously disappeared... Ah well, that's what the WayBack Machine's for...

they should really have a think on this obecalp thing... anyone who has watched 'scrubs' will know that it is a bunch of shite... we might as well go back to the day when a Dr asks for a Rx to be labelled 'The Tablets'. Most probably someone will bring them back one month though cos they are the wrong shape and don't work as well...
