On Homeopathy

Interesting video debunking homeopathy

For those that don't want to spend the 15 minutes to watch it, the key points:

The basis of homeopathy is that you find slight poisons that cause certain symptoms and give a diluted form to the patient. The more diluted, the stronger the medicine.

Now generally, what happens is homeopathic medicines dilute to the point that there is a small chance of even one atom or molecule remaining in the entire bottle of medicine. The example given is...imagine a single grain of rice crushed down and ground into a sphere of water the size of the solar system - a sphere centered on the sun with a radius ending at Pluto...and then diluted twice more in the same size sphere.

I could say more...the joke after "the more diluted, the stronger the medicine" about how the guy died from an overdose because he didn't take any medicine was pretty funny, and mentioning how he took two bottles of homeopathic pills at once without any concern was also amusing...but that's really all that I need to mention.
