Pseudoscience for the kiddies.
You know how I feel about homeopathy, right? If not, read this and come back. We’ll wait. Okay, got it? So, reader JT sent me this article in the Scottish Herald titled Homeopathic medicine “not good” for children. It has a very good, skeptical slant with plenty of quotes from real physicians stating that homeopathy is nothing more than a…

Sylvia Browne Snippet #2
WOMAN: Hi Sylvia. I have a brother who was murdered, do you know who did it? (Audience laughter, which I’m assuming is merely the result of a shock of hearing something so bold and not because they think murder is funny) WOMAN: It was horrible, do you know a name or anything that they . . . ? SYLVIA: Honey,…

(I’m editing to add that reader Rav Winston just sent me this link to a story reporting that the blood…

Pseudoscience tries to get sexy
Apologies for missing my daily posting yesterday – real life once again interfered, as I actually was forced to work all day (and all night). The horror! Thankfully, the boss is rewarding our crew today with donuts (Dunkin, of course, this is Boston) for breakfast, fine Italian cuisine (I’m not facetiously referring to pizza, it really is delicious) for lunch,…

Everything happens for a reason.
YouTube is rife with charlatans. Where else can you so easily reach millions of people for free? One recent addition to the collection of absurdities is this “QiGong Master,” who demonstrates his amazing ability to knock over pieces of wood, break glass, and move a bowl of water from a few meters away. Watch this video carefully, and then read…
