OK, I *was* being nice :-)

Homeopaths aren't bullshit. I had dental work done and suddenly all my gums were swollen. So bad I couldn't eat. I thought it would go away but then I eventually freaked and went to the ER...cashing in on my lovely $5K deductible non-insurance.

They immediately prescribed a salve/cream. I said "This looks like Neosporin. You sure it's safe?"

They said, sure.

I puked my guts out the entire night with two doses only. I could barely stand.

I went to the website of the co that made the salve, it said "NEVER TAKE INTERNALLY." they had told me to put it on my gums, pretty damn internal.

I went to a homeopath, and he told me to take licorice concentrate. (Not the candy, licorice in US is really anise flavoring). Swelling gone in a few days, everything cleared up in a week. I believe in results - would you rather puke your guts out for a week for nothing, or just take something that tastes nasty? The lattter has worked more than twice for me, even on colds, won't change back.

You believe the healthcare system works? They make more money keeping you sick than curing you. That has a lot of implications too in the larger picture.
