He died of an overdose. - AICHinEdmonton Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:20:54 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11793 [quote]Personally, I maximize the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies by not taking them at all...thus achieving maximum dilution whenever I drink water.

Does it look like me, Jeff, or Linda...? - randi Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:38:52 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11783 @sibtrag [quote]...thus achieving maximum dilution whenever I drink [/quote] That one made my day! ;D - Tantemøkken Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:30:08 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11781 When Randi eats a whole bottle of homeopathic pills, he is relying on the public's lack of understanding of homeopathy. The really dangerous thing would be for him to grind up one of the pills & mix one tiny grain with a teaspoon of sugar. That would increase the dilution and thus increase the strength of the remedy. Personally, I maximize the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies by not taking them at all...thus achieving maximum dilution whenever I drink water. - sibtrag Wed, 21 Oct 2009 04:35:25 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11780 Perhaps it is like this from the Holistic Computer Medicine site: [url]http://users.bestweb.net/~bennetc/holistic#Computer Homeopathy.[/url] - sibtrag Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:43:46 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11779 I like when Randi eats the whole bottle of pills. Could that be incorporated in the testing for comedic effect? - Gnardude Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:42:00 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11776 Internet homeopathy? is this like Peter Popoff's mail order holy water and junk mail program? - dolandilae Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:53:02 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11772 Whether winning an Ig Nobel prize is a dubious distinction depends a lot on what you get it for. It is [b]not[/b] a prize for bad science. It is not to the Nobel prize what the raspberry awards are to the Oscars. I suppose it can most easily be described as a prize for weird science. Such as making MRI scans of people having sex to see what is going on; or the first description of a homosexual necrophiliac duck; or levitating live frogs in a very strong magnetic field. - Trent Hoare Tue, 20 Oct 2009 22:45:01 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/743-delusions-about-dilutions-never-cease.html#comment-11771 Excuse my ignorance, but what is the ambiguous term Ig Nobel? A-HA! Now that it is no longer in Arial font, it makes itself clear. Otherwise, in Arial, thanks to an egregious example of stupidity by the font designer, there is no way, other than context, to differentiate a capital I and a lower case l. See for yourself. - daveg703 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:06:29 +0100
