Now we are back to the cup size problem?!

Not sure cup size can be a problem. Some like a pinch size some like a paw size, some like a cartload. Plenty for everybody.

Resounding success for this spectacular piece of 'faith healing'

A US jury has found a man guilty of killing his sick 11-year-old daughter by praying for her recovery rather than seeking medical care.

[lostsheep]

What really makes me sick (besides the smile/laughter on the face of the sick bastard who let his child die) is that these parents get medical help for themselves, but see fit to trust gawd to cure their children. It seems like some form of Munchausen's syndrome. I would have much more respect for such folks if they let themselves die an agonizing death b/c of their convictions: but this never happens: it is always their child (or someone else's) being sacrificed to the altar of their ideology.

I think a lot more research will be needed before I dismiss this amazing suggestion as cranky!

Russian soccer fans have been told to drink whiskey on their trip to Wales for next month's World Cup qualifier to ward off the H1N1 swine flu virus.

The head of the country's supporter association (VOB) Alexander Shprygin said: "We urge our fans to drink a lot of Welsh whisky as a form of disinfection".

"That should cure all symptoms of the disease."

well, all i can say, is that ihave done the research on this myself!
oh yes! no jokes here!
i AM the experiment!
i drink, i drink whiskey, and i have yet to get swine flu!
i progressed the experiment some, and i have noticed that sick children who are less likely to drink whiskey, are more likely to get swine flu.
and to top it off, none of my freinds who drink any alcohol got swine flu.

well the fucking 'Royals' are at it again and homeopaths are really pushing it peddling a 'swine flu formula'

bastards need locking up

[psychodiva]

and now we have the organic food industry being taken to task oh dear- all that money they might lose- pity eh?

[psychodiva]

and now for those of you who want a laugh and want to find out how evidence based science is NOT done (Cal you might want to read this edit: Cal- you NEED to read this) here is the 'evidence' presented by the British Chiropractic Association to um- 'support' their claims for efficacy of their bogus treatments

and a couple of critiques

Do people argue that organic is more nutritious?

[psychodiva]

yes that's one of the arguments they use - flavour is another- also lack of the chemicals- which is the only reason I buy organic fruit cos I am allergic lol - I'm sure they will also look at these at some point

A welcome bit of sanity from the WHO, as homeopathetic 'treatments' get a big thumbs down.
If there are any gullible fuckwits tuning in who still wish to part with vast chunks of their hard-earned cash - please forward all donations to sme.........etc etc etc....

Thought this was humorous.

Reiki, according to the bishops, is not grounded in science or Christianity and is therefore inappropriate for Catholic institutions.

Hmm. I wonder what Japanese Jesus would have to say about all of this?
