The Prince Arthur Herald, a McGill University student publication, has just published a short piece I wrote on homeopathy. Here is an excerpt:
“In the mid-2000s, semi-isolated acts of “suicide by homeopathy” were performed as demonstrations of the lack of efficacy of this antiquated belief system, culminating in the Liverpudlian 10:23 challenge which extended this act of rational defiance to 30 countries. If homeopathy consists of natural but potent alternative medical treatments, as many people believe, how can you not overdose on them? There is more than meets the eye with regards to homeopathy.”
You can read the whole article here.
I made a companion video which can be accessed here.

It’s October 23rd or 10-23, which has been suggested as Homeopathy Awareness Day, in homage to Avogradro’s number.
Today is as good a day as any to investigate the claims made by homeopathy.
Reading about homeopathy is one thing; seeing the dilutions is another. I hope this is graphic enough for you.
I have also published a public science article on homeopathy in the Prince Arthur Herald as a companion piece.
