Honesty's The Best Policy (Unless Fraud Works)

So, after a full two hundred years of individuals and "professional" organizations denying Homeopathy is just a placebo, we now know somebody's lying - or really, really stupid - because, without a doubt, Homeopathy IS just a placebo.

A placebo some people appear to get more-than-just-a-little bit crazy over.

O.K., not more-than-just-a-little bit crazy, but a lot more.

Like something cultish has come over them.

Like they'll die if they can't have their magic water.

Researchers say it's the "unique consultations" of the homeopaths that appear to work on their "patients" (we put patients in quotes because -- wait for it -- homeopaths aren't doctors) but isn't what's unique about cults what good talkers the leaders are?

At this rate, it'll probably take another 200 years for someone to finally crack that one open, as well.
