I read that last night. You should see some of the "fresh" water I have been supplied with in China, take my own water filter bottle with me these days!

If it's coming out of your butt like water take loperamide and keep hydrated mate. | |

Water based fads seems to attract idiots, take homeopathy as another good example.

To be fair, anyone selling bottled water (when it's a lifestyle choice rather than a necessity) needs to spout a fair bit of rubbish.
This is taking it to a sillier level. |  |

I love these people. They forget that, back in the good old days we used to drink beer, rather than 'raw' water, on account of it making you really, really ill, whereas the water sed to make beer would have been 'treated'.
Perhaps that's the answer.... [Post edited 4 Jan 2018 13:25]

You should try raw oxygen. An absolute bargain at just £150 per day. Just stick this over your face:

While I have my doubts about the science or non-science behind homeopathy myself, at over 200 years old, the practice is certainly not a fad.
The fact that tens of thousands of registered doctors across the EU prescribe homeopathic remedies to millions of patents each year suggests it's not just for idiots.
FWIW, I have never taken a homeopathic remedy in my life, but I would have no qualms in doing so if my doctor recommended that I did. |  |

Agree it's not a fad and perhaps idiots was too strong a word but just because something has been used and is prescribed doesn't mean it's effective. Often doctors are happy just to get the person out of their clinic.
At best homeopathy offers a placebo benefit which could be provided by anything else the patient believes will work.
It's scientifically impossible for homeopathy itself to actually work as studies have proven.
Homeopathy is no longer available on the NHS:

However I agree with your initial gist that I was too strong in my wording.

"At best homeopathy offers a placebo benefit which could be provided by anything else the patient believes will work."
The placebo effect is proven to work. It works in part because of the status of the doctor. Additionally, there is no negative side effect when administering homeopathy (water).
I really can't see a problem with homeopathy even if it is just a way for doctors to prescribe placebos.
I think a holistic view of medicine has a place alongside a mechanistic approach. Homeopathy haters seem to accept a mechanistic approach only. | |
