Does anyone have any experience with (affordable) homeopathic supplements for older dogs?
Arwen starts to struggle a bit more with walkies. And we do have the buggy, but she also still loves to walk on her own, and we can't always take the buggy...
I've been using the mighty Duck to seek out if there is anything that could help her.
I did find one thing, which got a few amount of good reviews from users.
But seeing it's not very cheap, I was wondering if any of my Friendos have any experience to share.
I'm willing to try the one I found once I have some money again to order it. It it could help her to enjoy the walkies more again... She's definitely worth it 💜
'The Labour Party is watering down its policies on... [fill in policy area of choice]'
At some point the water memory of the original policy will disappear, unless what we are seeing is a party that has taken the logic of #homeopathy & applied it to its own manifesto.
Whether this is a winning strategy depends on the political science 'truth' that #democracy is mostly about voting against not for....
Homeopathy, the pseudoscientific system of medicine, is in the headlines as King Charles has appointed a pro-homeopathy doctor to his staff.
Here's a look at its history and some of the controversies surrounding the "like cures like" doctrine, including the FDA's recommendation that homeopathic eye drops be pulled from the market, and the lawsuit against CVS and Walmart.
If #Brexit supporters wanted to raise an actual valid criticism of European Union, instead of the worn and essentially false “banana curvature” stories, there’s a perfect example in Directive 2001/83/EC. It’s a important directive on medical efficacy evidencing standards that, foundational to all modern medicine. And yet, it’s contaminated by 100% pseudo-scientific nonsense, lobbied by a few influential manufacturers from France and Germany:
(21) Having regard to the particular characteristics of these homeopathic medicinal products, such as the very low level of active principles they contain and the difficulty of applying to them the conventional statistical methods relating to clinical trials, it is desirable to provide a special, simplified registration procedure for those homeopathic medicinal products which are placed on the market without therapeutic indications in a pharmaceutical form and dosage which do not present a risk for the patient.
Read: because medical efficacy of pure water and sugar sold as “homeopathic remedies” is impossible to demonstrate, we just allow it without any evidence.
The next section makes a nod to the German companies who are into #antroposophy business, a similar sectarian movement:
(22) The anthroposophic medicinal products described in an official pharmacopoeia and prepared by a homeopathic method are to be treated, as regards registration and marketing authorization, in the same way as homeopathic medicinal products.
Of course, Brexit supporters did not raise this argument as part of their criticism of EU. Same goes for anti-vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists believing EU is at the mercy of omnipotent lobby groups who make people wear cough masks in the breaks between conducting black masses under Satan’s and Bill Gates’ portraits.
Why? Because #homeopathy is also an important pseudo-scientific sector of business in the UK and in the “organic”, “natural” and the whole pseudo-scientific market and you don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
Fortunately, NHS kicked homeopaths from the medicine quite a while ago.
US pharmacies are taking Big Pharma's phenylephrine based cold meds off the shelves after it has been conclusively shown they are no more effective than a placebo.
Meanwhile they continue to stock homeopathic cold remedies even though they are literally placebos. Do they think homeopathy users are just too gullible to sue them for misrepresenting water as medicine?
For something that works go behind the counter for pseudoephedrine.
I was watching a video from More Perfect Union about how the US and Puerto Rico itself have created a wealth inequality that is as profoundly unique as it is disturbing.
In a clip from this video, I noticed something called Anarchapulco in the background. So, I paused it and looked it up.
I was going to do one last sketch on Ian Smith, but, to be honest, he's just a gymbro science-denier that sells "water treatments" and supplements. 🥱
What's the point of all this?
These grifters are insidious and the far-right is trying to appropriate leftist terminologies and twist them.
They take small grains of truth, the base rhetoric of AnComs and grow genetically modified shitmuffins from them. If you ever doubt this is happening, remember that Nazi is short for National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Watch yourselves out there, keep your heads on a swivel, and don't assume that people are who they say they are.
The defamation complaint by Himalaya Wellness is only the latest in a long series of strong-arm tactics and legal intimidation used against Dr Cyriac Abby Philips aka ‘The Liver Doc’, by proponents of alternative medicine.
Apparently there are 'health coaches' on ticktock etcetera who can 'help you train your brain not to need Prescription Glasses', & also 'Mens Health Coaches' who can advise in 'Naturally boosting your Testosterone Levels', & also whatever the hell they are doing (communally & in person via zoom!) in the attached Link [NSFW]
There really is a sucker born every minute isn't there ? 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏿
