It's a really tough competition, but if I had to choose the most ridiculous form of quackery out there, I'd have to choose homeopathy. Although it's common for so-called "alternative" medicines to be so utterly implausible from a scientific standpoint that it is not unreasonable, barring very compelling positive evidence, to provisionally reject them as impossible, homeopathy goes one further than most forms of alt-med. In fact, it goes many...  

The thing is that without proper study and education, doctors simply can not recommend something they don't know about, and they know that if they do, they open the door to trouble. However, parents that choose to try autism homeopathy ...

Here's a Canadian ND telling us to use 'homeopathy the science' as prophylaxis & treatment for flus (see www.bclocalnews.com/.../78170322.html ) : "[aka] "homeoprophylaxis [...and we're told] modern science cannot fully explain how homeopathy, a 200-year-old science, works in the human body much in the same way as acupuncture cannot be explained but it is still a viable 5,000-year-old science!" Boy, these sciences are OLD. Older than...well...  

A couple of years ago, I re-posted an old article of mine about homeopathy discussing its ludicrous claims, its feeble attempts to provide a scientific explanation for those claims, and basically pointing out that no solid evidence has ever been found that infinitely diluted solutions of spurious ingredients have any more beneficial effect on a [...]Homeopathy really doesn’t work is a post from: Sciencebase Science Blog  

I love the courage of the Green Journal in calling out quackery. You wouldn't find an article like this in JAMA or the Annals. Of note, one of the authors is identified with a department of complementary medicine. All the same, he knows things that go quack.  

I happen to be fortunate enough this year to have taken the Friday after Thanksgiving off, and it is a very good thing indeed. However, this morning, having indulged in the American tradition of stuffing myself full of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and various other most excellent and hearty foods, all accompanied by some hearty ale.
