Far better balanced and thoughtful than I could manage in the face of such naive stupidity, Herr Doktor Professor Cross sums up the situation nicely. Well done that man.

A bonus cockbucket for you today. Before I was exposed to the lovely Ben Goldacre, not like that you smutty people, I confess I had some vague feeling that there might be something in some of this alternative medicine stuff. Turns out, it was crap. Simple proposition: if there was anything in any of it, it wouldn’t be alternative would it? There’s no conspiracy. If it worked, your GP and the fine upstanding drugs companies, possibly even NICE, would be all over it.

It doesn’t fucking work.

It doesn’t stop stupidity like “The Secret”, or anything with “quantum” in the title roping in a bunch of suckers and making the perpetrators at the top of the pyramid a fuckload of money.

Then I came across this absolute beauty. It has everything: DNA, resonance, quantum, chakras, sacred geometry and much, much more! All you need to do is watch a video and listen to some special music.

Tell you what, I’ll listen to some trip hop and watch my screensaver for a bit. We can even get a bunch of people to do and and collate the results?
