If you're up for a slightly scary giggle, go to http://www.ainsworths.com/ and check out some of the choice homoeopathic "remedies" they have in stock under Homoeopathic Remedies → Remedy Store.
Here are some particularly gratifying choices of search terms to get you started:
- micro
- ultra
- water
- berlin
I'm finding it titillating, but impossible, to try to decide if these people are out-and-out charlatans, or the most outrageous gobsmacking fuckwits. Or perhaps they somehow actually believe, with at least sincere and internally self-consistent credulity, that there's some conceivable healing power in selling The Thirthieth Centesimal Potency Of Whisky, in a 96% alcohol solution, at a price that would bring tears to the eyes of even the most well-heeled whisky connoisseur.
I'm also not sure which of those three possibilities scares me most. I'd like to think they're just simple honest crooks, out to make their next buck as best one can in a naughty world, but I fear that the truth is deeper, darker and a whole lot dumber.
Perhaps I can address the question by ringing them up and asking them what homoeopathic remedies they can offer, first for stupidity, and then for venality.
