To any Trans Fem out there,

⚠️DO NOT PURCHASE THESE⚠️

This account is run by neo-nazis, and the pills are extremely bad for you. They boost testosterone levels in AMAB people and can lead to poisoning if taken on a regular basis. Please background check any hormone Meds you try to purchase !!

Edit: The website itself is a victim of a troll attack by this anti-trans group, but even so, it might be covering its tracks. Please be safe. Do not let them exploit you.

"Vous en avez sûrement déjà tous entendu parler : certains humains seraient capables de vivre en se privant de nourriture et d'eau... Un vrai miracle ! Petit voyage au pays des personnes qui prétendent se nourrir de soleil, de lumière, d'air, de prana, d'énergie vitale cosmique..." J'ai bien aimé le passage où un gourou qui prétend ne rien manger depuis des années se fait surprendre à la table d'un restaurant, devant un copieux repas...

L'Ordre des médecins suspends the French medical license of the president of fake médecine for speaking out against homeopathy

The French doctors' group @fakemedecine published an open letter opposing government funding for homeopathy. Homeopaths complained. This week, @ordre_medecins suspended the group's president's medical license for three months. #FakeMed

One of the things I like about having blogged continuously for so many years are times when I’ve written about something that few, if any, other bloggers have and then, years later, learn of an update to the story. It’s particularly great when these sorts of stories occur overseas and hardly punctured the consciousness of the English-speaking world, giving me the opportunity to be the main take…

Homeopathy is The One Quackery To Rule Them All. The same is true all over the world. It's also true that the preferred tactic of homeopaths and other quacks is to try to suppress criticism of their quackery, not to answer it with science. During Homeopathy Awareness Week, I present an example of this in France.

Two links in English about what has been happening in France lately about “Fake Medicines” 

You think Big Pharma rules the world ? 

Look at the numbers of Boiron. Look at how they react and above all how they are defended by EVERYONE when a little number of doctors (124) speak up against them. 

I don’t want the money I give the state through taxes to go into the pockets of a big firm who sells sugar beads sprayed with “agitated” water and can do potentially more harm than good.(Yo, state ? I don’t want it to go into bombs either. But that’s another subject for another time, I guess) 

One little example: 

Oscillococcinnum (Boiron’s “flu remedie”) is sold by pharmacists as “homeopathic vaccine” 

Meaning people happily take this inneficient bead of sugar that was spraid with water that, a number of dilutions equalling to one glass of water in the Atlantic ocean ago, used to contain ONE drop of water that was in contact with the mold growing on the heart of a domestic muscovy duck, they take this, and they think they are protected from the flu. And they don’t get the real vaccines because vaccines causes autism, of course (*this is sarcasm yet what many French people think, thank you so much Wakefield and US mom bloggers and whoever else*). 

Meanwhile, each year, between 1,500 and 2,000 people die because of the flu in France (Institut Pasteur). With a nice peak estimated at 18 300 surplus (direct and un-direct, like aggravating already present symptoms) deaths in 2014 because of a new strain (H3N2 or H2N3, don’t remember) that the *real* vaccine had not covered. One vaccine works, not always, but when it’s for the right strain it does. The other one is just diluted water on sugar. 

Apparently, French people have made their decision since they defend homeopathy en masse (while hitting on a random “Big Pharma” - I always picture the Boiron family rubbing their hands whenever someone invocates Big Pharma). In one way we can only applaud their courage to do something so drastic about the world’s overpopulation problem, don’t you think?

fake médicine: Science-based medicine versus homeopathy in France

fake médicine: Science-based medicine versus homeopathy in France

Homeopathy Awareness Week started three days ago, on April 10, as it does every year because that’s the birthday of Samuel Hahnemann, the man who dreamt up homeopathy roughly 220 years ago. As I said at the time, I, like so many other skeptics, wanted to help celebrate this yearly occasion by reminding everyone that homeopathy is The One Quackery To Rule Them All. I figured that I couldn’t let…
