Lenny…you seem to have no problem announcing your hyper racists beliefs, even though ALL of the above studies were published in respected scientific journals. Your distain for good research is NOTED!

@Ullman
Funny how the overwhelming majority of scientists think you water-shaking clowns are full of crap.

Why would that be, do you think?

And oh:

Unveiling the Immunostimulatory Potential of Rhus Toxicodendron in Immunocompromised Balb/C Mice blah blah blah blurt blort

The interesting (read: stupid) bit:
“RT, known for its historical use in traditional homeopathic remedies, has demonstrated immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects in various experimental models. To test the immune-boosting effects …”
So these water-shaking clowns claim that their nostrum both suppresses an immune response (“… anti-inflammatory …”) AND at the same time enhances it (“… immune-boosting …”).

So, what is it, Einstein? Hint: it can’t be both at the same time.

Whoopee shit, Dana. More Indian nonsense which will be ignored by everyone apart from you. It will change nothing.

Whilst i don’t have access to the inverse homeopathic IQ capabilities of Pete Attkins I do have AI.
A 1Kg packet of sugar diluted to 10^12 would require around 10^ 12Kg of water
This is only 1 cubic Km whilst the Med is around 3 million cubic M

To fill the Mediterranean at 6c you might need 3 million kg of sugar. This would be rather a waste and could lead to a shortage.
You might have to state 9c to state Mediterranean rather than 10 x Loch Ness.

For misinformation only.
