RFK Jr., ever the historian, reminded listeners that the UK was once the “birthplace of Magna Carta”.

Nonsense! As any fule* kno, she was a brave Hungarian peasant girl who forced King John to sign the pledge at Runnymede and close the boozers at half past ten.

Is all this to be forgotten?

Unfortunately, I share your pessimistic view, George. Republican party has been completely captured by the big tech and other interests. Slowly the Democratic party is being captured as well. During last elections most of the Democratic freshmen senators were captured by crypto industry. For example, last year, a group of them (includes your CA senator Schiff and my MD senator Alsobrooks) voted with Republicans to pass a horrible crypto friendly bill. I think this will continue, thanks to Citizens United ruling.

It appears that RFK Jr. wants to make America healthy again by killing off children and old people.

If my attitudes/verdicts became less and less positive, it is merely because the evidence became more and more overtly negative.

One problem here of course is that the SCAM world in general and homeopathy in particular employs a different definition of ‘evidence’. In their view, evidence is “what they see with their own eyes”. Which in fact is an understandable position, especially since ‘evidence’ literally means ‘that what is seen’.

The problem with this is of course that personal observations and experiences can very easily fool observers one way or another. This is why we have little this thing called ‘rigorous science’. And rigorous science so far, after well over 200 years, has not found any clear, consistent and independently repeatable effects of homeopathy, other than placebo effects. Also note that this is even without taking into account homeopathy’s extreme implausibility, based on universally accepted scientific principles.

All of which means that homeopathy should be considered an illusion, an idea that does not work.

After several deaths, such as reported here, kambo has been banned in several countries such as Brazil, and Australia since 2021. And as we speak a Kambo ‘practitioner’ is on trial in Australia for his role in the death of one of his clients.*

So what have the British authorities been doing all this time? Asleep at the wheel?

At one of the National Eczema Society events years ago when I was on the Board, there was a dermatology panel with audience questions and someone asked a very vague question about “natural” approaches. A well-repected NHS Dermatology Consultant answered with a hint of a sigh “Well, what’s natural? There’s nothing more natural than a rattlesnake bite”.
