Danger Alert: mix up with homeopathic remedies in France.

**Admin** · 11th November 2007, 12:52 AM

I hereby issue a warning to all UKS members and readers to inform you of the DANGER that in France, some homeopathic remedies made from "mother tincture of Gingko biloba" and others made from "mother tincture of Equisetum arvense" have been mixed up and what is in the bottle may not coincide with what's on the label.

Clearly taking the wrong remedy for the wrong condition could be disastrous - considering the power, claimed by homeopaths, of homeopathic remedies.

If anyone was in France between May and October 2007 and bought or was prescribed either of these products, I suggest that you return them to wherever you bought them from for testing so it can be worked out whether or not you have the correct remedy.

If you are reading this and do not see why it is funny, read this: Homeopathy.

I wonder how much homeopaths charge for their services? Since the farthing and ha'penny are long defunct, would a penny be adequate?

I think what was recalled was mother tinctures rather than potentised remedies, so they should have been distinguishable.

Woah! Dihydrogen Monoxide needs treated with care. Not something for the uninitiated to get involved with.

Yes, dreadful stuff. Apparently it's used to cool nuclear reactors - and it makes a far worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide - and there's a lot of it in sewers too. I've heard tell that some people have actually been known to drink it!! Can you imagine? Watch your kids - you never know when they'll experiment, especially if their friends have succumbed to this evil practice.

And mixed with lard it becomes "anti-ageing cream" - at £40 a tub.
