Get fucking vaccinated, see your doctor, and take your meds. Stay safe out there you crayon-eating motherfuckers.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! Crayons are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...

I'm pretty sure I read she will just stick to an older crowd and not give rabid dog saliva to kids next time.

Rabies is the deadliest virus in the world (Rated by % of fatalities in unvaccinated patients). Its incubation period is months long though

My mom went to a holistic doctor, the fuck twat put her on a "lose 20lbs in 20 days diet". She lost the weight, but it also killed her...

UK? We already eradicated rabies here, don't bring it back!
britishdownunder
Know what they call homeopathic remedies that actually work? Medicine.
omh2
In the case of homeopathy we don't. The entire premise of homeopathy is provably absurd. A properly prepared homeopathic remedy is water
phobosorbust
That's because no homeopathic therapy works. Unless you're thirsty, I guess.
PraiseTitties
Guess that's where Thad gets his supply
Domehammer
Of course its from the UK, the new Florida.
derpman4k
anti vaxers - "I won't vax my kids" *sees homeopathic store* "Now this random stuff, I will give my kids"
cakeycakes
Are... are the dogs ok?
Telharmonius
I have a homeopathy kit from the late 1800's. The bottles contain well water. Doctors don't hate you. Use real drugs.
HelloKittyDilly
Okay but seriously where the hell is she getting a constant supply of rabid dogs
catrov
Probably selecting them from among the many political aspirants in the US.
omh2
The beauty of homeopathy, 1 drop of dog saliva = 1000 liters of... whatever you want to call the resulting little water bottles
c00lh4nd
Not from the UK as we quarantine all animals without heath passports coming into the country. Rabies is very rare on uk streets

How did she find a rabid dog? What idiot brought one into the country?

The problem is that ALL kids are stupid, and we need at least some of them to live long enough to grow up and be less stupid.
ISEESTUPIDPEOPLE
Homeopathy is actually supported by tax payers money in parts of Europe. They are clever crooks.
AFSaltLife
Its big in Germany.
Mooseheart
Successful lobbying.

There’s no need to bring us Marines into this. We’ve been vaccinated against stuff that nobody’s heard of.
MechaNinja
The problem really isn't eating the crayons. Shoving them up your nose to see how many you can get up there, however, isn't great.
kevinbaken
Good. They need some negative press. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/meningitis-trial-verdict-1.3552941

This is so terrible. In this day and age, why do people believe in this stuff?
TheWhiteRat
Because humanity is a failed race.
GentlemanScientist
Now THAT is prime irony, right there. You respond to willful ignorance with willful ignorance.
TheRockDude
an overwhelming distrust in government/science/big pharma, lots of anecdotal evidence probably best explained as placebo, and -
TheRockDude
- the desire for "natural" remedies that don't have side effects, apparently
Corrodias
Bingo. And let's be honest, after looking at our politicians and medical businesses, it's hard to blame people for distrusting them.
Corrodias
Hell, I don't trust them as far as I can throw them, but I guess I trust that certain things are broadly true that these people don't.

PointWhoringProfessional
Crayon-eating... how dare you.
ConspiracyCritic
People think homeopathic is the way to go because they assume there aren't side effects. In reality, they haven't been studied.
Mooseheart
Its literally just water.
flail
Homeopathy has been studied. It is 100% pure bullshit.
WhatzitTooya
Cant have side effects if there are no effects at all.
iamtherealdonniebrasco
Yes they have. Try reading Kent or Boericke
JustADumbRename
Also, it doesn't do a goddamn thing
GentlemanScientist
It has been extensively studied, and the conclusion is "unless our understanding of fundamental physics is all wrong, this is baloney.".
phobosorbust
That's a standard physics hedge. For non-scientists, simplify to "this is all baloney".
DisgruntledFerret
On the contrary, the effect of water on the human body has been studied extensively.
jucyblucy
So has the placebo effect, so that plus hydration is... Good for you?
MrJaunty
You know, I really prefer play-doh.
Mithi
TIL that there is a step down even from crayon eating.
MrJaunty
Hey y'all don't say that.

'hey Eric, how is that treatment going?'

This is classic Australian television, my dad got to see the moon landing on telly but I saw this news story when it aired.

"These people are so stupid they'll buy anything" -Likely what she said
FlyingMonkeyPoo
Probably not even real saliva

"They're so stupid I bet we could sell them water."

this one is truly sad
Traja01
It's from a Robin Williams standup, if you're interested.
kkanne20
oh I was thinking "raw water" or whatever it's called. Haha
AeroEngineer
No, the real problem is that she is stupid enough to believe her own bullshit. "This isn't regular stupid. This is advanced stupid.".
EggFooYung
You have to take lessons to be that stupid.
youhavetocallmeknighthawk
My boss, an anti vaxer, believes, and spreads this stupidity as much as possible, that doctors are not professionals,they are practicing
youhavetocallmeknighthawk
And that's why they work at a medical practice and there are varying opinions.
doctorbees
I wasn't aware medical school turned everyone into identical robots with the same opinions.
ChaotikWolfi
Have you contemplated murdering your boss? o.o
youhavetocallmeknighthawk
It is truly easier than being "corrected" on things as simple as sleet vs freezing rain.
youhavetocallmeknighthawk
I stopped really arguing with him when he told me he doesn't like that I cite facts when we have debates. I also play dumb a lot now because
krugle
It says the treatment itself is actually approved in Canada.
clanc43
Yup. Awesome having free health care though! Free rabies!
chillmike
Not really, it's more akin to "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. 1/2
chillmike
2/2 This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease"
RydWolf
"For entertainment purposes only."
dtek
"Approved," or "Not Prohibited?" There's a difference.
krugle
"The treatment is approved in general for use in Canada"
dtek
Wow :(
omh2
It is more on the "Not prohibited" side, it is legal for sale if the seller is licensed, but illegal for use in a clinical setting. The
omh2
license is pretty much just a "this is not poisonous" stamp as opposed to any indication of expected effectiveness
kevinbaken
Health Canada said in a statement "not authorized for sale in the country and the individual involved has agreed to stop selling it."
krugle
"The treatment is approved in general for use in Canada" the seller just wasn't licensed.
kevinbaken
It's confusing. Most of the articles I'm reading state that it can't be used in a "clinical setting"
krugle
Doctors can't offer or suggest its use but if you wish to use it you can purchase it.
Woffenhorst
Banning water *would* have more negative than positive effects.
