Seances and twitter, Mr T ’s graduation, syndicated culture and lunacy. All this plus the homeopaths guide to physics, drugs classification and the result of our T-Shirt Competition in the latest edition of Skeptics with a K. Apologies for lateness!

Gosh…wow… gave me the shock of my life driving down the M4 this morning at 6.38am listening to this week’s edition to find myself not only namechecked, but imagineered as a big, black, bling-ed bloke.
Hopefully there’ll be more on that story soon (MHRA aren’t speed demons).
Cheers,
Dr*T

Hey guys, excellent work, I started listening to your podcast a few weeks ago and have been hooked since. I especially like how down to earth you guys are and your honest opinions, based on fact
, of all the bullsh*t that goes on in Britain and around the world. Thanks again and keep up the good work, I eagerly await my next ‘fix’ of common sense.

I was in the doctor’s tonight. Whilst I was waiting I was looking at some leaflets. One was on MALARIA. On the back of the leaflet there was a section on ‘MALARIA MYTHS (Myths associated with Malaria)’. The final myth read:
MYTH: I’m taking homeopathic medicines to protect against malaria so I don’t need to do anything else to protect myself.
FACT: There is NO evidence that homeopathic or herbal medication will protect you from malaria. Seek advice on antimalarial medication from a healthcare professional before you travel.
Now this is issued by the GOVERNMENT. Who try and get healthcare correct ‘cos they pay for it with our money.
They should issue a statement saying that homeopathic medicines are just f***ing water.

Much as I wish it was issued by the government, the Malaria leaflet in question is actually published by GlaxoSmithKline.
The government (via the NHS) seem to be a bit wishy-washy on homeopathy. Certainly, the attitude displayed on the NHS website seems to be “scientists say it doesn’t work, but homeopaths disagree”.

I walk past the NHS Homeopathic Hospital in central London every day on the way to work. It makes me sad, but then I get to reject manuscripts about homeopathy *in* work, which makes it OK again.
