		<description>Homeopathic treatment for obesity: Get that bowl of water out again! Insert kilo of supermarket LARD into bowl of water. Wait a minute, remove lard (this can be used later for cooking your fried breakfast, or used to bake cakes and mince pies, luvley) using a micro syringe, withdraw 1 ml of the potent lard water remedy. Dilute this to 20C. Using 1 litre of this remedy (I know that is overdose territory), mix it with your bath water, submerge patient completely under the surface of the water, bear in mind Archimedes principal and make sure there are enough towels draped around the area of the bath. Ensure patient stays submerged for at least an hour ( a straw can be used to assist in air confabulation), repeat 12 times a day for six months.
DO NOT EAT BETWEEN THERAPIES.  The patient will definitely overcome their obesity and may grow gills.</description>

		<description>EDIT: should say &quot;..yours to enjoy shortly after administration&quot;. Using &#039;soon&#039; twice in a sentence - shouldn&#039;t have experimented with the remedy as it seems to affect grammar as well. Either that or the popular combination of water, hops, malt and barley  imbibed while typing.</description>

		<description>Fed up with thinking rationally? Unable to enjoy &#039;Most Haunted&#039;?  Difficulties detecting   your aura? 
Help at last! Cure that persistent   skepticism   with the latest in homeopathic treatments - Woo! (TM)

This powerful remedy is derived from samples taken from a trio of natural sources (3 being the magic number of course). These include spittle sprayed from flabbergasted listeners to tales of psychic  fettling, the pure unadulterated  piss surreptitiously collected from the urinals of The Crown and Dr Duncan&#039;s on alternate Thursdays (preferably during  a full moon) and saliva residue from beer glasses lovinging  caressed  while reading Dawkins.
This combination of potent ingredients is then suitably diluted to a degree that only String Theorists are equipped to mathematically model. 
Furthermore, to ensure the memory of the ingredients remain intact in solution and quantum coherence to the body&#039;s inherent biofield is guaranteed, the resulting treatment undertakes that most rigorous of tests - a session on a Nintendo DS Lite running Dr Kawashima&#039;s Brain Training.

Needless to say, gullibility, ignorance, and an all round love of things bullshittery will soon be yours to enjoy soon after administration. 

Say goodbye to science, reason and critical thinking for good!

Available from all dubious Holistic websites and of course, Boots.</description>

		<description>Homeopathic treatment for &#039;Lock-Jaw&#039;: Place rusty nail in bowl of water and excite bowl.  Remove drop of water from bowl, dilute up to 30C, administer to patient in this &#039;neat&#039; liquid form.


Homeopathic cure for infertility: Wank into bowl of water (remembering to remove rusty nail first -in case of cross contamination).  Once a drop of male reproductive fat is securely shot into bowl, then vibrate, take drop of water out of bowl and dilute up to 29C.  Get turkey baster, and partially fill with distilled water then &#039;suck-up, some of the homeopathic man-milk. Now the tricky bit; administer treatment to patient in any available orifice that shows itself before patient gets wind of what you&#039;re up to. (caution can only be administered to male OR female humans only)

Homeopathic treatment for HIV/AIDS: get current sufferer of disease to do something with a test tube. Put test tube into (clean) bowl of water, take drop of treated water and dilute to 10C (as this needs to be  a much weaker solution than normal-don&#039;t want to scare patient too quickly into rude health or the shock of health might eventually kill them).

Large scale homeopathic cure for Mike Hall&#039;s infection: put frog in a lake (such as a quarry or a real lake like Windemere or Loch Ness). Again a very weak solution to start with, throw Mike in lake and inform him that he has to apprehend the frog and kiss it. After a couple of weeks of aqua-Mike&#039;s flailing about in an ice cold Scottish Loch, his infection should be cured or he would have drowned (killing the infection with him). Caution! Side-effects with this weak solution may give rise to some mild shaking, paleness of some areas of the skin, a loss of feeling in the extremities (such as arms, legs and &#039;meat and veg area&#039;), loss of some involuntary functions (e.g. lungs, heart, kidneys and gall bladder) and possibility of hypothermia and 
Pneumonia.

Homeopathic cure for homeopathy:  Whilst you still have your big lake (Loch Ness) attach a very very large numbers of homeopaths to the middle of the lake suitably anchored to the floor of the lake.  There needs to be at least 400 metres of water above their heads, otherwise  the solution will be too homeopathicly weak.  Take drops of water from all around the lake, enough to swim in, and drop this in another lake and hold the patients under the lake for 20 minutes, and repeat every hour until the last flinch has died down.</description>
