As a group of Labour MPs brings Parliament into yet more disrepute by claiming immunity from prosecution for fiddling their expenses, we are at risk of forgetting altogether the good work which many backbench MPs do, work which is buried in obscurity even at the best of times.

---it's that we need to spend more time with patients: The demand for complementary medicine (CM) is growing worldwide and so is the supply. So far, there is not much insight in the activities in Dutch CM practices nor in how these activities differ from mainstream general practice. Comparisons on diagnoses and visit length can offer an impression of how Dutch CM practices operate... The CM physicians...

Just over a week ago there was a mass overdose of medication sold by responsible companies like Boots . Across the world people took vastly more than the recommended dose. And nothing happened. The reason? They were overdosing on homeopathic medicine. The campaign was known as 10:23 . The rather strange numbering refers to Avogadro's number . This is a number that delights chemists - it's the number...

So, the British Homeopathic Association has been accused of misrepresenting scientific evidence . This is because they made the bold and braggadocious claim that there is some proof that homeopathy works. Scientific proof. By scientists. With white coats and clipboards and stuff. On the one hand homeopaths place the goalposts around science being too narrow a field to contain their alternative therapies,...

Liverpool NHS Primary Care Trust funds a Department of Homeopathy, one the last four remaining publicly funded homeopathic hospitals in the UK. It publicises that the clinic in the Old Swan Health Centre can offer homeopathic treatments for everything from arthritis to depression and bowel disorders.

I must set more targets for myself. The idea of using google calendar has been successful. I've probably used GCal for two years now. I now am considering setting a very specific target: Lose one 1lb a week. I'm 225 at the moment. Next week I aim for 224. I did a jog today and it changed my whole mood, I think all that oxygen pumping into my heart changes my energy levels and gives me a bit of a lift....

1. The internal combustion engine was used in Ancient Rome but only for the purpose of practical jokes. 2. The part of the monster in James Whale's "Frankenstein" was originally offered to heartthrob Spencer Tracy but he turned down the role to take the even more make-up intensive role of Moby Dick opposite Gregory Peck. 3.

I’ve reported earlier about the Merseyside Skeptics society and their 10:23 campaign, where they would overdose on the homeopathic poison sold by Boots Allience. And like any other group taking a collective overdose of poison the result was as expected: Nothing happened. Of course not, homeopathy is just water! Check out the video on the guardian [...]

The 10:23 campaign against homeopathy raises a question: given that homeopathy doesn’t work, why is there such strong demand for it? A new paper by Werner Troesken (ungated draft pdf) sheds some interesting light on this. He studies not homeopathy...
