Nuttines squared-Homeopathic thimerosal
Forget that thimerosal has not been shown to cause any diseases (read autism). Forget that homeopathy has never been shown to work under properly controlled scientific conditions and it’s getting its butt kicked in the UK. Nope, none of that matters because, of course, if you dilute it enough something good is bound to come out of it, no? Enter,homeopathic thimersoal, in 30C dilution selling for only $9.95 or $19.95 per bottle! What does it cure? Well, nothing specific apparently (except for the subtle implication that it may help with autism, obviously).
Thimerosal can be used to treat a wide range of diseases, all of which have a unique general pattern of effects upon an individual. Homeopathic medicine seeks to treat the whole person and not just a symptom or two because we are whole beings and not collections of unrelated symptoms.
Well that’s nice isn’t it? A “wide range of diseases” followed by the usual, make-em-feel-precious , standard holistic CAM “treat the whole” nonsense! Wouldn’t you expect the description to be a little more specific though as to what exactly this wide range of disease is comprised of? I mean, will this help with diarrhea, ’cause I smell a lot of BS!

Thimerosal has been shown to cause disease.
Show me one study where thimerosal has been shown to cause a disease, any disease IN ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS! I will then update my sentence to only say that thimerosal has not been shown to cause autism.
Ginger, quote the full sentence: Forget that thimerosal has not been shown to cause any diseases (read autism).
My Gawd! I can See it now…People using this stuff will claim that it cures Autism and other things yet they will probably end up consuming more thimerosal this way then they would ever have from vaccinations.
It is best not to comment on homeopathy if you know nothing about it.
Well, generally that advice applies to everything not just homeopathy. Nevertheless, why do you conclude I know nothing about homeopathy?
