  • The Cross Examiner Podcast S02E04 - Homeopathy Part 3 - The Final Verdict
    May 30 2024


    Welcome to the Cross Examiner Podcast, the Internet's courtroom in the case of rationality versus religion. Our host, a seasoned attorney and outspoken atheist, takes on the rise of Christian nationalism and the misinformation fueling it. This episode is the third part of our series on homeopathy, where we delve into the pseudo-scientific practices and the alarming lack of regulation surrounding it. In this episode, our host recounts the history of homeopathy, from its inception by Samuel Hahnemann in the 1790s to its current status as a legally recognized "drug" under the FDA. He explains the dubious principles behind homeopathy, such as the "law of similars" and extreme dilutions, which result in remedies that are just water. The episode also covers the regulatory loopholes that allow homeopathic products to be marketed without proving their safety or efficacy. Our host also performs a daring stunt by ingesting 240 homeopathic pain relief pills and contacting the Poison Control Center to highlight the absurdity of these so-called remedies. The results are both enlightening and alarming, shedding light on the real risks posed by homeopathy and the urgent need for stricter regulations.

    Don't miss this eye-opening episode that challenges the very foundations of homeopathy and calls for a more rational approach to medicine. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider subscribing.

    Stay informed and stay rational.
