Homeopathy

[prosfilaes]

This article mentions, among other things, how homeopaths are going to Africa to explain how, instead of mosquito nets, insecticides, quinine, and other tested tools of modern science, they should be taking magic sugar pills to prevent malaria. Of course, the UK Society of Homeopathy, instead of proving that their magic sugar pills actually work, or at least posting a counter-argument, they sued to have it taken down. Fortunately, James Randi is an American (which puts more weight on the plaintiff to prove that a libel is false than the UK does) and runs his own website, so put it up on the website. Great example of the Streisand effect.
