Homeopathy career options

[Tom Morris]

Check this out. I was having a look at a website called Londoncolleges.com - it's a guide to all the courses that are available at Further Education colleges (16-19 and adult education) in London. They have an option on there to find courses by career. Among all the normal careers, they have some woo-woo careers...

Homeopath. For this they reccomend that you take courses in science, psychology, pharmacology, counselling, lab work, chemistry, health and safety, sociology, medicine, biology, beauty, health and fitness. But of course, dilute that with a bit of complementary medicine.

Also, how about becoming a healer, chiropractor or acupuncturist. Alas, stage magician isn't on there. Probably because with them you know they are fooling you, wheras with the homeopaths you are blisfully unaware that they are flogging you sugar pills.

Look at all these 'complementary medicine' course in London colleges. Just to think. These are all tax subsidised.

Apparently, Kensington and Chelsea College have short adult courses on complementary nonsense. Should I go along and try to bring a voice of reason to these people?

You can try writing to them, Tom, but I doubt you'll receive a coherent reply. Or any reply at all, for that matter...

A very large dilution. Ocean-sized at least.

Do any of these course teach on the scientific method or the philosophy of science?

They would ask you to leave as you're being disruptive. Remember in England that to complain about something in front of people in "authority" makes you the crank.
