I was noodling around on a silly website with quizzes on deep topics like "Who Is Your Movie Star Match?" and "Are You Marriage Material?" (Ellen Barkin and No, FWIW) when a link popped up to this quiz that determines whether "Holism" or "Allopathy" is the right medical philosophy for you. The questions are posed in such a way to make anyone who subscribes to scientifically-determined means of treatment seem like a pill-popping junkie who lets doctors run their life in 45-second increments. Of course I scored "58 holistic and 41 allopathic" proving, in their words, that I have rejected allopathy because of its narrow views of the mind/spirit/body connection and am prepared to broaden my perspectives to let the body take on a more active role in healing itself.

My goodness, I am a woo and didn't even know it. I am so depressed I'd better run to the nearest Allopath to write me several prescriptions for various anti-depressants.
 
Is your blood boiling? Are you sure there are no undetectable traces of ice cubes in your water? If you used ice in your water back in the late nineties and have refilled the same glass a couple of hundred times since then, that is powerful stuff!:p
 
I don't quite understand exactly what it has to do with homeopathy though? As far as I could see, it didn't mention it once.

Because the word "allopathy" has no meaning or use outside of the pseudoscience of homeopathy.

If I wanted to, I could probably find a paper on the topic of "Why Hitler Was Right" that was clearly anti-Semitic, despite not actually using the word "Jew." Same principle.
 
If a homeopathic solution is making your blood boil, get a homeopathic ice remedy.

Wow, something like the idea of melting some ice into a vial of water, shaking it around, and then diluting that to infinitesimals and drinking it to get the same "cooling effect" really breaks down just exactly how insane homeopathy is...

No, no. Homeopathy is "like cures like". Hence, to cool yourself down homeopathically, you need to slightly increase the temperature of a vial of water, shake it around then dilute it a hundred billion times.

If you do it with ice, you'll obviously warm yourself up ;)

Of course, you'll need to get the solution proscribed by a homeopath at the end, otherwise its not homeopathic, it's just water. (see this thread).

Or you could try a homoeopathic preparation of really hot chillies.

Or take a kettle, 30C. Closer to much of the 'logic' of remedies.

Or just carry on trying different remedies until it gets cooler, and then claim success for the last one you tried. I think that's the classical approach.
