The royal family, including Charles are big proponents of homeopathy. Let's see how much homeopathy is going to help him now. I'm sure at least as much as those alternative methods Steve Jobs chose helped him, back then...

You’ve got to be kidding me. Is it corruption or stupidity? As in, are they selling vials of contaminated water as medicine or are they just known to trust pseudoscience?

[–] computerscientistI@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The water/solvent isn't even contaminated. It is deluted so thoroughly, you can't even find a single molecule of whatever ingredient is supposed to show any effect.

It's hypocrisy and the typical rich bozo alienation syndrome, they have easy and unlimited access to best medicine in the world, so it's easy to forget that others don't and promote charlatanerie. It could also be malicious if we look at how they don't do anything against gutting the healthcare.

So, stupidity or strong belief in placebo?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

I imagine he is not that stupid nor really believes in a placebo.
