CFI Discussion Group: How to raise awareness of Homeopathy dangers?
Come join our us for an engaging topic-centered discussion. Java Vivace will serve you your choice of poison (coffee, tea, beer, etc.) and delicious food (unique crepes), while your fellow CFIers will serve up the conversation.
The topic for February is:
How can we raise public awareness of the dangers of Homeopathy??? Homeopathy has nothing to do with herbs or natural medicine. Instead it is literally water administered as "medicine" to cure depression, schizophrenia, AIDS, tuberculosis, and everything else. It has repetitively been proven ineffective, yet is gaining in popularity. Skeptics in England are performing a stunt to raise awareness. I'd like to brainstorm for a more effective campaign we can do in Oregon later this year.
All are welcome. Cost for Non-CFI members: $2. Free for members.
If you would like to suggest future topics or make any other suggestions, please send them to the organizers.
Thanks,
-Kurt

One of the funniest observations I remember related to the discussion was the idea that homeopathies popularity stems from the fact that it was, at one time, simply the least harmful remedy available.
