Contrary to popular opinions, humans are not ants.

Guys, looks like we have the zombie apocalypse in our hands.
And all because of homeopathy.

Canada: secretly evil.

I dunno about the Homeopathy part. My grandparents and great grandparents and aunt sold traditional asian herbal medicine and Cordyceps is one of the products they sold at the old store. It's significance partially stems from the old folktales believing it to be an animal which transformed into a plant at certain types of the year instead of a parasite, but still.

I watched about an hour of The Holy Mountain before the DVD was too scratched to continue.

You're gonna need some LSD or shrooms, or shrooms soaked in LSD to understand that!

[Trapezohedron]

Try using a bunch of Cordyceps? Specifically the ones that have adapted to the human physiology, thus allowing them to control you and etc etc.

Alternatively just bang your head repeatedly into a wall until you start seeing things.

All the design tips that come up on Imgur are actually helping me put my CV together.

I just read of a guy (first article that popped up when I googled the name from a Polish source) who has a yeast overgrowth in his stomach. So, anything he is gets partially metabolized into alcohol. Dude wakes up with a hangover daily.

[LordSlowpoke]

wow, you cited daily mail unironically

that's my wtf for the day

[Skyrunner]

Too bad he couldn't just eat some antifungal medicine and kill -all- the things. :c

[nogoodnames]

I seem to recall that cordyceps acts as an immunosuppressant, which makes sense considering its parasitic nature. Pretty funny how it's advertised as "enhancing your immune system". I guess it may seem that way if you take it for a cold or something where the problem is mainly just your immune system overreacting, but you'd think they wouldn't be allowed to make such a ridiculous claim. Shows you how backwards homeopathy is.

Of course, it's not homeopathy. Herbal "medicine", sure. A subset of naturopathy, just like homeopathy, but different.

Homeopathy is the whole "water has memory" "like cures like" and stuff. The end result being they put some drops of cyanide in water, dilute it to hilarious degrees by taking a single of the dilute and putting it into another container of water about 50+ times, and saying "This will cure your cyanide poisoning!"

So a special level of hilarious bullshit. Apparently water has memory, but not of the countless times it's passed through the sewer system.

At least with herbal medicine, it has the benefit (and drawback) of actually having the possibility of an active ingredient. Though drawback because, not being under FDA regulation, there's no telling -what- they put into it, they could put anything in, really. And even if they put in what they say they have, it's not tested to actually be effective, and it's not refined either. Like "willow bark", aspirin comes from it, but you don't take willow bark because aspirin is refined. The bark would give you nausea and such, while aspirin would not, refined down to just the active ingredients.

Of course, it's not homeopathy. Naturopathy would be better suited as a name.

Sounds like a bad murder mystery.

"Water has a memory, and it never forgets... TO KILL!"

Edit: Water, WATER. Not war. Bah, I'm off to play Startopia.
