Want to Get Fucked but Not Kissed? Buy Some Oscillococcinum or Other So-Called Homeopathic Remedies.

Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Briefly, homeopathy was dreamed up about 200 years ago. Take a look here to see  what's on whikipedia. The two principles, if you will, are that like cures like and the more you dilute something the stronger it gets. (I'll let you folks look-up the like cures like.) 

Now, let me repeat that, "The more you dilute something the stronger it gets."

Though I don't know it to be true, I think that Oscillococcinum is one of the best sellers. Take a look here to find out more.

OK, here's how it works. They take the ingredient, duck liver, and dilute it. Remember, the more you dilute it, the stronger it becomes. If you look at the back of the box, this is what you'll see:

"Active Ingredient: Anas Barbariae Hepatis et Cordis Extractum (200CK HPUS). Inactive Ingredients: Sucrose, Lactose."

That long funny name, I guess is the ducks' part, and of course we know what sucrose and lactose are. So, here's the good part, the 200CK HPUS. Now, they really wanted to make this remedy strong so they diluted it 200 times. How does that work?

OK, take 100 parts water, add a drop of the active ingredient (the duck stuff), and shake. Actually, these homeopathic folks have a magic way of shaking (if you do any reading on this you'll find out the secret and magic way they do it).

Now, take the diluted solution, take one drop of that and put that in 100 drops of water. So, are getting the idea? Yep, you do this 200 times. I don't think you need to know a lot of physics or chemistry to know that there is absolutely nothing left, no active ingredient. Nothing. No, I'm not implying that the active ingredient would do anything.

I will say that some of what's on the box is true and honest to a fault.
"No side effects, non-drowsy, no drug interactions."
THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS EXCEPT SUGAR!

Here's what CVS's Website says:

"Homeopathic Medicine. Reduces duration and severity of flu symptoms. Symptoms of Flu: Fever, chills, body aches and pains. No side effects. No drug interactions. Non-drowsy.

Folks, you've been warned.

You are selling this and not only doesn't  it help in any way, it can't. And, look at what you are saying about it!

"Homeopathic Medicine. Reduces duration and severity of flu symptoms. Symptoms of Flu: Fever, chills, body aches and pains. No side effects. No drug interactions. Non-drowsy. Take Oscillo at the first sign of flu! Oscillococcinum (o-sill-o-cox-see-num) is safe, natural and easy to take. Oscillo is used by millions of people and recommended by doctors around the world.

As a customer who buys my prescriptions from CVS I look forward to your response.

Thank you,
