43. Many of the things Big Pharma makes actually work

The solution to the opioid crisis is to deal with the opioid crisis. It is not to give government money to homeopaths.

The most popular homeopathic preparation on the market is Oscillococcinum, which is made in France and is sol to cure the flu. (The manufacturer claims it will cure everything, but they only advertise it for flu.) This is how to make it.

Get a one-liter sealable container. Pour into it one liter of pancreatic juice mixed with glucose.

Purchase a live Muscovy duck. Behead it and remove the heart and liver. Place 35 grams of the liver and 15 of the heart in the container with the juice, and leave it on the shelf for exactly 40 days.

At the end of the aging period, add one milliliter of this goop to 99 milliliters of water. Close the lid and succuss, or repeatedly thump against the table. (This step is so important that one homeopathy company made a machine that succusses exactly like its founder did.)

At this point you are thinking, "this won't cure anything." You are correct but we are not done yet. Dump the contents down the sink and fill the container back up with water, then succuss again. Repeat until you have gone through 200 dilutions. Then put one drop on a sugar pill and sell for a dollar a tablet.

Your opinion of the pharmaceutical industry, which makes many products that work fine, will not in any way change the fact that homeopathy is quackery beyond the wildest dreams of the sleaziest traveling medicine show. And so is naturopathy, chiropractic, reiki, and the rest of the woo Sanders believes in. The only reason he doesn't like leeches is there are conditions leechesactually cure.
