About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

"Fake fake fake" and the BC NDP/Greens endorse the quackery without debate.
http://nationalpost.com/health/naturopaths-not-real-doctors-despite-video-claims-they-are-medically-trained-critics
How could anyone be so stupid to believe these people's claims? As we ALL know by now, treatments like this cannot be verified as a medical cure until it has been endorsed by a celebrity...
Celebrity Fashion Trend: The ‘Penis Facials’
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/03/18/celebrity-fashion-trend-facials-made-cloned-baby-foreskin-cells/
Actress Cate Blanchett revealed a shocking beauty secret in a recent interview saying that she is a big fan of facial cream made in part from cloned cells from the amputated foreskins.
Facial cream? I guess the feminist Cate refuses to swallow.
sick. Reminds me of what men have always tried to convince their girlfriends is good for their skin ... perhaps Cate took her boyfriends seriously ... seriously ?
PS ... I stopped reading after the 6th word of the article ... “homeopathic” ... DONE. I knew where this was going ... straight to the land of quack.
Please tell me these dot.Indian FAKE Doctors weren’t admitted to the USA on an H1b Visa ...
My, my, aren't you the closed-minded one. You've imprisoned yourself inside the Greco-Roman-western European concepts of medicine. You need to consider alternate cures to what ails you, but you first have to allow yourself to be strengthened through diversity and, thereby, culturally enriched. The wellness will simply sweep across your body when you do that.
De-colonialize your science!
(sarcasm = off)
No, I don't believe what I just wrote, either, but that's the attitude of the new-age/leftie types who insist that we, the heirs to those who benefited from the work done by people such as Paracelsus and Edward Jenner, are the ones unwilling to consider "alternate" (i. e., quack) cures.
What's next? The return of psychic surgery? The prescribing of medicines using wing of bat and eye of newt as ingredients?
Oh, and it'll all be covered by your health care plan, won't it?
Did you know that Native peoples NEVER died of cancer!? Nope. It was called “consumption”. “Consumption” which was resistant to the Shaman’s rattles ... or leech treatment.
I prefer my medicine to be “scientific” ... even IF (as everything on the planet) it has an “organic” origin.
On the linked page they had another article on how lavender and tea tree oils are making boys grow breasts.
Would they make girls grow bigger ones? Curious minds want to know.
"...which is then diluted to 0.0001 per cent (a typical concentration for homeopathic therapies)."
It is unbelievable that anyone with an operating brain would believe that a concentration of one part active ingredient per million would have any effect whatsoever. It would be almost undectectable.
Homeopathy is a multibillion dollar industry mostly made up of psuedo-science and ancient alleged medicine from the days when a lifespan was bout 35 years.
There's a H/P store in a strip mall about five minutes from home,when I go there to buy my vitamin E, I see dozens of happy customers buying the homeopathic remedies. They are always busy,one of the most lucrative businesses in town.
Strangely enough, a lot of people do well after buying and using this whole class of drugs or pseudo drugs called Placebos. Unfortunately there are a subset group of ill people who would do much better being treated by scientific and double-blind-evidence-based medicines and medical treatments, and may eschew these in favour of Placebos which may delay treatment until the condition is far worse or untreatable by modern medicine.
Ask any general practitioner about how much of their working life is spent reassuring patients and fending off requests for prescriptions and you'd understand why Placebos are still popular. It's generally the delay or exclusion of actual working treatments that is the big issue here.
