Primrose Road

So it's Homeopathy Awareness Week (check out the series over on the Skepchick blog), and I am disappointed to learn that when I had osteomyelitis of the jaw a few years ago, I could have avoided multiple surgeries and months of antibiotics by simply swallowing some gunpowder. That's right, gunpowder. Or rather, highly diluted gunpowder that's really just water.

Which reminds me: thank you doctors who did biopsies and culture and sensitivity tests to determine exactly what antibiotics I needed, and thank you doctors and nurses who operated to remove infected bone and tissue. I know it would have been much easier to just give me a glass of magic water. ;)
