****Update!!! I deleted the video of me overdosing on the Calms Forte because people on YouTube were not getting the point and were leaving a lot of idiotic comments because they didn't even bother watching the video and assuming that I was ODing on actual medication. The average view duration was about two minutes anyways so good riddance. But I did make an updated video with a visual demonstration showing the process of making a homeopathic dilution. Click here to watch and hopefully you have more than the average person's two minute attention span.
Hidey ho blog peeps. Today you get to watch me swallow an entire bottle of pills. But don't worry, if you are reading this, then I am very much alive and well. This will be my first foray into the world of video and the evil land that is YouTube comments. It's pretty rough. So please. Be gentle.
Of course, I'm not going to be gobbling down just any ol' bottle of medicine. I've purchased a bottle of homeopathic medicine. Calms Forté to be exact. This is a sleep aid so I am assuming that after taking the entire bottle, I should be really sleepy. I am, however, typing these words about five hours after my "overdose" and have yet to experience even so much as a yawn. But according to the website, I should not find this unusual. The curious part about this "sleep aid" is that they claim on their FAQ page that "Hyland’s Calms Forté is not a sedative."
NOT A SEDATIVE? WTF?
So a few things wrong here:
1. The ingredients in Calms Forté are all used for purposes such as helping people with insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, etc. This seems backwards since it goes entirely against the "like cures like" philosophy of homeopathy.
2. So if the above IS backwards then the ingredients that they have used should actually be used as a "wake aid". Sort of like those 5hr energy drinks.
3. Yet they sell this product marketed as a sleep aid when they are not only using the wrong ingredients for such yet actually come right out and say it's not a sedative!
At any rate, I doubt this little stunt of mine will matter but it's still a fun way to make a small point. The point being that homeopathy has absolutely nothing in it. So much nothing in fact that taking an entire bottle does nothing in return. I don't know about you but I would want the medicine I'm taking to have actual medicine in it so that it can do the thing it's actually supposed to do.
