Take that, Steve.

Good post. I live in the UK and to me homeopathy is our own version of creationism.
It makes me embarrassed to be British – as does the royal family btw.
I had to deal with a co-worker who was spitting out the “but my dad took it and it worked” line, I considered going into the fallacy of personal testimony and the effects of placebo with him but decided to drop it – I might as well explain quantum mechanics to a chimp than to try and alter the beliefs of a die-hard believer. (this guys doesn’t believe in evolution by the way – and this is the UK) He is the first evolution denier I have met in 24 years of life – wow!
February 2, 2008 at 2:58 pm |
HAHAHAHAHA
You should actually do this, though… it’s awesome!
February 2, 2008 at 3:22 pm |
Yeah! Take that!
February 2, 2008 at 3:23 pm |
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Oh, and FP!
February 2, 2008 at 5:14 pm |
I am offended by this site. When the doctors couldn’t cure my fatigue, nausea, and achyness, crap based medicine was all that was left for me!
February 2, 2008 at 5:18 pm |
So, is this medicine about crap or medicine using crap?
February 2, 2008 at 5:18 pm |
Nice
February 2, 2008 at 5:35 pm |
Ah, fecal-based medicine, truly, a wonder of our modern society.
February 2, 2008 at 6:29 pm |
Skeptic’s (Skeptics’ ?) Guide, please never stop. This is seriously the best part of my week in grad school.
February 2, 2008 at 6:56 pm |
That’ll show ‘em
February 2, 2008 at 8:19 pm |
I don’t advocate the use of crap to cure any ill, but if conventional medicine has failed, what has the patient to lose?
February 2, 2008 at 8:48 pm |
Crap-Based Medicine is SO much more holistic and natural than EVIL SCIENCE.
February 2, 2008 at 9:04 pm |
I knew it. It is well documented that Steve, and every MD on the planet, is in the pocket of big Pharma. When will america open their eyes?
By the way, whatever happened to “Witty and Weighty” as the SGU slogan…
February 2, 2008 at 9:29 pm |
Yeah, take that Steve.
February 2, 2008 at 9:52 pm |
Nice one.
February 2, 2008 at 10:06 pm |
Yes, take that. Although, this could turn out to be a cool Quack-Watch-type resource site for bogus and bullshit medicine. I’d be happy to help contribute.
February 2, 2008 at 10:06 pm |
Wait, isn’t this what happens when the doctor asks for a stool sample?
February 2, 2008 at 10:18 pm |
Awesome! Finally a blog for homeopathy, acupunture, and the like.
February 2, 2008 at 11:09 pm |
Thanks for this fantastic, informative blog, I check it daily, and can’t go without my daily crap-based medicine fix! The title says it all!
February 2, 2008 at 11:53 pm |
OH YEAH!
February 3, 2008 at 12:27 am |
Man, Steve just got served!
February 3, 2008 at 12:40 am |
So basically, this blog is about homeopathy? Because according to the law of infinitessimals, the water from the toilet I just flushed will soon be incredibly diluted into all of the world’s oceans, thus turning everyone’s next glass of water from the tap into a re-enactment of 2girls1cup.
February 3, 2008 at 12:57 am |
H’awesome. Great show this week!
February 3, 2008 at 1:01 am |
What do you have to lose? Money, precious time, and diversion away from any possible real help.
I work in a cancer center, and while there was in the past (and often still, sadly) some times tolerance for quack cures for those beyond our help, many caregivers have come to understand that passive tolerance for crap based medicine eventually creates a dynamic and critical mass of stupidity that eventually comes to hurt patients who could be helped, were it not for the distractions and confusion that the woo woo people create.
Ignorance kills. This fact should energize everyone with a brain and the ability to use it.
February 3, 2008 at 3:23 am |
Oh man, please keep the ball rolling on this one. There’s so much room for satire in this concept.
February 3, 2008 at 3:40 am |
I would just like to point out that “Ha”, as you so eloquently put it, is the logical fallacy known as the argument from “Oh, Yeah!”, or more formally the argumentum ad Jayfuss
February 3, 2008 at 4:14 am |
Hey I think there may actually be a Crap Based Medicine! I’ve only just listened to the Quackcast episode on Probiotics, and the good doctor mentioned a medical procedure to replenish the Bacteria in the gut by using a feeding to tube to add liquified faeces from a healthy family member!
February 3, 2008 at 4:48 am |
Take that, silly skeptics. Believing in science… puhlease.
February 3, 2008 at 5:34 am |
Take this,
Fecal transplants to cure Clostridium difficile infection
Finally a use for the Discovery Institute!
February 3, 2008 at 6:14 am |
Homeapathy works.. it cured my thirst and dry throat like that.. crap based my ass
February 3, 2008 at 8:05 pm |
ha
February 3, 2008 at 11:51 pm |
Now go to CafePress.com and get that arranged so we can buy our lapel buttons (“I’m full of Crap-Based Medicine”), bumper stickers (“This car runs on Crap-Based Medicine”) and RW signature fanny packs (“This bag contains Crap-Based Medicine”).
February 4, 2008 at 2:50 am |
so I just heard about your new blog on the latest Skeptics Guide #132 – so I just HAD to check it out and say hello, before I foget. I hope you post here regularly- if not let me know your main blog site and I will subscribe there. I have been listening to Skeptics Guide for a while now, I forget what my first episode was, and I really enjoy your show. I cried a little too, when I found out Will Smith was a Scientologist. Anyway I look forward to hearing and reading more. Thanks.
February 4, 2008 at 5:21 am |
Excellent post. Now if only we could get rid of all the skeptical trolls.
February 4, 2008 at 6:27 am |
Best.
Post.
Ever.
Keep up the good work!

For more Crap Based “Medicine”, check out my Chiropractic Student Debt Blog.
Chiropractors like to say they are “evidence based”. Don’t believe it because there is NO evidence for chiropractic. There may be SOME evidence for spinal manipulation for SOME low back pain, but manipulation is not exclusively chiropractic — it can be done by MDs, PTs, and DOs who are REALLY evidence based (and actually know how to diagnosis!!)
Chiropractic = The Flagship of Crap Based Medicine
February 4, 2008 at 3:16 pm |
epic win.
February 4, 2008 at 3:28 pm |
Monkeys at the zoo must be dispensing crap based meds.
“Aw Mom, I don’t want it. It tastes yucky!”
February 4, 2008 at 3:56 pm |
You are awesome Rebecca!
February 4, 2008 at 4:33 pm |
I can’t remember who said it, but the joke from SGU I always love to quote is:
Q: What do you call alternative medicine that actually works?
A: Medicine : )
February 4, 2008 at 5:19 pm |
I am just piling on the clever idea.
I am somewhat concerned that this may cause confusion among legitimate practitioners of crap-based medicine. As noted above, Fecalopathy has a rich, steaming tradition in many parts of our benighted planet.
February 4, 2008 at 5:56 pm |
Booyah!
February 4, 2008 at 8:19 pm |
I prefer to call it Turd-Based since I’m a Texan and all.
February 4, 2008 at 10:54 pm |
Awesome Rebecca, I’d be glad to blog for you if you decide to go ahead with this.
February 5, 2008 at 1:40 am |
Ex-cellent, Rebecca, this should be interesting!
February 5, 2008 at 5:57 am |
Steven, I’d love to hear you work into the next “Name that Logical Fallacy” the Argumentum ad Jayfuss. Let the hilarity ensue.
February 5, 2008 at 8:18 am |
AHAHHAHA
^^
February 5, 2008 at 8:32 am |
Awesome as always, Rebecca. I’ll be surprised if this blog really goes anywhere – I’m pretty sure it was just a one-time joke, and you seem to have a lot on your plate these days – but at the very least make “Crap-Based Medicine” a category on your Skepchick blog.
February 5, 2008 at 4:02 pm |
Oh thank you for starting this blog. Crap-Based Medicine will save the world, once the lies spewed by the government and big “Science” are finally revealed. Long live reality alternatives!
February 5, 2008 at 9:29 pm |
Crap-based medicine is a very accurate term. Especially for homeopathy – given that a homeopathic remedy contains more molecules of actual human crap than the active ingredient on the label.
February 5, 2008 at 10:20 pm |
brilliant
February 6, 2008 at 8:16 pm |
I just caught up on the SGU podcast and heard the reference to this stunning blog-o-rific creation.
Kudos, Rebecca! I’d love to see more posts … in ALL of your free time, of course … Or maybe I’ll compete and start up a brilliant “Medicine Schmedicine” site.

Excellent!
I expected nothing less from you all

SNORT!
February 9, 2008 at 2:02 pm |
Very funny Rebecca. I’m listening to #132 right now and you just announced this hot new blog on crap-based medicine. Technology rules!
Speaking of CBM, I teach Intro Bio at Oklahoma State University. On their first exam this semester, I wrote a series of questions about those disgusting Kinoki Foot Pads. For one question, I presented a graph comparing serum mercury concentrations before and after treatment with the Kinoki Pads and with a simple cotton pad (control). For both treatment and control, I illustrated that mercury levels were much lower at the end of the trial.
More than 2/3 of our students (n = 600) concluded that the Kinoki Foot Pads caused mercury levels to decrease – they completely ignored the fact that the control group showed the identical effect!
We’ve got a lot of work to do in the realm of CBM. . .

This video depicts a tribe of people that utilizes crap-based medicine… it also depicts mind-control over stuffed dead animals, man-boobs, and Dragonforce. http://youtube.com/watch?v=tb23eu8Y0vY

I am supposed to be finishing a paper right now, so forgive me for not going too in-depth right now, but I thought you may want to look up Ayurvedic medicine– a TRULY crap-based medicine, as it utilizes animal dung as part of its… crap.
This is the first one I got with google:
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/1335/Tech/ayur_ved.html
Please, please look into this further, as it may be one of the most important contributions to in crap-based medicine.
PS…thank you to Rebecca and everyone on the SGU podcast!!!
February 12, 2008 at 12:47 pm |
yeah Steve! take that. even Rebecca can use the interweb!!!
February 12, 2008 at 2:42 pm |
This is why I never drink water, I always suspected it was bad for you.
February 13, 2008 at 10:46 pm |
incredible.
November 8, 2008 at 2:12 pm |
Haaahhaaaaa – Excellent. I’m recouperating after surgery at the mo and somebody reckoned I should start listening to the SGU podcasts and I’ve just listened to this one from Jan 08.
You have made my recouperation considerably more enjoyable
Cheers

catching up to old episodes… I was kinda shocked this blog would still be alive… perhaps it’s all thanks to homoeopathy – or perhaps shock-therapy… get it?
Say, crap based medicine… should that also include scat?
February 7, 2011 at 3:17 am |

Keep up the good work
