Whilst out in Loughborough today I took a short cut through Boots Pharmacy. On the way I couldn't resist having a look at the range of Homeopathic remedies on sale. I picked up a small box of Nelson's 30C Arnica homeopathic remedy. I began reading the wording on the box and became curious at the instructions explaining what to do if you take an overdose! The advice given was to seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist, taking the label with you. I wondered what advice I would be given if I had accidentally (or deliberately) taken too many of these innocent looking sugar pills. At a 30C dilution there is no active ingredient in the pill. Homeopathic remedies are often sold as 'safe' and yet here were clear instructions telling me an overdose was possible and to seek professional advice.

A woman who competed in a radio station's contest to see how much water she could drink without going to the bathroom died of water intoxication, the coroner's office said Saturday.
