How To Removie Ikea Stick On Mirrors

Believers, atheists and fallacies

why when believers seek undermine the position non-believer, agnostic or atheist read (word demonized and monstuosizada where there for them until the end), tend to refer to as the standard Stalinist communism atheist, as such inseparable from non-belief in gods and / or unavoidable shows where you can take the absence of belief in the divine? I've already heard too many times. The latest in the recent encyclical of Benedict XVI gave us recently, but has only been one more.

Yes, I know, you tend to the fallacy when the internal heat is released to the defense of his position, and we know that for many the best defense is a good offense. But in short, a argument as they can leave the frog said, because if it applies to each can be applied to other, indeed. Nothing more appropriate to send to hell the argument a paragraph published in the blog "cannibalistic cooking Guide" published by Mario Romero :

One of the reasons is intended to include for spitting his ravings, is the question of Marxism. According to that letter, "Marx was an atheist, ergo, atheism is equivalent to Marxism."

But if we are righteous, and use that kind of argument, then we can qualify for free all that the gains we measuring with the rod. In such a way that we can use the example of Hitler, which was vegetarian, and very bad painter (Christian well) then, following the line of "reasoning" ratz, obviously such practices invariably Nazism and beliefs about the supremacy of the white race. Of course, this has no foundation. Anyone can rate this fallacious argument, and retrograde, but then why the same argument, applied to atheism it is valid to many people?

The quote seems to me conclusively to refute the words contained in the encyclical. Either way I will never tire of saying: we must not always resort to such Nazi, follow these bad examples presented, to return the ball. In the score of times believers have the misfortune to come out ahead by a landslide, which are many centuries throughout history in which it has made war, killed, prosecuted, tortured, extorted and other ADOS on behalf of the gods, whatever religion they wanted to defend those gods at all times. Even in the times we live indigestible still suffer atrocities in the name of God, is named after a Christian or Muslim.

"These are not religious, are fanatical, belief in God has nothing to do with it", he said a good friend of mine believer once. Well, let's face it ... the same goes for the Stalinist communists or other repressive regime ... that's not were atheists, were fans. To make matters worse fans of a political or economic theory, a thesis that includes atheism, but atheism is . No, far from secularism. Fanatics who kill in God's name if they are of their own theism. So I made false conclusions ...

See if once we learned: do not believe in higher beings have not attached any political connotation, philosophical or moral per se . No guidelines atheist, do not act in a way not common believers. Claiming that by not believing that a god who gives moral standards will act unethically or in bad faith is absurd. As society has developed an ethical construction that we have seen grow and evolve thanks to the artwork and increasingly alien to religion, a construct that considers ethical values \u200b\u200bfor themselves and their weight for human dignity within. Many assume and defend those values \u200b\u200bbut not the issuance of a deity as absolute, but will not provide rewards of eternal life or salvation after death. From this point of view is a somewhat less interested ethics, we used to order this world, not to win another award. And this ethic grows parallel to the manifest cruelty of the states where legislation is still under ethical theists, those moral "revealed" divine therefore no discussion or rethinking social support for the staunch believers, as cruel, unjust and outdated look.

And it out of Marxism.

My friend, who does not like you tried in their religion with the constant reference to the last Inquisition ask at least the same. And without going into half compared to assess whether or not. That I think no, but that's an issue that should be treated on another occasion.

How To Fix Rip On Seam Of Couch

As much as I see in the TV series "Medium" with Patricia Arquette police solve cases with their paranormal abilities that no one is tempted to confuse fantasy with reality, let alone to the usual practice of farmers to sell the plot of a work film as "based on facts or real characters, as is the case, to have more success with the morbid fascination of some naive viewers. Reality is always harder. Santa and the Three Kings did not exist, they are kid things.

has spent just over a month and no matter how many books written by mediums of great powers, it does not matter how many conferences large to across the world and is indifferent to express exculpantemente not do it for money. It is also quite indifferent to the clucking media uncritically their "prestige" and its weight in cases of (surprisingly) known in the past. He has spent more than a month after the alleged wild consultations medium Gordon Smith and poor Madeleine is still missing and still no sign of her or his whereabouts. "According to him ... perhaps require their "extraordinary powers" months and months, curiously the same as a thorough police investigation and parallel to it to give a result? Asking questions like this is absurd, of course. The fact is that while television was introduced play in a real drama things continue as they were. With all the sensationalism of the press have never seen a revelation of a medium, except in the series, would lead anyone to solve a sad case like this, or any other, and even less with immediacy as would be logical to be real "powers" smug. We have never seen and never see it, of course.
little more to add.

Perfumes With Coconut

mediums and Madeleine Press and mediums of Madeleine

Well, I broke the para-abnormal in the media circus of British girl Madeleine McCann disappeared. I have long since assumed that they would have done, or who would. It is well known to be everyday offerings CANTAMAÑANAS en los casos de este tipo (Como se dice en Magonía los buitres vuelan sobre la carroña), es decir, no es nuevo. Lo que me parece más vergonzante aún es que la prensa monte un espectáculo alrededor de tan bochornosos episodios como lo haría un fascinado y desinformado ciudadano crédulo más, o Iker Jiménez, es decir, hablando de las cualidades de los médiums en cuestión, en éste caso un tal Gordon Smith, peluquero de profesión, de forma que se dan por ciertos sus poderes, el origen de los mismos, o al menos no ofreciendo un punto de vista razonable que contraste esas insensateces. No, el tono siempre es amarillista.
Léase por ejemplo, en el artículo del newspaper El Mundo on Wednesday 2 October headlined:

is the seventh son of a man who in turn was the seventh son among his siblings

And? This, written as they read, leads to the idea that it is likely that the medium really has powers above because, as already quoted in the text:

Gordon believes that his powers stem from a kind of cabal prodigious

You see, Gordon does not believe that I have power, they simply believe that given by some, come from such nonsense. There is no question, as would a serious journalist, if the hairdresser has powers for what it says on the medieval legend that the seventh son a seventh son would have magical powers such as clairvoyance and other Mancia, or because of their birth ordinal casual situation believing you are finished, poisoning of the legend that was bound to have them.

is the same, the article promotes credulity, he never speaks with a minimum of skepticism, never questions or contrasts with other views such powers or their intentions. Simpel descriptive phrases are, tell Gordon what he does, not what you say to evade any question of doubt. In fact in bold title bother to give "moral credibility" Barber leaving the medium clear that "never takes his services ", rejuvenated with that" "It would be an insult to do this for money, put a price on people who are suffering and need your help."

But anyway, I know not, may not charge you for those involved in his "guesses" at the end of the day you can do today to stop, "scavenger" to the public in such delicate cases indeed. What exposed to it? A few lines before and let us clear that the article "Gordon has published four books about his powers that have sold millions of copies worldwide and has appeared on lecture tours that have taken him across five continents."

As icing:

The If Gordon Smith has not only attracted the interest of the populace miraculous. Archie Roy and Tricia Robertson, two scientists from the University of Glasgow, have sued their collaboration to try to give a rational explanation for his powers. "Gordon receives information that does not reach any of the five senses" , Roy says, "is precise and detailed information that comes from anyone who knows and who talk for a while."

We lost because it is not check if you have power, no ... taken for granted. I wonder if these scientists have been quoted correctly and, if so, if anything objective along with the reporter who has given us this pearl in the world will have seen David Copperfield or some mentalist ever.

Pareidolia and ridicule religion ... not ceases. Uri Geller

Chigago An old woman, USA, ensures that the image of the Virgin Mary appeared in the stomach a turtle that his family has a pet.

all happened when Shirley McVane, 81, saw the face of the Virgin in the womb of her grandson's pet. His daughter Dolly said: "The first time I saw her, I thought it was going crazy" but then I looked carefully and said "I can not believe. It is impossible to deny. "

Meanwhile, Dianne Dunagan, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Chicago said that "if something like this makes people think about God and pray, then it is a good thing."

Published in: How curious!

That's stupidity knows no bounds and is something well known throughout the world. As we have seen too many examples of this nonsense about the relationship between belief + pareidolia preceding the news and not surprise anyone. Serve as not to surprise, in the belief that we are cured of surprises, but to emphasize once again level unintelligent and ridiculous that they can reach when we give the powers of reason to the field of faith.

I would emphasize that although the mere fact that the perceived sentence casual and family forms assume something amazing or evidence "Impossible to deny" is an act of irrationality and lack of critical thinking, the final words of Mrs. Dianne Dunagan pose a shameful immorality. The decent and serious these situations would not encourage that border the parodic, but apparently, as in the most aggressive advertising campaigns, anything goes to place the product. I keep thinking about how many people tend to pray and bow to its religious side when one is plagued by injury, disease or disaster. How good are accidents, diseases and disasters for this reason? I shudder at the prospect of far nothing really think that many other (and the certainty that some have, as Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer ).
I would say that if it takes endorse demonstrations grotesque shapes and forms reminiscent of sea gods and saints, ham, eggs , potatoes and pizzas for people to believe in them and read it few serious arguments, mature weight and can provide for it.

not get the video removed from YouTube showing his fraud

• The video seeks to "defend the citizens of irrationality."
• sued Uri Geller for violation of copyright to withdraw. "
• Geller has lost not only demand but has been sued for abusing copyright law.

Uri Geller, TV personality of the seventies famous for being able to bend and break a spoon with the power of your mind (very popular in Spain after his appearance on 'Directísimo', presented by José María Iñigo ) has lost a lawsuit in which it demanded the withdrawal of a video on YouTube which shows that there was fraud.

In that video where James Randi, a well known skeptic United States, shows that Geller's powers do not exist, but are the result of a sleight of hand trick.

The company mentalist Explorologist sued the page referred to delete the video in question, claiming that violated copyright law by showing images that only he has rights.

However, according to American law, of the 14 minutes that has the document Geller could claim only three seconds copyright, as most of the images that make the story not yours.

In this sense, time of images Geller belonging to appear in the video that was not enough for a successful complaint, as Geller's claim was dismissed.

Moreover, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)-American non-profit organization that fights for the rights of freedom of expression in the context of today's digital era, has filed a lawsuit against Geller for abusing the copyright law in the U.S..

will shortly open a Spa in Gijón and are already advertising on their advertising Thalassotherapy, an absurdity that, with the commercial appeal of the term "therapy" is becoming more fashion. One of many "therapies" alternatives that fascinate the modern consumer looking for the miracle of the different, apparently novel and easy.

I leave you with an article published this year in the log " The Marplatense Skeptical Monthly Bulletin of the Association for Rational Thought Broadcasting ( ADePENSAR ) hoping that those who can read have information beyond the anecdotal in the name of what is actually talasoterpia and I imagine that most will read the moniker and will be a misconception to the likely explanation, incomplete and partial "is a therapy (natural, of course) that uses the healing properties of seawater.

What is Thalassotherapy? Frenchman René Quinton in the late 19 th century, believed have found a number of "biological constants" which stated that the temperature, the marine environment and the salt concentration is the same in all living things because they originated in the sea, as summarized in his "General Law of Evidence" . Proof? no.
Not content with his "discovery" Quintón transferred this idea to medicine, but had no basis for it. So he created the isotonic solution based on marine plasma that very humbly named "Plasma of Quinton." What are these technical terms: plasma and isotonic solution? then: seawater.
Legend has started Quinton "Therapy" of sea water after cure of tuberculosis. Affected by this disease would have consulted a Jesuit friend who told him about a course text in Plato describes how Egyptian priests were "cures sea." Quintón took a few glasses of sea water and tuberculosis chau!

The second major step would have been to supply sea water to patients in many different disease-typhus, cholera and diarrhea, tuberculosis, skin diseases and malnutrition. " It even would have successfully applied intravenously to premature babies. His biographers claim that in their "dispensaries Marine" saved tens of thousands of lives. Only with sea water!

Quinton's ideas are as simple as absurd: the living tend to imitate the marine environment within us because life originated in the sea, the sea water is equivalent to the fluids in the blood tissue as blood is replaceable "Plasma of Quinton" (if true the opposite would be true and the fish should be developed in half blood), for all that (and although it is false and even if true it has nothing to do) water Sea cure.

Proponents are now reaching the ends of state that can revive a bleeding dog if it is transfused with sea water, or the internal environment of the human body has the same, identical, composition of seawater.

Quinton said in 1897 "There is a physiological identity between marine plasma and human plasma" and that was the whole base of his fantasy. At that time his delusions were unfounded, although there was some affinity for the miracle cures in the medical field. As historians tell us the UNMDP Irene Molinari, Silvia Reynoso Daniel Zuppa and in 1893 was created in our city and Asylum Maritime Hospital to treat children suffering from tuberculosis (coincidence?) Through sunbathing (although they called "heliotherapy" it seems more serious) and bathing they called ... yes: Thalassotherapy! Currently

know that the cure of tuberculosis is achieved through proper treatment to kill the bacillus of Koch, a simple bacterium which does not affect the sun or the sea, so go with the argument that the sea baths are therapy medical borders on criminal.

miracle manufacturers sell products claiming that sea water has therapeutic capabilities. Are the same as rediscovered Quinton, as they have then to save millions of lives with seawater would have been forgotten as well as their successes, patients and their magical treatment. (...)



pseudomedicina A variant of this is used by companies of relaxation (spa) that offer the purported properties healing of seawater through hot baths. Surely there must be very relaxing, but it is a medical practice (thalassotherapy).

unscrupulous opportunists take advantage of the trendy New Age to aggiornamiento Quintón technique and talk about rejuvenation therapies, ocean energy, the sea captures all the energy, and "radiation and cosmic emanations put on notice to all The items with the universal forces "for a spa offering a swim disguised curative therapy. In some of these areas do not apply injections of sea water (or its variant, the anus) but which have bathrooms with bizarre names (Hydrokinesitherapy, spa, jet pool, exercise pool) and other practices of doubtful effectiveness as thermal mud poultice of seaweed, algae poultice. But others also suggest dangerous treatments through the use of Quinton Plasma, for example on this site clearly states that

"The claim that sea water is equal to PLASMA, there is nothing metaphorical. Seawater leads to better blood plasma. " (...)

Posted by "The Editor" in " The Marplatense Skeptical , February 2007.

The parallel with homeopathy in sight. Any who wants to start a thriving business has only to look back in time, raise any nonsense of "theory" of last update to the new panorama pseudomedicinal that comes over with the blessing of the government .... and take profits.

In this case remember that Quinton did not receive any scientific training.

Thalassotherapy should see "Psych"

Raised in Santa Barbara for a family of cops, Shawn Spencer ( James Roday, Miss Match ), has some extraordinary powers of observation, made by his father Henry (Corbin Bernsen , Law Los Angeles), a police officer who encouraged the young Shawn always fixed even in the smallest details of everything around him, as a way to train for his inevitable career in the family business.

Unfortunately, after a fight between father and son, Shawn finds himself taking job after job, instead of becoming the detective he was meant to be. However, Shawn did not entirely give up finishes to his ability, and take the habit of making anonymous calls to police with clues about cases he reads in the newspapers or sees on television. But when one of these tracks is very close to the truth, the police are convinced that Shawn is an accomplice in the crime and ends up arrested.

Using his charm and well-tuned talent, Shawn ends up convincing the police that psychic reality and although at first everyone is very skeptical of this explanation, the police department ends up hiring him as a consultant to help resolve cases more complicated.

Thus, with the invaluable help of his best friend Gus (Dule Hill , The West Wing of the White House ), Shawn uses her skills of observation and charismatic personality to become the detective, for one day was trained by opening his own investigation agency, called "Psych" and solving cases that always leave law enforcement totally impressed but with the suspicion that after all this is weird.

As the theme of this blog is concerned, the TV series described in the synopsis above is highly interesting for several reasons. Know in detail all the drama series that include references to paranormal have occurred throughout the history of this medium, but as far as my memory is concerned this is the second (the first was Scooby-Doo as I remembered Carl Sagan in previous entry) and only in long years in which the DACL openly as paranormal phenomena exist and which is also makes it clear, albeit in a exaggerated, the fact that someone who knows how to handle it well learned some tricks, tested and implemented successfully can pay credulity already permissive enough for most people and to cash in on it. When the main character starts her powers of observation and deduction camouflaged with a purported visions grotesque esparajismos staging seems to us too easy unengaño and hard to believe that the other characters naive to swallow for it. And yet, in real life is like that. Many enjoy the tricks of magicians, illusionists and mentalists, we know who are impeccably executed tricks that leave the audience speechless and when we reveal some of these simple tricks can be disappointing at times too. Yet multitudes do not hesitate to swallow it whole when one of those same professionals seeks to pass his skills as Veradero psychic powers, exactly as we see in "Psych" and as in real life, for example, have shown the unfortunate Uri Geller successor. Is not it funny at the same that painful?

"Psych" is really a series more research, but it's fun so indicate. Getting serious is a couple of things in the series that disturb me: the character is a likeable rogue and their investigations are successful may be mistaken that the end justifies the means, but really that's not the intention of the series, which uses the rogue just to create comic situations. The other is that it is evident that in modern society is more profitable to pretend to be psychic to be a detective method and also achieves greater credibility and public demonstrations by theater people. The scam easy on serious work Is it true that U.S. law enforcement partners on the payroll is usually sighted?

a couple of days ago, a friend of mine, credulous in all professional boundaries believer in paranormal and pseudoscience, he tried once more amazed ("becoming?) With the usual discourse of experience. He told me that he had met a fortune teller and psychological and, typically, he had hit many, many things about his current life situation without her SUPPLIERS had any data. Always the same, as in the case of the series the first impression and fascination to the need to believe beyond the analysis compression reaches the trick. The first thing I did was say "you should see Psych."

The science fiction, skepticism in the media

© Carl Sagan

I hope no one considers me too cynical when I say that a good summary of how the programming is commercial and public television simply this: money is everything. At peak times the difference of a single point in the hearing is worth millions of dollars in advertising. Especially since the early eighties, television it has become almost entirely motivated by profit. (...)

paranormal almost never turns out to be a hoax or a psychological aberration or a misunderstanding of the natural world. It would be much more in line with reality, and a much larger public service, a series for adults (as does "Scooby Doo" for children) which systematically investigate claims of paranormal phenomena and was in each case an explanation in terms prosaic . The dramatic tension lie in discovering how the misconceptions and deceptions could generate apparently genuine paranormal phenomena. Maybe I could see a researcher always disappointed with the hope that the next time a case could survive paranormal unambiguous skeptical scrutiny.

There are other obvious defects in the programming of television science fiction. "Star Trek", for example, despite his charm and sharp international perspective and across species, often ignores the most basic scientific facts. The idea that Mr. Spock could be a cross between a human being and a way of life of independent evolution on the planet Vulcan is genetically far less likely to successfully cross a man and an artichoke. The idea, however, serves as a precedent in popular culture the hybrid alien / humans who later became a central component of the history of alien abduction. There must be dozens of alien species in various television and movie series "Star Trek." Most are minor variants of human. The cause must be an economic necessity, the cost is reduced to one actor and a latex mask, but it is a slap in the face of the stochastic nature of the evolutionary process. If there are aliens, I think almost everyone will have a devastatingly look less human than Klingon and Romulans (and will be on totally different levels of technology). "Star Trek" faces no evolution.

in many television shows and movies, even the casual science-phrases that are not essential to an argument devoid of science and are made with incompetence. It costs very little to hire a lawyer to read the script for achieving scientific accuracy. But, as far as I know, why does almost ever. As a result, we have blunders like mentioning "parsec" as a unit of distance rather than speed in the movie "exemplary in many other respects, The Wars. If these things done with minimal care, including the argument could be improved, certainly, could help convey a bit of science to a wide audience.

On TV there are a lot of pseudoscience to the gullible and a reasonable amount of medicine and technology, but virtually nothing about science, especially in large commercial channels, whose executives tend to think science program means a decrease in hearing and loss of benefits, and do not care about anything else. There are employees of stations with the title "science correspondent, and occasional news program was devoted to the science says. But almost never talk about science in them, only medicine and technology. I doubt the channel has one employee whose job is to read the weekly issue of Nature or Science to see if you have found something worth mentioning. When announcing Nobel Prizes in the autumn of Science, there is a "hook" perfect for science news: one possibility to explain why they gave the prizes. But almost always, the most you hear is something like: "... hopefully they will come soon to discover a cure for cancer. ...". Today in Belgrade (...)



Among the trends that work at least marginally by the introduction of a very limited set of attitudes, memories and opinions include the control of major television networks and newspapers for a small number of companies and powerful individuals with a similar motivation, the disappearance of competing newspapers in many cities the replacement of substantive debate the squalid political campaigns and episodic erosion of the principle of separation of powers. It is estimated (according to media expert Ben Bagdikian American) that less than two dozen corporations control more than half "of the global business of newspapers, magazines, television, books and movies." Trends such as the proliferation of cable TV channels, cheap phone calls long distance, fax machines, networks and computer bulletin boards, low-priced desktop publishing computer and examples of university programs in traditional liberal professions could work the opposite direction.

a healer acquitted of a crime of fraud because the victims had to have found his "gross deception"

He leído una noticia que, si bien en ciertos aspectos que destaco en negritas me deja satisfecho en otros me asusta e inquieta profundamente, principalmente porque pienso que ciertas actividades no puenden en absoluto dejar de ser delictivas por el mero hecho de que las víctimas estuviesen más o menos equipados cultural o intelectualmente para detectarlas como tales. Una sentencia como described in the following text on the one hand it exposes the credibility and seriousness of certain practices, but on the other gives wings to its practitioners to camp without fear in society. Case may not be the first or novelty, and hence the proliferation of such blatant and shameless these cheeky. Anyway, again, the content of the sentence is incomprehensible precisely because it openly acknowledges the fraudulent nature of these activities as stated flatly false and crude, while tolerating trade based on them just as obvious that it is false. And this is dangerous.

If you can sue a tobacco, as is happening constantly in Estates, for example, even with all the information we have from time been on the effects of snuff, there should be less with healers and other scammers because, in addition, critical information that gives our citizens today not is as great as presumed by the court. And there is more to do television for it.

You judge.

The Supreme Court acquitted of fraud to a healer sentenced to two and a half years in prison for engaging in exchange for 18,000 euros to cure a terminal cancer patient. The high court ruling says that "hope is humanly understood, but the magic does not trust may seek the protection of criminal law. "

La Audiencia Provincial de Cádiz Nuria Montero Gallardo sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison and a fine of 8 months with daily quota of 6 euros for a crime of fraud continued as particularly serious because you got two of the children of a cancer patient with metastasis pay him 18,000 euros and a bird to heal his father.

However, the Supreme Court in a ruling that the magistrate has lectured José Antonio Martín Pallín considers that there is no deception enough to condemn her for a crime of fraud, because "the average citizen of our society, has a level of information about these diseases and their characteristics, which can hardly rely on paranormal powers rational trust ".

" It is considered that there is no fraud when the taxpayer comes to mediums, magicians, possessors of occult powers, fortune-tellers or fortune or false soothsayers, whose activities can not be regarded as generators of deception that results in socially acceptable or are the basis for a criminal response. In these cases it is considered that deception is so gross and unacceptable that it inidóneo to erect the foundation of a crime of fraud " says the resolution.

also considered indisputable that the complainants were anxious to serious illness of his father and desperately seeking any treatment that could cure their disease, "but" in the wired world we live in, any average person is in a position to know what are the effects of diseases generically collected under the generic name of cancer ".

Noting that doctors had warned that it was impossible to cure carcinoma suffering father, the high court added that, in this case, was even more difficult deception, because the daughter was City Manager and the child, clinical assistant, although work on construction. " In any case the claim could be channeled through civil if they can demonstrate that they were induced by words or insidious machinations" , proposed the resolution.

In February 2001, two of the children of a terminally ill went to the home of Nuria Montero Gallardo in Jerez de la Frontera, because his aunt had told them he had "powers" and that was healing for a family member yours.

After seeing a photograph of their father told them he could be cured if treatment began within a week in exchange for 18,000 euros, of which discounted customers that cost them a bird called "Inseparable" they bought in Ubrique, because the healer said he needed to sacrifice animals and extract the same organs that were sick father. The methods used for healing appeared to put a candle and a bucket of water in front of the photo of the father.

To get the money, the brothers had to borrow money when it imposed the original sentence were paying. At one point, the daughter became ill and was admitted to the hospital, the healer told him he had passed his father's cancer. In July 2001, the man died.

The Cook, the fallacy, the error and contradiction.

Sunday, 18 found in the magazine "The Magazine" this paragraph in an article by chef Santi Santamaría over ham:

When it comes to meat, we must not forget that there are organic meats, the adjective is used to designate products of agriculture and livestock that have been cultivated and bred natural methods without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The animals were fed with grains and legumes are considered environmentally friendly, and have been treated with natural methods such as homeopathy and herbal medicine, and is more than most.

It's a shame how in Mr. Santamaría incurred on a fallacy, a big mistake and a contradiction usual inexplicably in one hour parafillo to explain something as simple as the term "organic meats," which is to illustrate a bit as usual all pseudoscientific nonsense just chained in one way or another.
sadly is well known and popular " naturalistic fallacy" in which everything that exists in nature without a human hand is good in essence because of the act itself and to which many of his followers all manufactured artificially by Human beings tend to be bad, harmful or potentially dangerous. Through this fallacy the chef make the mistake of considering the concept of "chemical" everything that does not come directly from nature. A mistake too unfortunately common.
Chemistry is considered "the science of materials" because what precisely is to study their composition. In all, not just those created or synthesized by human action. And is that everything in nature is composed of chemical compounds. People like Mr. Santamaría, uses the word "chemicals" to refer to the compounds made by human being, consciously or not, using it inappropriately and giving it a darker meaning and extremely manipulative. Because there is no fertilizer or chemical pesticides are not unless it is used in organic farming some kind of system ferlilización and pest elimination merely physical component (using, for example, a driving force or other physical action) if there quealgo well. A pesticide made from a solution of garlic, as I have ever heard of any environmentalist who advocated natural pesticides, would be just as "chemical" one made in a specialist firm. Mr. Santamaría
should perhaps choose his words better, after appropriate illustration to get away from the common mistake of those who constantly appeal to the naturalistic fallacy and refer to what he criticized as artificial fertilizers and pesticides , term also is opposed by simple meaning much better than arguing under the term "natural." The reason for this constant misuse of the word "chemistry" is due to ignorance, lack of information, but chemistry is one of the basic sciences, and the positioning of the alternative naturalistic and away from basic sciences may have much to do, putting Malpensa.
And I guess that's the mistake knowledge on everything related chemistry which ultimately leads to the contradiction ...
... a natural therapy is homeopathy? I sincerely believe that people who like this whole world of alternative and natural need seriously stop and think about what it means to "natural therapy". Because of the first words of the famous chef seems natural to assume that he is all out of the earth and mother nature without a human mind so that, keeping to what the hell it is natural homeopathic therapy? Where in the world or universe and how long Mother Nature gave us the infinitesimal dilutions prepared initially substances toxic? Are there rivers whose waters have been the dilution of other multi-phase element and heated up to the final preparation? Is not the development of a homeopathic potion, or else homeopathic pill, when a curious paradox of pellets dispensed into a complete human intervention process from beginning to end, in concept and in its preparation (regardless of its ineffectiveness or not)? And if so ....¿ therapy is not entirely artificial as the significance of this term as opposed to "natural" Santamaria himself gives us to understand in your paragraph, and inclined to negative for the same reason?
We are accustomed to earning a living with naturism brandish the natural fallacy always to score points with their customer market. It is obvious and logical that homeopaths take the opportunity to jump on the bandwagon and take advantage those who are confused to consider "alternative" synonymous with "natural." What happens is that in this case itself is a victim Santamaría while crier system fallacies, errors and contradictions that the lords of alternative therapies for constant disinformation exercise of his faithful followers.

"Retrodecreto" a step backward. Carl Sagan 1934-1996

"The existence of different ways to understand the person, diagnosis, disease and treatment related to the tradition of different cultures, conditions or criteria and therapeutic medical opinions differ. This diversity of ideas is found in conventional medicine, conventional or allopathic as in the rest of criteria nominated unconventional, complementary, alternative, natural or holistic. Each of these criteria or different techniques used remedies.

criteria they are based on natural therapies are based on a different philosophical base which supports conventional or allopathic medicine and apply diagnostic and therapeutic processes themselves. "

So begins the sad decree Generalitat of Catalonia with to be "regular" "conditions for the exercise of certain natural therapies." That is already beginning with a lie or a terrible mistake in any of the two cases with a falsehood.

Because there different ways (for example) to interpret the infection of HIV from the human body, there is no context or cultural heritage, much less philosophical than conditioning the objective reality of a viral infection or the development of cancer. Against such catastrophes there is only one way to work: monitor, investigate and use reason to understand the mechanisms that cause diseases and fight efficiently, not enslaving traditions as a priority and thus making them a liability.

The way to get to a cure or treatment bypasses the culture, tradition by folklore nor philosophy. Passes through objective processes and rational methods of testing: The use of logical processes razaón and have no point of antagonism or belong exclusively to any culture. Do not assume this actually only going to get is that, relying on this precedent, given the sad situation is that any fencing CANTAMAÑANAS the excuse of "his understanding of diagnosis and disease" to sell their therapy, crazy, useless, and that may be fraudulent and to rise above any medical or scientific.

There is something extremely worrying in this day and in this country, given that The decree is a pioneer, as the Generalitat, cackling with a proud swagger. We are retracing by leaps and bounds (and very big) that humanity was able to progress and move forward by step geisha long and hard for centuries. Those parameters that we establish to protect institutional errors, falsehoods and quackery that were not supported by conclusive evidence. We managed to avoid the application be approved treatment or medication without passing stringent controls (increasingly stringent in the shade of some historical errors) that required such evidence and entering the most basic rules of common sense.

already know, has no rather than addressing a disease with different philosophical or cultural institution to be legitimate to expect that it will cure as he pleases. Even without clinical studies, laboratory tests and corroboration of the same. Which, of course, is something that is required and still requires quite harshly to any medication seriously, those to which they know nothing called allopathic.

History does not seem to teach anything. This is what happens when the gullible in power and society adapt to the "beliefs" become reversing all, as Isaac Asimov said .
