Reddit reviews Homeopathic Accident and Emergency First Aid Kit

Maybe these are the same people peddling the Homeopathic Accident Kit.

Lots of the 5* reviews are golden

If you're new to this sort of thing, then it's a good read, I guess.

But this is why I got out of /r/skeptic , as it seemed like every other post was the equivalent of shooting clay pigeons on the ground. Yes, homeopathy is stupid -- as a yoga teacher, I know more than most how fervently the woo community touts its benefits despite the complete lack of scientific validation. But you're either the sort of person who's smart enough never to use it, or you're the sort of person who automatically distrusts any word against it from the "medical establishment". It's all preaching to the choir.

Ah, what the hell. Here's some reviews from the Amazon page:

> Problems purchasing (One star) Unable to actually buy this, as despite stated homeopathic beliefs, it was not possible to purchase this item using a 200th-generation photocopy of a banknote.

> Beautiful Box (Two Stars) I figured I should definitely write this in while drinking my glass of diluted, diluted wine. Why should Big Pharma with their fancy schmancy randomized double-blind clinical trials be getting all the money? Why shouldn't we be giving it to someone who can put a pretty marvelous glucose pill in a green box. I mean, just look at that box--it's beautiful and worth the money right there. It screams environmental awareness. If I had a box like that people would know I was somebody. They would say, "There she comes with a medically looking thingie box. She must be an EMT." Instant adoration, right there. When someone is bleeding out in the street, this is what I want. Big Pharma wants to sell you gauze and have you hold pressure, but don't fall for it. When someone is in v. fib, give him/her a glucose pill with the memory of some electricity. This is much, much cheaper than those defibrillators from Big Pharma. I'm giving this two stars, because I wish I had thought of it and I'm jealous. It's just too hard to be smart and study all your life to do clinical studies and go through a lengthy approval process to market medicine. Getting rich off a box like this has long been a dream of mine.

> Did not help in my potions class. (One Star). Doesn't even come with any eye of newt.

> The dilutions were too strong! (Five Stars) I tried to dilute most of the vials as they were just too strong, curses, they just got even stronger!

> A minor problem (One Star) I dropped the contents of this case by accident, and the tablets became mixed. I did my best to put them back in the right tubes, even going so far as to run high pressure liquid chromatography and gas chromatograms, but I could not detect any difference between the pills so I just did my best. Now I have a dilemma: what if I have heatstroke and accidentally take the remedy for hypothermia? That could be a disaster. The best I can hope for, I guess, is that, like Nelsons before them, they forgot to add the magic to the sugar pills.

> Refills available (One Star) The really good news is that you can now also get refills for these kits. Yup, From your kitchen tap.

> Saved the lives of 10 out of 11 of my children (Five Stars) This kit is amazing and will save countless (more) lives. I gave some of the pills to my children, and 10 out of 11 of them are still alive! That's a 90.9% successful cure rate for all of the many diseases and traumas that might have killed them. 90.9%! That's equivalent to an A-, which was much higher than my son Dilby's GPA ever was. I highly recommend this review and this product!
